Disclaimer: This is obviously a fake definition.
If you’re a bloke and you disagree, well… sorry, Cupcake, but you’ll be allowed to speak on the topic when you grow the equipment to carry out a pregnancy.
If you’re a gal and you disagree… Oh, Sister! *gives you a coin* Here, 50p, to go buy yourself a brain. Keep the change.
And, yes, I’m particularly proud of the phonetic transcription on this one.
pro-life
Pronunciation: /ˈanti tʃɔɪs/
adjective
- Severe medical condition that prompts its object to shove his (sometimes her) beliefs down the throats of others. Usually a biped with that condition will resort to lie and deceit (the most severe forms lead to violence and criminal activities). The condition is mostly associated with massive religious ideas (that the other people might have different values – or no religion at all – is irrelevant to the ones having that condition, for they think they have the right to act as they do):
Using vaginal probes on sluts who want to have an abortion is perfectly reasonable. They must be publicly shamed for being equipped to carry out a pregnancy. Believe me, I should know, I’m pro-life.
- Smokescreen that allows people to not care about what happens to a foetus once its born and needs love (i.e: adoptions deemed unconventional are prevented) and money (i.e.: poor parents aren’t helped – much, for they are “sinners”):
I’m pro-life, but if these harlots kept their legs closed, we wouldn’t have to veto gay adoptions.
- Philosophy that pretends to care about women when the sole aim is to bully them into submission. A predicted aim is to try to enslave women and make sure that they no longer have any right (slow process from a very patient kind of crowd):
It’s clearly a kind, pro-life measure to limit women’s choices. They don’t have clear minds and can’t make their own choices.
- State of utter lack of charity that makes someone think he, or she, can decide that someone who’s dying has to keep suffering – even if the person’s begging to be allowed to end it all:
My G*d says it’s wrong – and He’s pro-life! I don’t care if the patient is living such hell that the screams are heard throughout the hospital. We can’t have people making choices about their own bodies!

Oh, it is so nice to see someone who has my ideas write them with such aplomb. My father and I got into such an absolute row the other day because he and I vary so differently on what "father's rights" entail. He thinks they start at "conception" and that the woman should have to carry the fetus even if she wants an abortion if the father says that he wants the kid after birth. I told him that just as soon as the male gender figures out a way to gestate the little buggers, I'm sure that medical science could transfer them over, but until then there is no way that a woman should have her womb held hostage for 9 months by some jerk who couldn't be bothered with a condom for 15 minutes. It's bad enough for the women who became pregnant as a result of a rape. Now in certain states here they are essentially being forced to be raped again by an electrical instrument just so they can get rid of one of the physical reminders left by the bastard. This couldn't have been a woman's idea. No one with any empathy would have had that idea.
And I know exactly what you mean by the religious idealism that seems to tag onto this. For every 1 person who holds a Non-Religious argument against abortion, there are 10,000 who throw God, Jesus, the Bible, their religious values, some random quotes from some freak pastor(s), etc.. into every other sentence as if it just isn't possible for someone to not live their live according to mere "be a good person" rhetoric. Separation of Church and State (A fundamental part of our US Constitution- Not that you'd know it from our news lately) seems to blow right over their heads. To them it reads "Separation of All Other Churches Except Christian From The State." They spout off about "Our Government Buildings Say 'In God We Trust' and so does our money!" Except it didn't until 1954, when McCarthy went all nuts and started accusing everyone of being Communist. Until then, "In God We Trust" wasn't on anything. They forget that. And they forget about the Treaty of Tripoli entirely...
So I pretty much like to tell the "Happy Little Super-Christians" to bag their asses. (I do know some nice Christians. The kind who do their own thing and never say a word. The 'live and let live' sort. Modest, and giving... Where all of a sudden you find out that they've been baking and cooking for the homeless for 20 years, and going to church every morning at 6am before anyone else even was awake. But they never Brag About It. They don't- however- stand around abortion clinics and wave placards no matter what their views are.)
I had a surprise pregnancy. I was quite ill prepared for it. But personally, I didn't want to have an abortion. I knew my dad would help me. I was lucky that way. I CHOSE not to have an abortion. I realize that I am lucky to have that choice though. I know many women are not in a situation where they really have much of a choice. I would never EVER judge anyone based on the life they have lived, or the choices I would make differently in mine. Hers are not the shoes I wish to walk in. And she doesn't want mine either. So why doesn't everyone keep the hell out of each others business and let women control their own bodies? The men have no say, you know? And we won't tell them when they can have access to their anti-baldness foam drugs. Okay?
It's great that you could make the choice you wanted (and it's nice that your father helped).
What bugs me beyond words is the huge number of men talking on the topic. No womb = no voice on the topic.
I'm reading a lot of papers from your side of the pond, and what started this post is a man who's in favour of the medical rapes - sorry, informed, but compulsory vaginal probing. That biped ignored me when I confronted him, saying that women can make their own choices.
Mind you, we've got our own barmy bunnies here, too (there are two gals, MPs, in two countries that I want to cuff until it kickstarts their brains!).
Oh... speaking of dear old nutcase McCarthy, have you read Robert Vaughn's PhD, "Only Victims"? I worked on the Hays Code, and that's a very good book. :)
