Yet, as you say, you call it a choice to soften the blow. That would imply, in my mind, that you know the truth, but you are drawn by the other side for the sake of being able to sleep at night, because you don''t want to be -forcing- anyone to do something just because you don''t like it.

So, if you were honest, wouldn''t you have to admit that you are, in actuallity, Pro-Death?

No.

I refuse to call myself ''Pro-death'' just like I refuse to call Pro-life people ''Anti-choice''. Or, for that matter, ''pro-fetus'' or ''anti-woman''. Those are terms that you use to try and make someone feel negatively about the position they''ve taken-- and I believe you need to accept the viewpoint you take, and support it with the term that best suits you.

I could call you guys ''pro-fetus'' or ''anti-woman'' if I wanted to be a p***k. But I don''t. Number 1, I''m in the pro-life guild, number 2, It''s disrespectful, and number 3, it doesn''t depict how I accurately feel about pro-life people-- specifically the ones in this guild.

We''re not anti-choice though. We''re anti-legal-choice. They''d still have the choice, just not the legal one.



The same could be said the other way. "I'm not pro-death, I'm pro-fetal-death-if-mother-wants-it"

Of course that one's longer....

It's not quite the same. They'd still be pro-death however we're not taking away the choice, we're taking away the legal sanctioning of said choice. The choice would still be there it just wouldn't be legally sanctioned.

No matter how you look abortion almost always ends in death, so to support it, no matter for what reason it's still supporting the killing and death of people.

There's death in every single action we do....just not human death. It's not actively supporting death if you don't think there's anything there to kill. Passively, yes. Pro-death is a term worth avoiding though.
