I'd venture to say pro-life people have a mystical/spiritual connection to that fertilized egg. They see what it can become. Pro-choice folk take a more secular view and see that egg as it is.Definitions are powerful.
Prolife people tend to define the unborn fetus as the most innocent, a human being that has the right to life just like the rest of us.
Pro-choice people tend to define the unborn fetus as a clump of cells in a woman's body that has no more rights than the woman's appendix.
If you want to understand both sides of the issue, look at the issue through the prism of both those definitions.
Those who support the legality of abortion do not seek to force anything on anyone.
Those who are against the legality actively seek to control others, and the full heat of their wrath falls on the poor and working class.
150 years ago Democrats thought that some human lives were property to be disposed of at the will of its owner.
Looks like nothing has changed.
Sad but true. But to be fair, there are Democrat and liberal pro-lifers. As well as atheist pro-lifers, etc.
There are no democrat pro-lifers. If they were they wouldnt support a party which imposes abortion. And it is not a peripheral issue. Along with homosexuality and socialism abortion is a sacrament to democrats.

Yes there are. Don't make statements that are demonstrably untrue.

Think about what pro-life people want to do to healthcare and laws about religious freedom then reread the definition post.
They seek to control and limit your choices in life.

At conception a new genetically distinct human being has come into existence. One who has never existed before and will never exist again. It is wholly human and has all of the attributes it is supposed to have for that stage of its human life cycle.150 years ago Democrats thought that some human lives were property to be disposed of at the will of its owner.Definitions are powerful.

Actual born human beings are different than zygotes jackass.
After fertilization has taken place a new human being has come into being...[this] is no longer a matter of taste or opinion, it is not a metaphysical contention, it is plain experimental evidence. An individual human life begins at conception when a sperm cell from the father fuses with an egg cell from the mother, to form a new cell, the zygote, the first embryonic stage. The zygote grows and divides into two daughter cells, each of which grows and divides into two grand-daughter cells, and this cell growth/division process continues on, over and over again. The zygote is the start of a biological continuum that automatically grows and develops, passing gradually and sequentially through the stages we call foetus, baby, child, adult, old person and ending eventually in death. The full genetic instructions to guide the development of the continuum, in interaction with its environment, are present in the zygote. Every stage along the continuum is biologically human and each point along the continuum has the full human properties appropriate to that point.

If someone kills a fetus in a car accident, they have to answer to it. An obstetrician has a legal responsibility for a fetus. If they do any harm to it they can be sued. A fetus has legal inheritance rights. And one could offer other examples.
So why is it life one time but not another time?
DNA says they are new and genetically distinct human beings.Some would argue that the civil rights of new and genetically distinct human beings are being trampled on today.It was the central question.If, If, and If. If pigs could fly. Get back to me when you are appointed to sit on the bench and reverse the decision of the court. In the meantime, the religious Right has not yet turned this country into a christian version of a muslim nation.
Don't be so overly emotional. It would just go back to letting the states decide.
Relax.
I grew up in the South during the civil rights struggle. I am not interested in watching Texas, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana trample all over the people's rights again in my lifetime. They would do it again in a New York second, if allowed to.
...and some would be wrong, because legally, a fetus is not a human being, at least until it is a viable life outside the womb.
Viability does not determine humanity. If it did then anyone who was not viable due to injury or illness would not be human.
The fact is Republicans don’t care for the baby and they don’t care for the mother.So after losing the science debate it is on to your next logical fallacy straw-man of your own making? Well... that is easier than making a cogent argument.If Republicans really cared about children and women, they would make it easier for the unfortunate women to give birth knowing their children will be taken care of and they will be helped.Those who support the legality of abortion do not seek to force anything on anyone.
Those who are against the legality actively seek to control others, and the full heat of their wrath falls on the poor and working class.
But right here on the USMB, Republicans feel forcing a woman to have that baby will "teach her a lesson" and her punishment is that baby.
Imagine growing up knowing you're existence was a punishment. At least we'll know where criminals will be coming from.
I bet TN wants to get in on some of this... oh wait.. no he doesn't.

Sounds like you should ask that question to the Supreme Court. They seem pretty sure that early term abortions are no longer illegal.
If men could get pregnant, abortion would never have been illegal in the first place.
Every creature on the planet is a unique being. What makes a fertilized human egg different from the fertilized egg of any other mammal?No.Are they separate humans that have legal rights?
The fertilized egg is a unique organism.
From CONCEPTION till natural death, "it" is a unique being. You know that, but your satanic ideology prevents your honesty.
i dont see it as a baby so..Too bad that innocent baby doesn't get a choice.The "choice" comes into play with that circumstance.If someone kills a fetus in a car accident, they have to answer to it. An obstetrician has a legal responsibility for a fetus. If they do any harm to it they can be sued. A fetus has legal inheritance rights. And one could offer other examples.

The founders would have hanged them a long time ago. Federalism and and states rights are what the constitution dictates to protect liberty. Not a swing vote on a God-like court.
