41. I think many times people can't understand until it

Effects them personally. And I'm not saying that in any judgment. But if people could have a bit more empathy for the living and their lives and problems we would be much better off in society.

Please disregard the posters accusations against me below. I was not interrogating you. The terms people choose to use as identifiers interest me. And the terms mean so many different things to different people, I was just trying yo understand.

I probably wouldn't ever call myself pro life, but I have heard people use it to describe themselves as being anti abortion for themselves, but believe in choice for others, which is a pro choice stance. Also, I have heard it used to describe no abortion for anyone. So, just trying to get an understanding.

Therefore my questions so we could be speaking the same language.

But to be honest you confused me again cause you refer to pro birth now and pro life prior. My questions surrounded your pro life comments. Lol.
