Pro life is not anti-woman,and it's not about making women 'breeders'. It's about an innocent new life, that deserves the chance to live and grow. Not be killed without being given a chance.

I apologize,that was my mistake

No need to apologize. I should have made it clear the first time.

There are so many questions and so many scenarios to consider but the words that should develop this topic are totally missing from the thread.

I think it would be interesting to continue this discussion by letting it develop around some of the words that might bring some the broader questions and more defined scenarios into retrospect.

Privacy

Responsibility

Human rights

Euthanasia

I’m sure we will encounter some broad associations between the words pro-choice and pro-life and the words above but that’s ok because it will get us all thinking (hopefully) about some things we might not have considered before.

When I think of the words above as being assigned to one of the “Pro” categories, I imagine a lot of scenarios. I’ll provide one now to get it started and I hope to see others making their own associations.

Under the category Pro-life, I think of euthanasia because I happen to believe that the quality of life is a ‘self-defined’ concept. I have known people who would choose to die (and did) rather than having a leg or an arm cut off. I knew another person who became completely paralyzed from the neck down and still believed she could have a quality of life that was acceptable to her. I have watched loved ones suffer long-term from incurable diseases because we fail to accept that life cannot fully be defined without transformation and ending. And perhaps what’s more important is that we fail to allow individuals to self-define when quality-of-life is more important than quantity.

So when I consider euthanasia regarding others I am being Pro-life because it’s about letting others take control of their own life, it’s about making sure that everyone is granted that dignity.

NOW, if I reverse the scenario and it’s me who faces a long and debilitating end, I am not considering Pro-life rather I am thinking Pro-choice, because I believe that I should have that choice for myself as I would grant it to others.

Any other ideas about other words or concepts or about the one I’ve written as an example?
