It is absolutely possible to be both. In fact everyone on the board is both.I always had the same questions around anti-abortion people adopting healthy children or mentally/physical challenged children. You have people who don't adopt kids in their own family yet people believe others should be forced to have unwanted children. Are these people going to help pay for the life long medical expenses? Are these people going to allocate a percentage of their income for the long term care, housing and education of children who may spend their lives in a group home/foster care.In all likelihood no because Republicans typically don't like social programs. Even if you volunteered your services for five hours a week to unwanted children, its not the same as being a full time parent. At the end of the day you'll do your little community service and go to your nice home while that child may only receive the minimum level of love and support if that.
If he is telling the truth about supporting the proposal and not Trump, ok I guess. The problem is the talk around not caring about Trump's abortions and not caring about how others view abortions kind of contradicts his pro life stance. How can you support a proposal but claim you respect or don't care about the things others choose to do. I thought pro life meant you were opposed to abortion regardless of who it may be and you're in favor of laws that protect those potential lifes.
In my mind, if you respect other people's decisions or generally don't care about what other people do you would be pro choice. Pro choice literally means you respect other people's right to make the decision for themselves and dont support proposals or laws that would infringe on that decision.You as a person can still be opposed to abortion and be pro choice.By saying you support a proposal that supports anti abortion beliefs you are attempting to impose your personal beliefs on others. The length of time into the pregnancy is irrelevant.
Noone on this board agrees with aborting a 9th month gestational pregnancy. Pro-life
However, many believe that there are instances where abortion is justified. Pro-choice.
This thread was initially just about babies who survived the abortion and me saying that baby deserves a chance to live.
