A...I've got to peg you as a pro-lifer, Brandon. Although, that is from what little I know of you personally, not because of your other political beliefs.<br /><br />I agree that we often bunch groups of beliefs together and then just assume that other things are true because of the overarching label associated with them, like conservative or liberal. Although, I have a feeling (perhaps a stereotype) that this is more of an American phenomenon than a Canadian one.<br /><br />I prefer to evaluate each stance on it's own merits against my theology/world view to see if it makes sense and whether I can have internal consistency.Prompters To Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16816822187911486703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7944029565868546188.post-69036227035302093202011-08-06T05:32:46.649-07:002011-08-06T05:32:46.649-07:00I think the problem often is that it's not bla...I think the problem often is that it's not black and white. The label pro-life implies that the opposing side is anti-life which is obviously not their stance. Further, while one might believe that life should be treasured and rejoiced, a woman should not be forced to endure 40 weeks of body changing, hormone changing and life changing alterations if the don't wish it or were forced in to the position.<br /><br />I would submit that extremism is never the ideal. In Russia, abortion is currently the most common form of birth control. In other countries, women are dying because they've submitted themselves to illegal procedures that are not regulated or safe. In a perfect world, no one suffers, persecutes or kills. Unfortunately, we don't live in that world.<br /><br />In an ideal world every pregnant woman would have chosen her condition willingly and would rejoice in the idea of bringing a new life to the world.Teresa Lesyknoreply@blogger.com
