I wasn't going to post about this...
Mostly because I can't be bothered to check out the quotes myself, but then this person's comment bothered me.
Restrict is such a strong word. His stance however is not a ban on ALL abortions. His stance allows it in the extreme cases such as rape and incest. These quotes I think have been taken out of context.
I know alot of people who might be pro life but if you want it in these extreme cases then you would have to technically be pro choice (like myself). Abortion CANNOT be oversimplified by looking at quotations.
Because he isn't against abortion in the extreme cases of rape, incest, and (one hopes) maternal health, that makes him pro-choice? By that measure, virtually everyone is! I mean, really, is there anybody who accepts the definition of "allowing any abortions makes one pro-choice"? How many people in this country honestly are against all abortion? Maybe it's just me, but I suspect that the commenter is the one trying to oversimplify things, not the original poster. *screams incoherantly*
Okay. I'm done now.
And I'm pro-life because, while I support a woman's right to choose, I am against the death penalty, and 50% apparently ain't half bad
