1. “The government would be better served by removing the massive regulations on businesses than wasting time on the pro choice/pro life question. The less government involvement, the better.”

2. “The Right to Life isn’t about “regulation”.

Excellent posts. You opened up a can of worms. My best guess is that:
Number 1. (get off my case) is from a libertarian.
Number 2. (human life is sacred) is a from a conservative

No sarcasm intended. I’m a former libertarian who slid into conservatism in his old age. Libertarians and conservatives both believe in individual freedom and the right to pursue their own happiness. I guess libertarians are more absolutist about keeping government out of their bedroom. But I think that the Christian regard for the absolute sacredness of human life is responsible for the idea that there are some things that the government must never be accorded the power do to its constituents (natural rights, limited government).
