Questions: Pro-Life or Pro Choice?

11/16/2008

I got to thinking today about the whole abortion issue.  There are a couple of different stances on the issue. You have:

Pro-choice describes the political and ethical view that a woman should have complete control over her fertility and the choice to continue or terminate a pregnancy. This entails the guarantee of reproductive rights, which includes access to sexual education; access to safe and legal abortion, contraception, and fertility treatments; and legal protection from forced abortion. Individuals and organizations who support these positions make up the pro-choice movement. 

(from Wikipedia)

and: 

Pro-life is a term representing a variety of perspectives and activist movements inbioethics. It most commonly (especially in the media and popular discourse) refers to opposition to abortion and support for fetal rights. The term describes the political and ethical view which maintains that fetuses and embryos are human beings, and therefore have a right to live. Less commonly, it can be used to indicate opposition to practices such as euthanasia, the death penalty, human cloning, and research involving human embryonic stem cells.

Now I have grown up in a Christian environment, and the church definitely leans toward the Pro-Life side of the argument.

Today I started to wonder, for wonderings sake, if there could be a middle ground for everyone to meet on?

Here is the question I have and I would like your thoughts on the subject.

Is it possible to be both pro-life and pro-choice? Or do you have to choose a side?

Is it possible that as a Christian I could hold both side of the argument to be true. Ultimately it is the right of the woman to choose, but on the other hand all human life is sacred.

Just my thoughts!
