  • Amanda is right about the inflammatory terms.... Then she uses "anti-choice" and "anti-sex" to describe the other side. How is that not political flaming? Or inflammatory? How about calling them "anti-abortionists" or "abortion rights opponents" like NPR does? To end on a lighter note: The funniest self-chosen term I have ever heard was "Fetal Rights Activist." That sounds ridiculous! But the person was proud to call herself that....

  • I'm Pro-Choice but only to the 8 1/2 month after that it's murder.

  • I'm anti-choice when it comes to slavery, spousal abuse and drinking and driving. I can't do anything I want with my body - that right ends when someone else's body is at stake. The question is not whether abortion a choice - it is. The question, what does that choice do? If it kills a child, then that choice shouldn't be legal.

    BTW, I've been watching these videos and there's a lot of hate speech and propaganda here - against pro-lifers. Do as I say, not as I do.

  • my womb my choice. when they grow a vagina they can choose what they get to push out of it!!!!
