Jimmy Carter, pro-life activist?

The LDS Church is clearly not pro-life. They are pro-abortion.

Completely agree. They are as pro-abortion as they are pro-gay marriage.

They want abortion to be legal and accessible. That's pro-abortion. They certainly aren't pro-life. They think it's OK to kill the baby if Mom's life is in danger or if there was rape or incest. That's definitely a pro-abortion stance. Most Christians are opposed to abortion even in those circumstances.

I work with a lady whose daugher had a baby that was the product of rape. That's the way evangelicals tend to operate. That is a genuine pro-life position.

Yep. LDS, almost every living American, and Jimmy carter are all pro-abortion. You're right.

Are you opposed to abortion in all circumstances? Do you think abortion should be legal?

Well, my experience is anecdotal, so I'll believe your study, but I am continually surprised at upper and middle class women I've seen who have had abortions. I didn't mean to imply that it runs equally across all demographics.

Also, I'd guess that the prevalence of women who have had abortions (and no, I don't have numbers on this) is higher than most on here would guess. I still see a surprising number who have had them in rural Utah, and the frequency was much higher in Michigan.

If the frequency is higher in rural Utah, I would guess it is because it is far more socially damning to have a child out of wedlock here than most other states. (Nothing said about the damning that may ACTUALLY be occurring...)

I'm middle of the road pro-life, like jimmy carter, mormons and most republicans. I don't get too worked up about the politics of it. It's a low level issue for me. Even if you (or some radical catholic) think that makes me pro-abortion, it doesn't.

If you are OK with abortion in cases of rape, incest, and danger to the mother's life, then you are pro-abortion. You aren't pro-life. Pro-life means that you want abortion to be illegal.
