This goes for pro-choice, vaccines, etc. We seem to have lost our sense of society when we only care about things directly affecting us. And, yes, it does seem to be a problem that manifests itself mainly in conservative minds. For the evangelicals, it's all about "personal salvation" or what we used to call "fire insurance." If they get it wrong, they go to hell. However, the fact that they can change their minds about what's right and wrong based on who is hurt says a lot about who they really are, and it's not a pretty view.
They are not "Pro Life" any more than we are "Pro Death." As a matter of fact, they seem to actually be "Pro Death." Like you, I think Anti-Choice v Pro-Choice is more accurate.

Your pregnancies sound, sadly enough, like mine. Sick as a dog, emergency deliveries, etc.
