Easy. If you oppose abortion on the ground that "human life should be valued either from conception or implantation until natural death" (a general Christian style pro-life belief), then you should oppose death penalty and war conflicts on the same ground. If you do not, then your beliefs are not based on value of human life, and it will be honest to tell it straight that you're just anti-choice. Unless you could quote me saying "life is life - unless it's an unborn baby" I would ask you to stop pretending you're arguing with me, while in fact you're arguing with yourself. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Of course! 'Pro-choice' is explicitly referred to abortion only. But if you call yourself 'pro-life' under the "protect the sacred human life" slogan, you're already getting out of scope of just abortion, and must address other issues which affect the "sacred human life", such as death penalty. And if your 'pro-life' position only addresses abortion, this means you're really just anti-choice, and only call yourself 'pro-life' for marketing purposes. What exactly has a comatose person on life support with pro-choice, anti-choice or pro-life, assuming you're not talking about euthanasia? * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Your refusal to explain first how those "two issues" related in any way, so we could see if there is anything to draw at all, shows that you are being deliberately obtuse. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Obama to stake political prestige on passing US climate bill

From Guardian's Terms of Service: "You must not reproduce any part of guardian.co.uk or the material or transmit it to or store it in any other website or disseminate any part of the material in any other form, unless we have indicated that you may do so." You seem to be kinda a repeated criminal :D * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. * -
I wonder if you understand that there is a difference between supporting a woman right for an abortion if she wants to (that's what pro-choice is), and forcing the women to do abortion (that's what the anti-choice people try to post as opposition to their movement, but which is not true in any way)? Because if you do, your reply makes no sense at all. Saying that a person has a choice what to do with their body has nothing common with decrying capital punishment. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Yes, regarding the subject. I do not expect every "pro-life" person to be vegetarian either, but having someone claiming to be "pro-life" but supporting death penalty sounds pretty hypocritical to me. The man has the most important choice - who to have unprotected sex with. Viable fetus has no choices, but it can't be pro-choice either. You do vote, don't you? You could run for an office and get elected, couldn't you? * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Doesn't really matter. You could have only one death penalty (or life sentence) anyway. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

"Pro-life" is not just about abortion. For example, I found it really amusing when someone who claims to be so-called "pro-life" supports death penalty or military conflicts like recent wars where a lot of people suffer. Similar thing when a so-called "pro-life" person is not a foster parent - which means to me they do not want to put their money where their mouth is. That's why I'm saying that if you're just against abortion - you're anti-choice, and not pro-life in any way. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Couple of questions for you. - Do you have your own personal opinion, or you just merged it with alternet? - Do you have written permission to reproduce alternet content, as its reproducing is prohibited by alternet ToS (scroll down the page), and therefore if you do not have it, your action violates the copyright law? * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

For varying values of "people". Sure, swallowing is cannibalism :P * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

60k people didn't die from those 60k abortions either. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Yes, if your world is only black and white, you'd probably have to. So what? This meant 60,000 females wanted to have abortion. Someone would have to do it. Not so much difference with a surgeon who performed at least 60,000 amputations (yes, CUTTING ARMS AND LEGS OFF LIVE PEOPLE INCLUDING OLD AND CHILDREN WITH A HACKSAW!!! SCARY!!!) * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

No, you're very much anti-choice at all stages. There is no 'pro-life', you're not offering to take care of her child. You're just denying her choice. Even if they both would likely to die as a result? Anyway, this is kind of statement easy to made when you're NOT in this position. Things look much different when you're really are. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

I really wonder why some people call it "pro-life" while in fact it is just "anti-choice". Actually at least some of those "pro-life" seems to have no problem with murder themselves - as long as it's not unborn children. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Then why it should be available "without regard to any provision of law, regulation, rule, or policy restricting such access"? Sounds quite harsh to me. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

There are some artifacts still left - for example, you cannot legally marry in Israel if you or your fiancée are not Jewish, but Israel recognizes marriages performed in other countries so it's not a big problem. Still there are some of religion-related ugliness which is the reason why a lot of Jews don't want to live there. Of course, comparing to almost everything around, it's a pretty Western country :) * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Everything my children took so far from the system - police, parks, roads, education, military, etc - was paid with my and my wife tax dollars. This, I believe, is the case for most of us. Well, we all can tell what the value of this woman HAS to the economy. You, of course, could speculate about what her value COULD be, but unless you can prove your point, it will still be just speculations. I wonder how many homeless children are you hosting in your home. Not just because you think of children - but perhaps one of them will end up a multi-billionaire, so it makes a lot of sense, right? And I'm 100% with Lawrocket. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Not to mention it's against Alternet's own terms of service which prohibit reproduction unless he has a written permission (which I somehow doubt). * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Why? You keep money there? And so? What is your point? By the way, the alternet.org website has a notice at bottom, which says that reproduction of material from any AlterNet pages without written permission is strictly prohibited. You're reproducing their content pretty heavily here. Do you have such written permission? * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

Everyone is pro-life. The people you're probably referring to are anti-choice. It has nothing to do with life. * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *

You guys need to get rid of your Queen and prime minister, as it's so outdated, and switch to something more modern. Once your political system grows up, then we could talk :P * Don't pray for me if you wanna help - just send me a check. *
