The contradiction is yours. You deny the property rights of the mother.

Sorry, one human being can never own another. Hence why I oppose slavery as well as abortion.

A fetus cannot own anything, and hence is not a human being.

A fetus is not a human being in total. It is dependent on the mother and is inside her, therefore it is her property.

A fetus cannot own anything, and hence is not a human being.

By your own subjective standards.  While I agree with the premise that if a fetus is not human being, then there should be no restrictions on whether a fetus may be terminated, there is no objective way of determining that a fetus is not human being.  Given a particular set of subjective standards for being human, it is possible to objectively determine if that standard is met.

Since the standard for being a human being is subjective, it follows that setting that standard is a legislative function of government (unless one is an anarchist who believes that there should not be any such thing as government).

That is my objection to Roe v. Wade and its successor decisions.  They treat a legislative (i.e., subjective)  matter as if it were judicial (i.e., objective).

What a ridiculous poll.  This is far from a black-and-white issue.

Not really. You either support abortion on request or you don't.

The current UK laws don't support abortion on request, as far as I know. A woman can only get an abortion if the baby will seriously affect the life of the mother or the child itself will be born disable or if birthing the child will kill the mother or in cases of rape/incest. Also, 2 doctors need to agree that the abortion is justified. Our laws are noticabley more conservative compared to the US, Canada and other EU countries which have on demand laws.

That sounds very Moderate Hero.

I am pro-choice.

My answer here never fits into the pro-life/pro-choice definitions.

I'm pro-life as far as opposing abortions on principle is concerned....although at the same time I do tend to believe a woman should have control over her own body, and I really don't think criminalization is the answer.

On demand abortion, however, is still not a good thing. Abortions should never be a replacement for contraception.

Eh...what do I answer? Pro-choice I guess to fit the American political definitions.

Wow.
You are one of the last people who I would expect to be pro-choice.

Why? Benconstine is consistently pro-death and consistently wrong, no matter the issue.

     Good luck getting people to realize that their position on abortion (or any other issue, really) is not inherently & objectively the just & correct position to hold.

Pro-Choice, but not really an issue I particularly care about.

Hmm, if you're 'pro-choice' yet still have a positive social score, you must be a real fascist on every other social issue.

Pro-life. 

I believe the federal government should outlaw abortion, except where the mother is in medical danger.

I'm surprised so many people thought I was pro-life.
