Within my experience, most of the people I've run into who hold the incredibly shallow attitude that GUEST expresses, are not so much concerned with the matter of abortion itself. Interestingly enough, and revealingly enough, they also tend to be opposed to birth control and teaching sex education in the schools. A bit of persistent probing into their beliefs reveals that what's really going on is that they are convinced that sex is a sin, and if one indulges, one must be punished for it.

It's interesting to note that they believe that having to bear a child is a form of punishment.

This attitude of theirs may account for a lot of child abuse. It certainly accounts for a lot of children being born into poverty.

Pro-Life? Well, that depends on what you mean by "Pro-Life."
