150. I call myself both, because I hold both opinions
Edited on Thu Apr-22-10 01:52 PM by demwing
I am pro choice because I believe that it is an individual's right to control their own body. This includes abortion, birth, all medical treatments, drug use, and suicide.

I am pro-life because I believe that life is a miracle, and should be preserved. War, murder, and capital punishment should be stopped at all cost, because they do not inherently violate an individual's right to control their own body.

Making Suicide and abortion illegal, on the other hand, does violate that right. And while I encourage people to make choices that sustain life, I am adamantly against the violation of said rights.

I don't see why I have to limit myself to a single viewpoint just because someone has not yet accepted that there are nuances to life.
