1:45Well, then how could something called "pro-choice" be called destructive? It's positve, right? Right??? (/sarcasm)I could easily say the same about you, and your methods of rationalization and justification when it comes to this issue. And if you readily admit that you "can't understand" the love between a mother and a child (2:20 and 3:15), then perhaps you aren't intellectually well versed enough to understand the debate from a perspective that is different from yours.

By the by, I am an atheist. And a quick observation tells me that, as usual, those who actually have degree of intellect and are pro-choice are largely atheist as well.

despite the fact that the girl in most cases does not have the financial, social and psychological support needed to give her and the baby a decent, comfortable and happy home, isn't pro-life at all. If a baby is born into poverty, a destitute home etc, surely it would be better for EVERYONE, the baby, mother and family, that the baby wasn't there at all. Life isn't measured in cells, but in someones standard of living.

I think the most important word in this debate is "life". What is life? What is it to be pro-life? Life, in my opinion, isn't merely the existence of an organism, but the exsistence of a happy, secure and free organism. Surely, telling someone like a typical middle-class pregnant teenage girl that she must have the baby, (continued)

I was adopted at birth and had always felt a desire to find my parents. It was relatively easy and inexpensive, and we have a great relationship now. My adoptive parents don't condemn me for doing so, and understand that it was a curiosity that I needed to satisfy. It would be hard to explain to someone who isn't adopted. However I agree with everything else that you say. Well put.

Im a atheist, but damn being a pro- life (if wrong then, the one stopping abortion) is being against gods plan.my only comment is "people, be on there shoes" apparently this anti-abortion group does not follow gods plan (LOL), and they do not know the burden of having a child that the parent calls "rape child", plus even if they try, abortions will continue to happen. make it illegal,and still it will happenas that video says: doctor&parent doing job, anti = clueless.as stated on gods plan.

Ohh WOW!!! Your insight and persuasion are so great with your coarse language and insults to my religion. I will now change my deeply held beliefs because you decided to spew your hatred in a crappy 3:50 youtube clip. Thank you for showing me the way!!!You have so much anger bottled up in you. I feel awful for you and hope your life will turn around.
