    Yeah, I'm pro-choice AND pro-abortion.

    I think every woman should have one, whether they want it or not.

    I don't really think that anyone in their right mind is 'pro-abortion' but rather have an acceptance of it (like many medical interventions)
    Nailed it.

    really :? and women having multiple abortions this is due to medical intervention?
    Come on you must admit there are people who are pro abortion.
    Pro choice is about the right to make a choice only. Many pro choice work to make other
    options the choice chosen. Then there are others who do not and abortion is the one
    and only solution considered because it's safe, convenient, quick and now relatively low cost.

    There are VERY few women who use abortion as a form of birth control.... Have you ever had an abortion??? It's hardly pleasant! A tiny percentage of women choose to go through that rather than using birth control more responsibly after the first time. It is an absolute myth that abortion is used as a form of birth control at any level that is meaningful to the discussion.

    I saw 3 sloths while I was in Costa Rica.
    I was swimming in a desolate area when a local came up to me and tried to tell me there was a sloth coming down a palm tree near the beach. We watched for 45 minutes as a sloth descended to the bottom of the tree, looked us straight in the eye, still hugging the tree, and took a big old poop. Then he went back up the tree. It was magnificent. But I wondered why he didn't just poop up from the treetops and let it fall where ever.


    is that where you did the zip line?

    Yup, we did the zipline near A volcano - Arenal. but we saw a sloth in a tree there too.:)
    The beach with the pooping sloth was near Miguel Antonio on the west coast.

    You're goin to Belize? In Costa rica, most people can speak English too. My Spanish isnt too good, and we got by easily... but I didnt even attempt to buy any drugs.

    Yes I have had an abortion and remember how uncomfortable even after 41 years.
    I remember the emotional turmoil that followed even more so and will always remember
    the guilt to my dying day.

    There are women who do have multiple abortions. But more importantly in my post
    and the point being made there are pro choice people who work
    towards less abortion and more options for women. These people are pro choice.
    Pro abortion people are not actively seeking to do so, nor are the women who find
    themselves in need of abortions. Abortions are still a solution of choice for the reasons
    mentioned. Not finding fault with that just clarifying pro choice and pro abortion,
    as I see it.

    What do you do to actively work to promote less abortion and still remain pro-choice? Saying that anyone who has an abortion is "pro-abortion" doesn't seem very pro-choice to me...

    Actively seeking to promote one outcome in whichever way, whether by 'counseling', trying to make a woman change her mind, looking at her moral values, judging her, showing graphic pictures, scare tactics, 'persuasion', or whatever is not 'pro-choice'. It is working towards an agenda which is not an un-biased 'choice' but a well defined outcome. It is not respecting the woman's right to make a free, informed decision.

    Like saying I'm fine with gay marriage because in the end it's their choice, but I will actively seek to put spanners in the wheels, I will actively challenge this, to modify the outcome that suits my values and ethics.
