I think I'm an oddball here, so I'll weigh in. I won't stay in this discussion(I will unwatch after this reply) and won't respond to quotes(so don't bother) because the issue of abortion makes me sick and I don't want to discuss it. No sense ruining my day. However, I feel all we hear from regarding abortion is from one 'side' or the other. I want to give what I feel is a different perspective.
There is no clear cut 'yes or no' in my religion regarding abortion. Hinduism doesn't work like that. When I was a Pagan, I was still pro-life, even though most Pagans are not. There is no clear cut stance in Paganism, either, though most Pagans tend to be liberal, politically speaking.
Politically speaking, I think both parties are full of crap, and they don't influence my pro-life stance at all. I think those who are politically pro-life miss the mark; those who would see all babies born also have little interest in helping care for them, and often vote against spending on society's more needy. Politically speaking, I'd love to see all needy women and babies cared for so finances didn't have to come into play when a woman encounters an unexpected pregnancy. I'd also like to see no barriers receiving birth control, as this is going to be most important in stopping unexpected pregnancies.
I am pro-life because I believe in the sanctity of life. I have been pregnant three times, and I could interact with my babies, and they had personalities(enough so that I could tell a bit what they were like before birth). I know not all women feel this way, but women are not a uniform group. However, my reverence for life does not end after birth. I care for life after it is born, for the life of the mother and father as well. I would love to see health care available for all to sustain that life, and policy in place to sustain the life of the flora and fauna as well. For me, pro-life goes beyond abortion(though it includes it).
I can't say my views are either political or religious for me. Its just part of my heart.
