What Is The Meaning Of Pro-life?

[MrsFrozen]

Thanks for your votes and responses.

[frozencell]

You're welcome..... I love you.

Your first choice gives me a wording problem so I voted other. Removal of a tubal pregnancy is not an abortion, it is removing a tube.

Ohhh, I see what you mean. I should have worded it differently. I don't think I can do that now. I'm sorry.

I also chose others due to the both the wording of the first one and because I was also counting pro-life as being against the death penalty.

[cmotherofpirl]

Prolife is not the same as anti-death penalty.

Other.

And in all aspects of life, not just abortion.

You can still support the death-penalty and be pro-life.

Ditto to what cmom said, removing a tube is not an abortion.

Guess I should have reworded it. I meant more what you said, about all aspects of life. For me personally, I include anti-death penalty, but that's a personal belief of mine.

Abortion isn't allowed in tubal pregnancies. The tube must be removed, which is an indirect abortion, but we always must be clear to specify that so we don't give people the impression that removing the child from the tube is moral.

Oh no...you say "yunz," too? That word makes me want to consider "y'all."

[Kosh]

I'm with a re-worded 1.

Yunz is actually a second-person plural derived from the Irish ancestors.

Pro-life means to me being against the deliberate taking of any [i]innocent[/i] human life - from conception to natural death. Thus it includes not only being against abortion, but also against any kind of human euthanasia or "mercy killing."

However, the death penalty may be legitimately applied, as can killing in a a just war, or in defense of self or others.
