OK, I’m coming out of the closet. I’m pro-life.

58. I am pro-life, especially bacterial and fungal life. Humans? Whatever.

If we really mean to protect all life, this unreasonable bias towards multicellular creatures has to go.

The whole idea of substituting "life" for "abortion", which is a perfectly reasonable, neutral, well-understood word worldwide, is the grossest form of propaganda, and deserves no respect or obedience.

Personally, I am pro-abortion. I think they need to be safe, legal, and I'm not worried one bit about the quantity. Like much of Europe, I'd suggest that the most appropriate response is to simply quit being so emotional about it. It's a private medical decision between a woman and her doctor, of no significant consequence to anyone else. If the father doesn't have a relationship with the woman sufficient to gain entry into the child's life, then he screwed up and lost his chance. If you're going to get people pregnant who don't want your babies, whether it's carelessness, stupidity, or maliciousness, you don't really get to tell them they have to have your baby. That's just virulently stupid.
