Are You Pro Life

One can be personally pro-life, but also believe that the government should not interfere in decisions between a doctor and patient. My wife is ardently pro-life, but also ardently antigovernment intervention.

There's a large percentage of Pro-Choice advocates who have NEVER had an abortion. A great deal of them have in fact chosen life.

I'm also rather sure there's a surprisingly large percentage of Pro-life advocates who have had abortions.

Mic drop, as in, too stupid to hold onto the mic while spouting a rant full of non sequitur.

So where do you fall under the pro-life hypocrisy spectrum?

Nowhere. It doesn't exist. Anyway, I'm pro-abortion, but as a rational person I also recognize that perhaps the best way to preserve the rights of women to have abortions 99.9% of the time is to compromise on the other 0.1%.

None of that, however, makes the rant in the OP any less nonsensical.
 
This is just my take on this issue, but I always believed there should be:

Pro choice Or Anti-choice.

Pro Life can be considered under the former but a requirement under the latter.

You're correct, none of that answers to the animosity you seem to carry for the OP's rant.

Do you not care for pre-natal care for women; Head Start....etc. Or rather was it the minority focus which set you off?

Those things have nothing to do with abortion. Saying it should be illegal to kill something has nothing to do with whether the government has an obligation to feed it and care for it.

Though it has everything to do with valuing life i.e. pro-life.
If not "from womb to tomb", being pro-life is just bullsh!t pretense.

One can value life without taking the position that it is the responsibility of the government to provide it to everyone in every case.

"Pro-life" is no less "bullshit" than "pro-choice." People who label themselves "pro-choice" are simply "pro-abortion" (like I am happy to say about myself). These same people are against all kinds of other "choices."

Or one may vote against government programs that improve the life of the mother and child, which lifers require her to birth.

Pro-choice is fairly straightforward. It consist of giving women the liberty of........a choice 🤔 regarding abortion or not.

Not much room for bullsh!t.

If you don't care about the mess or who finds you I'm sure there are knives available throughout Sweden.

Key words: "government programs."

I see. So for "pro-choice" the context is limited to "abortion or not," but for pro-life, it isn't limited to "abortion or not," even though that's how the only context in which the term is used.

How convenient.

Trigger words, apparently.
What of them?

BINGO!
Woe the burden the poor pro-lifer must suffer, lest defending that little incipient paragon of virtue - boisterously proclaimed as "life" - becomes exposed as merely self-righteous politicking. 😫
