I think you got the wrong impression of the conversation, somehow. I never mentioned the terms "pro-life" or "pro-choice" at all, and tried very hard to emphasize that people don't have abortions to kill babies - they do it because they feel like it's better to not have a baby because of their circumstances. I even talked about people believing that women have the choices over their own bodies and not being forced to have a baby, and how the country is really split up about it because everyone has an emotional opinion on whether it's right or wrong. I don't think what you're saying is what they think at all.

Also, I totally understand what you're saying about the way politics are set up, and am often frustrated by it myself as an anti-war, environmentalist pro-lifer. Who is not even really sure if I am completely pro-life politically because, like you said, that gets into these horrifying legalities with birth being legislated. It's really complex and individual which is why I try to avoid the labels of pro anything.
