Just to be clear - those that voted pro-choice -is this what you are supporting?

Pro-choice is the power a woman wants to murder her unborn child who is denied choice and the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Uh…excuuuuse me? Did you just say** that?** You did! You did!

Just how would you feel if feel if a man were able to abort your children despite your protests?? Ahmmmmmmm? Men are indeed affected by Abortion.

Note also - this not just a Male versus Female issue. It is an issue of Heaven… The Ten Commandments. Not the Ten Suggestions. Thou Shalt not Kill.

That’s why I qualified my statement with the word “directly.” Sure it impacts men, but you can’t possibly argue that abortion more DIRECTLY impacts men than it does women.

i would consider this a flawed poll, just because a lot of “prolifers” dont actually know what it means to be prolife. angela, many who call themselves prolife hold your same exact views–but you happen to know that youre prochoice.

Maybe the pro-choice people can answer this question for me. Are you guys also pro-right to die? It would seem the logic behind the pro-choice position would apply here as well would it not? I mean if you guys believe a woman has the right to kill someone else in her womb because its her body, wouldn’t it be common sense that she also have the right to kill herself since its her body?

Should our healthcare provide fast working poison free of charge to people who wish to exercise their “right to die”?

This is some mighty sexist thinking. I am very active in the Pro Life world. 80% of those who are very active are women.

Go to the March for Life, see the ratio of men to women.

But, that being said, to say that men are not affected directly is insensitive at best and cruel at worst.

Men are just as much a parent as mothers. Men lose their fatherhood and have ZERO say in if their child is killed. Can you imagine a world where when a baby is born, the father and the FATHER alone decides if this child will be permitted to live or die. We would call those people barbarians.

I pray that your heart will come to follow God’s Church, that all life is sacred and that the bias against fathers will be softened in your heart.

Wow. Your choice of diction is a bit strong, wouldn’t you agree? I just posted my views openly and honestly-- I wasn’t looking to be attacked like this. I regret even posting this in the first place. Many people have very politely disagreed, which I appreciate; I am open to seeing the other side an possibly switching over to it if I see fit. But this condescending tone very much turns me off. I am going to refrain from viewing or posting any more on this thread; I don’t come to Catholic Answers Forum to be bullied around.

Well we are talking about children dying… I try to use a little softer tone then I would in a thread on whether it was right for America to help step in to end the Holocaust.

A lot of people on this forum are going to disagree with me, but I said female, pro choice.

Now, I myself wouldn’t get an abortion, but I feel like it is bad for the government to regulate it. Why? If a young girl is raped, there needs to be a safe alternative for her. I know a lot of people would say,“Well, that’s still killing.” Which it is. That’s where I hit a bit of a stumbling block. It’s easy for males to say, “No abortion, period.” They don’t have to fear carrying the baby of someone who raped them. But as a female, we could be directly impacted by abortion laws.

The reason I posted this poll is because I want to see how many females are prolife. Honestly, that says more than males who are prolife; abortion laws wouldn’t affect men directly.

So murdering babies is okay in certain circumstances? What a sick, barbaric way of seeing life. Praying for your soul, you need a lot of prayers. 😦

I have not said anything until now but do you realize that you have been quite condescending toward pro-life men? You tried to rationalize it in a more than one way but you stated that men are not beings enough to understand that killing an innocent human being is wrong. That to me is not very polite either.

Did I beat you up on the school yard and steal your milk money? Did I threaten you with some sort of violence or try to intimidate you? No. Words matter. Before you accuse someone of bullying, please, understand what that word means.

I spoke clearly and directly. As someone who comes from a class targeted by abortion - in fact, I had a 90% chance of being one of those abortions - yes, I have very clear and direct opinions. I also have 2000 years of teaching by Holy Mother Church to back up those opinions. Again, I pray that you will find the side of Life.
 
Haha, the “other” category is pretty darn funny. 😃

Female, pro life.

You are correct in saying that a young girl does not need to raise a child conceived by rape.

The “safe alternative” for her in this case would be adoption. 👍

and you would rather she be forced to carry the pregnancy to term. 👍

Why not compound the trauma of rape with that of abortion? You can look up “psychological effects of abortion,” and while the statistics vary from source to source, the majority agree on one thing: abortion has a definite psychological effect on the mother making the decision.
