Pro Life

[Martin Hash]

The term “pro life” implies that living is the primary goal of its adherents, but that is demonstrably not accurate in that many Pro Lifers are accepting of the Death Penalty, going to war, and potentially dying in a car accident. If they could use this same moral flexibility on the view of a preborn life, then even if they believe that life begins at conception, at what point in the baby’s development does its life outweigh the autonomy of the mother? Obviously there’s some amount of judgment in that evaluation because those same people find it perfectly acceptable for a pregnant woman to drive.
