I'm not sure I can do that. It's a conviction that comes from respecting the life of the unborn. Either you believe a fertilized egg is a life or not. If you believe it's a life, then you have to be pro-life as one of the Ten Commandments is Thou shalt not kill. So there you go. It's as easy as that.
Are you pregnant? Contemplating abortion?
If you are caught in this situation, I want you to know you are not the only one. I became a Christian after I met my husband. But I still did not understand all of God's ways. I got pregnant. The doctor offered me an abortion.
I spent the weekend thinking about it. Then I felt the baby kicking. Only 3 1/2 months. I realized that it was a human being. I knew that I could not kill the child, whether the father married me or not.
Keeping the baby turned out to be one of the best things I have ever done. He was smart, musical, athletic and loving. He grew up to be an amazing man and the father of 2 of my grandchildren.
An unborn baby is a human being. A human being with the right to life. If your circumstances cannot handle having a baby (I was in university when I had my baby, and continued to get high marks, including a semester of student teaching while pregnant, after having my appendix out in the 4th month of pregnancy!) then please consider adoption. The wait lists are forever to adopt a child, and every child is wanted.
Please PM me if you want to talk about this. God bless!

well you admit that the baby is indeed a living human by saying "life" and "choice" just avoids the truth. If a woman is left alone chances are good that 9 months later a healthy productive US citizen will emerge. Then he has all the rights that you do and murder is no longer a viable option. If you don't want the child give him up for adoption, a healthy baby will get adopted fast and plenty of people are waiting for such a gift.
The only pro choice argument they can make is that it is your right to decide if you want to be a host for the child or not... The child cannot live without that host. IMO abortion is immoral, it is killing a human being for nothing, no gain only loss.

I just thought I'd point out that being 'pro-life' isn't just about believing that abortion or infanticide is wrong. Pro life means a commitment to life at any stage. For example, some people may be against abortion but may not have an issue with euthanasia of a severely impaired person, or a very elderly person. Being pro life is a commitment to support life at every stage (or even the possibility of life) because life itself is sacred. Being pro life means believing in the sanctity of human life; all human life, including that of unborn babies, elderly people, people with impairments, people who have committed abhorrent crimes, and so on.
People often make an argument about end of life issues with regard to quality of life but when you are pro life, sanctity of life trumps the quality of life argument. We are not meant to qualify some lives worth living and some not. Of course it's horribly sad to see people suffering but that doesn't mean we have a right to decide to end someone's life. Stand in solidarity with people who suffer, share the burden. We ought to rally behind life in every opportunity we can.
If anyone is interested in reading/learning more about the 'sanctity of life' I'd recommend researching the work of Dr.Wolf Wolfensberger on this issue. He is quite morally coherent and absolute in his thinking about 'life' issues. I really love these kinds of discussions and even attended a workshop of his on the sanctity of human life. It was a profound learning experience for me.

This topic is 100% subjective, to say someone is a troll for having a different opinion is wrong. Women have the right to get pregnant or not, contraceptive is the best option of course. Plenty of young women do not want to become pregnant trying to seek a masters right before they are going to get the big job, husband and house. If I was in those shoes I would probably get an abortion too! I know that is incredibly selfish but if the father is not wanting to become a father, the mother isn't wanting to become a mother and it will directly interfere with her entire future it could be the best option...
This is why awareness about STDs and teen pregnancy is so big, plenty of people under 20 are on drugs for the rest of their lives because they now have an STD, not only will this effect getting a mate but it could shorten their life or worse.
Proper sexual education could prevent all abortions except a few serious medical related cases and prevent nearly all STD cases. I'm sure glad I had a good sex ed class in grade school. I did not play the dating game and I enjoyed life while other kids were living nightmares dating and getting girls pregnant. Now I have a nice house, a wife and a child and income. Sex ed is key to a healthy future for our youth.
