Funny thing about all this (and it may be a generalization, so if it doesn't apply to anyone, let me know) but it seems to me that the most strident anti-choice people are usually quite conservative, and they are against other things like comprehensive sex education, drug treatment programs that don't send someone to jail, and welfare programs.
In other words, "don't teach kids about sex, don't let them have an abortion if they get knocked up, and for crying out loud, get them off welfare, because if they can't afford to have a kid, they shouldn't have had one in the first place, even though I insisted that they have the kid in the first place".

That's very true, but it goes both ways.
The most staunch pro-choicers are the same people who defer to science on environmental issues, evolution in school etc. yet try to claim that life doesn't begin until a baby takes a breath. How scientific is that observation?
I guess those two situations are why I enjoy my position firmly in between both sets of yahoos!
