So a friend of mine is really pro-life but she calls herself pro-choice because she has a problem with the government in general. So, during a conversation she said "I think that I would be pro-life if there was universal well balanced sexual education in this country"
We had a really good debate after that, but it got me thinking. So! Just for fun, Fill in the blank:
I would be pro-life if.....
(I'll go first: ...President Bush spontaniously combusted)

I would be pro-life if... NEVER.
Nothing will ever be able to make infringing on a woman's bodily autonomy without her express and ongoing concent acceptable to me. It is the same as asking, "fill in the blank, 'I would support legalized rape if__'."
Perhaps something like "if the world would end if this one person did not have their rights infringed upon," could make me consider a single-case of infringement acceptable for the greater good... but since no such scenarios are ever realistic it seems pointless to mention it.

I would be pro-life if... there was a magic uterus on/off switch.
Don't want to get pregnant? Turn your uterus off and don't conceive.
Want to get pregnant? Turn it on.
Change your mind about being pregnant? Turn your uterus off, and everything comes out.
Technically that last one's just like an abortion, but we can keep that secret between us.

I would be pro-life if the world we lived in was perfect. The only people who get pregnant in this perfect world are the ones who want to be, and if they change their minds the body automatically miscarries with no problems.
Of course, that's never going to happen, because miscarriage isn't going to happen through thought, and there is no contraceptive that's 100% effective.
So hey! I guess I'll never be pro-life.

I would never become pro-life even if I was granted the power to make the people I hate go poof.

There are probably no realistic terms under which I would ever be pro-life. But, for fun ...
I would be pro-life if the only people who ever got and stayed pregnant wanted to be pregnant, there were no such thing as birth defects, nobody ever had any crisis in which pregnancy/birth would worsen, people never hated/abused their children for things like their sex, etc., pregnancy tickled and never harmed anyone.
Yeah, so, never. ^_^

So basically everyone would be pro-life in a world where pregnancy is such that there's no situation where anyone could or would need or desire an abortion.

I would be pro-life if there was a 100% effective form of birth control that caused no side-effects, did not permanently effect your fertility, and was free and easily available to all women (including those under 1 cool . Oh, and we would have ways to prevent or completely cure all serious birth defects and handle any health crisis that would endanger the mother. I guess that means I will never be pro-life.
Sometimes I toy with the idea that I would be pro-life if it were possible to safely remove a fetus from the womb and transfer it somewhere else to gestate. I'm not sure though. There is an episode of Star Trek (yes I watch Star Trek, I can't help it I was raised by Trekkies) and in that episode a male crew member gets pregnant after participating in what he thought was a game with an alien but was actually how that species had sex. He obviously does not want to remain pregnant since they don't know how safe it is for a human male to carry this alien fetus. They also need to continue their journey and their ship really isn't equipped to raise an alien child. So there solution is to tranfer the fetus out of him and into someone else. It is completely safe, painless, and takes only second (yay fake technology!) If something like that existed, I might be more inclined to be pro-life.

wow, i we got some seriously good answers here! I was expecting silly things, like "when hell freezes over".
And I agree with Aiko, if that were possible then every woman that wants to have a baby but cant could just get the fetus star-trek transferred to her.
And there's no shame in being a trekkie... ::is beamed up::

What am I thinking? I'm never going to be pro-life. No one and no thing will make me believe a fetus has more rights than me.

I would be pro-life if..... it were a so-called "perfect" world, in which only the people who wished to become pregnant would, and always had all the proper resources to take care of the child.

I would be pro-life... once the term stops making me shudder in revulsion at the concept.
