Well, at least your corrections make it a complete sentence, but there's still no connection to dead people. You even added the word "alive" to emphasize what I had already assumed from your fragmented sentence that you're talking about live people ...who are "here".

And I answered your question with an honest answer that I'm sure threw you because you folks are so used to assuming pro-choice means pro-abortion. So when I mentioned myself and my two kids being born to pro-choice mothers, well that kinda screws it up doesn't it?

What are you talking about? That's a horrible rationalization! Where's the reason?

You gotta have the reason or it's not a rationalization.

Pro-choice is helping to minimize the suffering of the unborn by...

Preventing the situation that prohibition would create where the same number of unwanted pregnancies occur because it's not illegal to GET pregnant, it's illegal to UNGET pregnant. Therefore...

* Of those unwanted pregnancies (due to the compliance of the mothers) some number will carry through to birth resulting in a wave of inconvenient babies.

* Other unwanted pregnancies will be terminated illegally. Due to the delays typical in illegal activity, most of them will be late-term or even full-term which we know means more suffering for the fetus.

Continuing with the scenario... without any regulation there is no guarantee that these abortions won't kill both the baby and the mother. And no one will even know because illegal activities don't get recorded.

I won't make assumptions about the numbers but I think it's safe to say that the notion that any significant number of women get pregnant simply because they know they can get an abortion is retarded. Even the idiots that get pregnant repeatedly aren't doing it for that reason - they're just idiots that keep getting pregnant. So, I think it's safe to say there won't be any significant decrease in unwanted pregnancies.

I won't make assumptions about how many mothers will choose which path either, but I'm pretty certain that the number of illegal abortions will be significant and whatever that number is - that would be the number of unborn babies saved from greater suffering by the humanists on the pro-choice side.

...As the religious fanatics snarl and howl, waving their crosses and scriptures in thunderous persecution.

Yes, but then we can get into the tedious conversation of what it means to be a Christian and I'm not going to do that but I will simply tell you, I was brought up Catholic, which means the belief in Christ is is deeply in-bedded in my conditioning and core beliefs but I have evolved from those restrictions and conformations and I would imagine, from reading your posts it would be quite different from how you define being a Christian as I don't follow any organized Church nor the indoctrination that goes along with it.

Yes, I believe, Jesus Christ was the son of God, (whatever God is, him being a father is a metaphor and not literal) and we are all children of God. I believe in the fundamentals teachings of JC of love and compassion and not the many edited versions of scriptures from a book written by an accumulation of men in the mindset of thousands of years ago.

Being a Christian for me, is not about keeping rules and regulations, performing rituals, or even going to church. It's a about the relationship I personally have with spirit.

I was married to a Jew for thirty two years and that opened my mind quite a bit, then not to mention the continued readings on my own, but this thread is not about me nor religion so let us not deviate Rose.
