A lot of the trouble is in the labeling - how could "pro-life" ever be bad, if all you look at is the label? And how could a baby be only a choice, and not a life? The issue is much more complex than the labels.
Basically, though I don't know that I could ever choose, myself, to have an abortion unless the situation were dire (in the case of a Trisomy 18 baby, for example) and even then I'm not sure, I wouldn't know what I would do until I were faced with it ...
Even so, I resent like hell the idea that any part of my government thinks it can legislate that situation. That people out there think that they can tell me what is right and what is wrong for me under all circumstances regarding my reproductive choices.
I don't *care* what people think in their own heads. What I care about is what they try to pass as laws.
