Should be pro all life. But when it comes to the life of a woman and the life of a fetus that cannot survive without the woman we must chose the life of the woman. And it is the womans life and nobody elses so what happens between a woman and her doctor should be there.
But humanity must learn respect for all life and respect for self. Repugs who are "prolife" are also prowar and prodeath penalty and that is hypocrisy. All life is important not just life in the womb. And war kills way more than abortion maybe we should focus more on ending war and leave women and their personal decisions alone.

The problem is the implication that some are pro-abortion or anti-life. It's insulting and ignorant.
