Question

Why do some religious folks equate pro choice to pro abortion?

Answer 1

Well basically you are saying, that you are going to stand by and allow a fellow human being be murdered on the grounds that the fellow human being happens to be inside someones body.  Because you think that the person who is pregnant should be allowed to make the choice of what to do with their body, but the person inside that body doesn't get to have a choice at all.

For evil to win, all mankind has to do is, nothing.

Answer 2

For some unknown reason they think pro choicers have abortions often and push them on weaker people.  Little do they know, we just aren't so arrogant as to think we can make that moral and personal decision for the world.  

Answer 3

I am a religious folk who does not. I believe that God is pro-choice. He has given us free will. He could stop an abortion at any time but he chooses to allow us to make our own mistakes. Since HE is pro-choice, I am too. I would never have one because like God, I do not approve of it for myself but who am I to take away the choice that God gave someone else?

  Not only the religious who are pro-life think that pro-choice means you are having a party every time someone has an abortion. I know a few non religious people who think the same way. They don't' realize there are really three sides to every coin. (front, back, and edge) The edge may be small but that is the group that is actually pro-abortion.

Answer 4

A lot of fanatics think if you're a pro choice woman, you must abort all you're babies.  

Answer 5

Pro-choice and pro-abortion are the same no matter how you say it.

Answer 6

that's an excellent question! people think that since we are pro-choice, we encourage people to have abortions. THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!!! it simply means that we believe women should be able to choose for themselves and have a say so in their own life

Answer 7

Bigotry

Answer 8

Because they figure if you weren't pro abortion then you wouldn't need to have a choice involving abortion.

Answer 9

Isn't it the same thing? When you're talking about being pro-choice it means that you're for letting a woman get an abortion. I'm not religious at all, I'm an atheist but I can see the bullshit in this statement. Why is it that pro-choicers never want people to say they're pro-abortion? Does the word abortion bother you that much? If so, why? It is just a simple medical procedure then it shouldn't bother you at all being affiliated with the name. Unless, you have some doubt about it and you really do not like abortion because you know it kills a life.

Answer 10

If you are pro choice means that you believe it is ok for a woman to get an abortion.

Answer 11

Because that particular set likes to demonize anything that isn't of their exact view.

What they don't get is that the majority of pro-choice people would probably never do such a thing. Many probably don't even approve of it either. But people remain pro-choice simply because they feel it isn't their place to dictate the lives of total strangers they will never even know exist.

Answer 12

because its all the same in thier eyes

Answer 13

Choice as in "I want to get rid of this pest"?

Answer 14

,,,Pro-choice is the buzz words the left has for what is pro-abortion, pro-murder, putting to death a growing human being who has every right to live.

...Aren't you glad your mother chose life?

...It is a pathetic, pitiful, and depraved thing to view children as things that can be discarded, if I so choose, because I don't want to raise my child - it is much easier to kill one, than to responsibly rear a child to adulthood.  It takes no character at all to put a helpless, unborn child to death.

...May God have mercy on us and change our hearts, so we can understand and protect all children, born and unborn.

Answer 15

B/C It's the same thing .Pro choice is 1 have the baby put it up for adoption,2 Keep the baby and take care of it , 3 have an abortion meaning kill an unborn child... Pro life is the same as the first two but, never killing an un born child.....bd

Answer 16

Because when a woman 'chooses' to keep her baby, she suddenly stops being pro-choice and is bashed as a pro-lifer.

Answer 17

Because it brings the same results....dead baby.

Answer 18

I think its because they don't want people to even have abortion as even an option. But Im guessing cause im pro choice and don't understand why other ppl believe they can make decisions for every woman in this country.  

Answer 19

   I am pro choice. If a woman wants to abort, after the baby is delivered. The woman should be allowed to abort her own live. But that is a pro choice as i will ever be. Murder is murder and the murder of a pre birth child is no different then killing a one month old child. Both are dependant on there mother for protection, food and care. So pro choice is nothing but self-centeredness on the part of the woman. It is also in most cases the product of Sin on the part of the mothers. So instead of living with the results of sin, they seek to spill the blood of the unborn to cover there shame. And tell you how debased a people can become when in sin.

Answer 20

Because to them if you don't oppose completely a woman's right to control her reproductive organs that means you desire wholesale slaughter of every infant ever conceived, preferably by the most painful means possible.  

Answer 21

Because they don't know the difference.

Pro-Choice allows the woman any choice she sees fit-- whether that be abortion, adoption or neither.

Pro-Abortion is purely for aborting every single unplanned child, whereas pro-choice also support adoption -and- keeping the child.

Answer 22

If someone provided the gun to a person they knew was going to use it for murder then they are a co conspirator.

Those that pave the way for abortion to be legal are assisting in abortion just as much.

I truly despise abortion, cant you tell?

Abortion is NOT a religious issue!

Answer 23

Can I answer your question with a question?  Wouldn't a much better solution to this be birth control?  I am pro-choice but having said that I would never want an abortion.  It must be a horrible thing to go through.  How guilty do you feel afterwards?  I think we need to make birth control readily available and lessen the possibility for abortion.  Regardless, funny how a woman's issue is always decided my men.

Answer 24

Yeah.

There are some people in this world who could use a lecture from my creative writing professor regarding clarity.
