Is an unborn baby a human life?"That is a question that only our creator can answer, and of course that is dependent upon your religious beliefs. Simple. Some believe it is, while others do not.

"Should ANYONE be allowed to legally end a human life other than death penalty situations?" Once again that is dependent upon your religious beliefs or non-belief if that is the case. Why is it legal for the state to put an end to a life, while pro-lifers think an abortion doctor is a murderer? Of course, you might say that the person receiving the death penalty deserves it, but how many of those in prison are truly innocent but have been the victims of failure in the justice system? Can you, with impunity, attest to the guilt of everyone on death row? I have a hard time understanding what I believe is a hypocritical stance from pro-lifers when it comes to capital punishment. While railing against abortion many of you cheer when a man/woman is given a lethal injection. Could they have grown up in a system that is not conducive to children and therefore have turned to a life of crime? At the same time, pro-lifers grip about social programs that will benefit the life of all children (i.e. welfare, health care, food stamps, education, etc...). Makes little sense to me. It is also frustrating to see how few pro-lifers adopt unwanted children who are clogging up the social service system. It seems to me that anything that benefits children's lives should be a high priority to you all.
I worked for Planned Parenthood and can tell you that the protesters there were an angry lot that were anything but nice to the women coming to the clinic (even if for only birth control, well woman visits, or STD checks). Wouldn't have been better to treat them with kindness, given them an alternative that made sense and was long term, instead of calling them "whores" and "harlots".
"Why is it reasonable to not hold people accountable for their actions?" That seems like a silly question, of course people should be accountable for their actions. But what about the babies who are born to families that can not afford them or have the emotional maturity to raise them. Of course, if you have a PWB (perfect white baby) you can find adoptive parents, but anything other, forget it. Another added to the system, and probably after much damage has been done to them through poor parenting and/or poverty. Then they turn into those men and women we support in the prison system. When you are holding a woman responsible for getting pregnant by accident, when are we holding the men to the same standards? How many cases have you seen where a judge orders a woman to not become pregnant or pushes sterilization, yet the fathers are left off the hook. Unfair I'd say.
These are all questions that should be able to be answered if you hold a pro-choice position.

BTW, most people wouldn't want to watch any medical procedure.

I don't like abortion as a means of family planning or birth control, but I believe this is a free country and your morals aren't everyone's morals or beliefs. You may believe life begins at conception, but not everyone believes that. What gives you the right to push your morals onto others? Many PETA vegetarians think that no animal should be killed for research, food, or other products. Yet as long as we are omnivores on the whole, their morals are just that---theirs. They believe in the sanctity of animal life just as much as you do an unborn child's. What makes them wrong and you right? Or anyone else for that matter. I think that the thing liberals hate the most about conservatives is their never ending quest to rule by their moral compass. Keep America free!!!!
