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.

Well, abortion laws impact the unborn child most directly–in a positive way. With abortion legal in some way shape or form, it is never a safe alternative for everybody involved. How is it safe for the child? I think you need to take a step back and look at how much of a problem abortions are and how much harm murder does. With that said, there should be more support for people struggling with what you described as a situation, but killing the child shouldn’t be the “final solution”.

Hmmm,have you ever asked the father of an aborted baby ,how he was impacted by this decision? Abortion hurts everyone involved.The nacent life is the most obvious and greatest concern,however not the only one

IF you went to the Walk for Life 2012 West Coast you probably would have noticed that there appears to have been more women than men there, that’s more than just saying you’re pro-life, that’s putting your money where your mouth is. There probably would have been more if a lot of mothers weren’t busy celebrating life by taking care of their children.

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.

Who here can guarantee conception? Rape babies are no more of an accident than babies’ people intend to have. Life is willed by God and He alone decides when we are conceived. Abortion is murder and will always be murder regardless of who approves it or how many approve it.

Is it possible to be Authentically Catholic and be Pro - Choice? Methinks not.

well, it is the internet. on the internet, girls do not exist. anyone you think is a girl is actually a guy pretending to be a girl. this has been in the internet handbook since the beginning. common knowledge.
cant be prochoice and catholic? i wish the church would just excommunicate all the “false” catholics you guys like to wag your fingers at. that way, you guys would get a sense of how few of you there actually are… lol
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.

An …interesting … characterization… Are you suggesting that those in error be not remonstrated with? Just how would that help on the final day?

Excommunication isn’t a “de-Catholicizing”. It’s just a barring from the Sacraments. Excommunicated Catholics are still Catholics. They are still supposed to attend Mass, though they can’t take the Eucharist.
“De-Catholicizing” is actually impossible to do. If you are baptized Catholic, you are a Catholic. You may be a Catholic who only attends on the holidays. You may be a Catholic who disagrees with what the Church teaches. You may be a Catholic in a state of grave sin (which can’t really be adjudged by man, only by God). You may be a Catholic who chooses to turn away completely and reject the Church, its doctrines, and God himself…but you’re still a Catholic.
I am of the firm belief that there are very few “bad” or “false” (or whatever you want to call them) Catholics. There are, however, a whole lot of Catholics who haven’t been adequately educated on both what the Church teaches and why the Church teaches it. It’s easy to go against your faith when you don’t have a deep understanding of it.

if being baptized means youre a catholic, and “de-Catholicizing” is impossible, then there must be no such thing as a false catholic. so then there are prochoice catholics, atheist catholics, etc.

Now, I myself wouldn’t own a slave, but, I feel like it is bad for the government to regulate it.
Now, I myself wouldn’t rape someone, but, I feel like it is bad for the government to regulate it.
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.
