This is a simple question in which I want to gain insight. At least in terms of the opinions of the FreeRepublic population.
I'll tabulate the responses.
So what are you? Pro-Life or Pro-Abortion.

Kind of a dumb poll. Why would you expect to find more than a handful of Pro-Abortionists on this forum? I can not even recall anyone defending abortions on this forum. While very few people on this forum support abortion on demand up to the 40th week of pregnancy (which would be the "100% pro-choice" view) most here would not forbid rape victims from taking a "morning after" pill (which would be the "100% pro-life" view). While viewpoints here would tend to be closer to those of the pro-life side than those of the general public, I would be very surprised if the majority of people here are "100%" pro-life.
On the other hand, given that the legal status quo is about 95% of the way toward the "pro-choice" side (there are a few restrictive laws like parental notification in some states, but the status quo is essentially abortion-on-demand), I think there would probably be a 90%+ consensus that things should move in a pro-life direction even if not everyone agrees exactly how far.

Actually, you have nothing to worry about. Planned Parenthood is doing a fine job of working "to Create a Race of Thoroughbreds" (Masthead, Birth Control Review, December 1921). Those "weeds" you don't want around are being taking care of. Well over 70% of abortion clinics are located in minority neighborhoods. Nothing to fear. Donate money so they can hurry up and get the job done. Your superior Aryan race has a much greater chance of surviving if you would donate more money to Planned Parenthood. :) There is a certain irony to the fact that the Democrats are trying to destroy their future voting base while the Republicans are trying to preserve the Democrats' future voting base. I wish the Republicans who are accused of being pro-life for "political reasons" would point out that if they were only interested in politics the status quo on abortion would actually benefit them.

Pro-life, anti-murder . From conception to death of old age.
Pro-death penality also. ooo, that is another issue.

To: Partisan Hack
Only future liberals are aborted. Therefore, I'm pro-abortion.Incorrect. Many liberals have children who wind up being pro-life.
To: FreedomFriend
Pro-life, 100%, from conception.

Abortion is murder. I'm PRO Death Penalty for abortionists and the women who hire them. In my book, that makes me PRO-LIFE.

That's correct and all polls back up that. Over 90% favor a ban on partial birth abortion. If you define Pro-life as against abortion except in the case of the life of the mother or rape, you would find over two-thirds of the people are pro-life. It's only when you define Pro-life in the most extreme terms (as many polls do) do they become the minority.

Thank you, Khepera. That is disturbing and sobering, but a necessary jolt. All of America should see what you posted.
Equally sobering info may be found here and simple brilliance on the subject here.

When we, as a country, deliberately murder the most defenseless of God's creations, we have no right to ask for His protection. I am vehemently pro-life.
