You can be pro-choice and anti-abortion, if you are illogical.

Why would you be against abortion, if you don't think it's killing a baby? What possible argument could you have to be against a woman doing what she wanted to with parts of her own body?

But if you think abortion is the killing of a baby, and therefore oppose it, how could you possibly be for allowing women to kill babies? It's one thing to be pro-choice on something like cigarettes, where you are just letting people kill themselves if they want.

But nowhere else does personal liberty allow someone to hurt someone else, much less kill them.

Being pro-choice and pro-abortion at least is consistant, but calls into question one's ability to understand what life is. I would not trust a person who was pro-abortion NOT to end up being for euthanasia or even killing babies right after they were born, or terminating brain-damaged people.

I disagree. Not every abortion-hater thinks that abortion is murder. But they all think that it is morally wrong. However, that is not sufficient to say that abortion should be outlawed. I think that hunting is morally wrong. Yet I don't favor prohibiting it.
