Sun, 27 May 2012 11:43:12 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ http://crushliberalism.com/2008/08/27/christian-and-pro-choice/#comment-9748 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 16:55:53 +0000 http://crushliberalism.wordpress.com/?p=3972#comment-9748 Given the framing of the positions as an “either/or,” “black and white,” “true or false” binary opinions, it leaves out the middle ground. The current labels operate as such: Pro-Life-no abortion anytime for anyone under any circumstances anywhere, and the government would never pay for abortions; Pro-Choice-abortion is allowed anytime for anyone under any circumstances with no limits on time, and the government will pay for abortions.
I am an evangelical Christian and I oppose the pro-choice position. I also reject the pro-life position where there may be other factors beyond the scope of this posting for which abortion should not be made illegal.
Where ultimately there is legislation to ban abortion, I will rally for the most restrictive and “criminalizing” language possible–that it would apply to all who have been involved in its practice (the woman, the doctor, the nurses, etc), and as an act of premediated murder, the parties would be subject to capital punishment. This would also apply to anyone in a state with such laws to their travels to another state for the purpose of obtaining an abortion. (The effect of such an approach would essentially put those who have been strident in their pro-life positions to defend anything less than the most criminalizing language.)

Me neither… but he should.
