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.

[Rightly Biased]

I was knit together in my mothers womb,Iwas life at conception no way around it and Guess What? So were You!
aren't you glad you weren't aborted!..........
Oh yeah almost forgot the Question I'm Pro Life

[Ptaz]

I am pro-life.

But I'm a firm believer that passing a law isn't going to end abortions. Abortions occurred before Roe v. Wade and would still occur if a law was passed. Work on the personal responisbility angle; better results would be achieved.

I'm not arguing mandatory abortions, just access to them without fear of stigma or reprisal.

My mother thinks that birth control should be put in the city water system!

The guidelines currently in operation were issued by the Medical Council on 26 November, 1998 and superseded the previous document, published in 1993. The following is the text relevant to abortion:

"The deliberate and intentional destruction of the unborn child is professional misconduct. Should a child in utero suffer or lose its life as a side effect of standard medical treatment of the mother, then this is not unethical. Refusal by a doctor to treat a woman with a serious illness because she is pregnant would be grounds for complaint and could be considered to be professional misconduct."

==============================

This runs in direct contradiction to the claims made by Kirkland Junction.

[who knows what evil?]

Pro life...period. I remember a time when mothers would sacrifice their lives for their babies. Now, the opposite is true.

[Uff Da]

PRO-LIFE without question!!

[ThJ1800]

Perhaps he should have done better research.

[Jolly Rodgers]

You claimed that the doctor was prevented from saving the mother's life by removing the already dead fetus from the womb. Are you now changing your statement?

[Jolly Rodgers]

Perhaps he is simply being dishonest.

[Partisan Hack]

I remember a time when mothers would sacrifice their lives for their babies. Now, the opposite is true.

Yes. In Lebanon Suicide Bombers are revered and martyred by their mothers.

[ThJ1800]

Not knowing him personally, I would rather not make that claim.

[mingwah]

Most excellent!

pro life..from the womb to the tomb..

Hello? Is this the rotweiler Womans Progressive Health center? It is? Is Dr. Tiller there? He is? Can you give him a message? You will? What? No! I'm not a patient but I need to talk to him about my Mommy. Yes, Yes thats right I'll hold.

Dr Tiller? Hi My Name is Sheri and you saw my mommy in there a couple of years ago! Yes she's fine. No you didn't get to give her an abortion. No, she is OK. No, those Religious people talked to her after her first visit to you and she was drawn to Jesus Christ. I just wanted you to know if it where up to me you would be on trial for murder! Hello? Hello? Dr. Tiller?

Dang he hanged up on me!

I made the mistake of recounting a current abortion discussion in a nearby country. I should know better.

Apparently few here were aware of the intense discussions in Ireland.

In my paper, I referenced press, journals, and formal minutes.

The paper was to show the depth of debate, the Irish legal structure and of the reporting of same.

It leads to a thesis on the Irish legal system, post-revolution, compared to evolved UK legal system.

I've got work to get back to, some I'm outta' here.

[Mfkmmof4]

Pro-life and have 4 children. 1 daughter and 3 sons. I have one son who is autistic and then another son who is a cancer survivor and then my 5 year old who came along when I did not want anymore BUT am glad he is here.

[Partisan Hack]

Has anyone noticed that every baby/child photo posted on this thread is caucasian? Why is that?

[Jolly Rodgers]

Usually I would be inclined to agree with you. However, in this case, I detect an intentional word game. A word game intended to win sympathy for the faction that wishes to eliminate Irish law banning abortion. I tend to lack good will toward people who are working to make it easier to take innocent life for fun and profit.

Qualified Pro-choice, abortion should be legal under certain circumstances but illegal or restricted under many other circumstances.
