I think its sad now that when I think of pro-life I think of people who murder doctors. Hardly pro-life is it.

DINGDINGDINGDING tell him what he's won, Bob!
I love life and I love babies. To be honest, the thought of an abortion and the inherent irresponsibility that figures into the decision to get one in most cases turns my stomach. It's people making stupid decisions, and then following up their stupid decisions with a terrible solution to their problems, that's what most abortions end up being.
But of course, you have the isolated cases where a woman is assaulted and impregnated, and other rare exceptions. I had a friend in college that was raped while on vacation and became pregnant, and she went and got an abortion. And as you can imagine, my support for her and her situation was unwavering because of the absolute vileness of circumstances. To be pro-life politically would mean to usurp her choice to abort a pregnancy which was created out of evil means, and that's not an option as far as I'm concerned.
But on a more philosophical and sociological slant... it's kind of hard for me to be pro-life when I see case after case of the stupidest people popping out kid after kid. It's garbage genes coming together, and once the baby is born it's going to be garbage food, garbage education, garbage nurturing, all offered generally in garbage surroundings. So it's no surprise that once baby grows up they generally turn out to be a piece of garbage. And many of the checkpoints that the human race had to go through in centuries/millenniums past are now gone. Due to technology, medicine and other factors, the weak are now surviving along with the strong, and their crap genes are spreading and dumbing everyone down. And as much as I hate to say it, I believe that abortion is one way that the spreading of bad genetics is getting slowed down.
Sorry, I've just been on a big kick lately about de-evolution.
