I think one issue is whether I should be forced through federal taxation to support abortion without a choice in the matter. Would Pro-Choicers privately support free clinics so the poor would have equal access to the same abortion services the rich would have access to without government support? For government to take a role in defending the life of an un-born child, it is vitally necessary to define when "life" begins for this obligation to be in force. It seems that a lot of people agree it extends backwards from birth to cover the third tri-mester as they call it. I think only a minority would say that "life" for the purpose of government protection begins with conception. I agree that it is very difficult if not impossible to defend being a Pro-Life advocate and also advocate capital punishment. Sometimes it boils down to what in society will I be apathetic about and what will I attempt to change. I don't like knowing my tax dollars are being used for government to choose who they'll kill with them.
