That's an example of the weaknesses of a sound bite society where every position is reduced to as few descriptive words as possible and everyone is pigeon-holed into one description or the other. Despite my post about serial killers etc. it is obvious that most folks are "pro-life" as opposed to "pro-death", likewise most folks are generally "pro-choice" as opposed to restricting freedom of choice overall. I would say that I am philosophically opposed to abortion but realize that in the end it's a choice made by the individual. I support all logical means of reducing the abortion rate but don't want to see folks forced into a decision by others....so where does that put me?
