Not to get off track, but in one of your earlier posts you mentioned soilent green. I thought you were making fun of me, but then I thought about how to make this a valuabe process. Not so much soilent green, but we could harvest the orgrans out of the people after they are terminated or right before.. however it works best.

Aha, you are being too serious for this thread. The OP is making a joke here.
I know many people who are Pro-Choice (and it is about the right to choose what you do with your own body), and none of them would ever agree to any of the BS that the OP writes. The OP is an ass who is obviously an Anti-Choice person (pro-life is really a misnomer, as it is all about enforcing their own morals on everyone else), who is trying to make Pro Choice people sound bizarre and inhumane.
The bottom line is this, one either believes that an individual has the god-given right to decide the fate of their own body, or that once in society, an individual has subrogated that specific right to the overall prevailing mores of the society.
If a person decides for whatever reason that they can not continue with a pregnancy, then that decision should be between them and their conscience. Its a tough decision, and one that is rarely made without deep regret and sadness.
Yet it is nearly always the right decision for that person. Actually if you really think about it in existential terms, it is sort of a self-actualizing decision. Having an abortion is the right decision when that decision is made; and going through with a pregnancy is the right decision when that decision is made.
I used to be against abortion, until I dated a marvelous woman who worked women's health issues and rights, and had my eyes opened. I had no idea of the sheer numbers of women that were being forced to bear children as a result of incest, rape, imprisionment, etc. But when so many men in even the most developed countries still consider women as a sort of marital chattel, then what can one really expect? Its just that I didn't know.
Now, whenever I hear one of the neo-con VIPs slamming the concept of choice I can only smirk at the thought of how quick they would change their thoughts if one of their own children came up pregnant with a child from some nice black boy, chicano, or asian boy from the bad side of town. And I woulld add, I would really love to see a study of the number of adopted black children in home of neocon white families?... Well I guess there is Angelina Jolie and Madonna... oh that's right they're liberals - never mind.

I dont see what is wrong with me wanting to expand pro-choice past a persons body and to extend it to their homes. Do you know how much stress some people are under because of certain family members? I am just trying to show some compassion to those folks as well.
I guess your idea of where CHOICE ends is the right one and we shouldnt even be able to discuss anything that would conflict with your view of how the world should be.
Typical liberal thinking at its best.

So you are going to take his word over mine that I have changed my view to pro-choice? On what grounds?

Heh. The poster I was responding to said you WEREN'T Pro-Choice, but rather ANIT-Choice, trying to point out the lack of a line to be drawn.
Well I have my line drawn at first breath.
And I took that poster's word because it made far more sense than believing your OP.

So we are supposed to take your word for it that humans even have a soul?
And we are also to take your interpretation of some book that this soul only enters the body on first breath?
So you are the authority on where life begins and ends?
So its alright for you to have an abortion because it was inconvenient but its not alright for me to propose that we extend the same rights you used to justify your actions to others?
And if my family wanted to have me terminated then I guess I would have no choice.
