It's funny that someone who takes a liberal pro-life stance gets immediately lumped in with every single undesirable element of the pro-life movement. I have nothing in common with extremist Catholics or fundamentalist Baptists. I am strictly concerned with the human experience and spirit and I would like to see that made available for everyone.
But I doubt you would agree that you should restrict every freedom to save even more lives. So there's a balance there somewhere between freedom to choose and limiting freedoms for the good of society. That's what the discussion is about.

Where did I lump you in with those groups? I didn't say you held the same values as they did....

I asked if you would support restricting everyone's freedoms based on their moral values. You didn't answer.
