Pro-Life is a euphemism for abortion. Even the term abortion is a euphemism. You abort a space flight, a computer program...……

The correct term should be Infanticide

That's a cute question that might stump someone who's not spent more than two seconds thinking about it :)

The moniker "pro life" means anti-abortion. The term pro-life itself is somewhat politicized and therefore attracts (silly) scrutiny like your post, but the "position" is just a basic moral one rooted in the belief that it's wrong to kill babies. That's all there is to it. 

If you're wondering how someone can be against killing babies but supportive of (say) executing baby killers, think about it for a second and see if you can come up with any differences between the two acts.

I doubt anyone here is interested in being placed on the defensive by a poster with all of two posts under his belt,

Make that, by a poster who threw together a dozen posts in his first half hour only to find 10 of them deleted right away!
.
Reminds me of Vat.II: throw these up on the wall to see what sticks. So only two stuck.

      Check his downthumb count: he has -14.... where do those come from? They were on his posts that got deleted.

Some great comments above lads. Personally I refer to abortion as baby killing, for that is what it is.
However, I once went to a 'pro-life' meeting filled with Catholics and priests and asked why don't Catholic 'pro-lifers' include the fact that abortions send babies to their deaths without Baptism, preventing them from ever enjoying the Beatific Vision, a fate worse than being murdred after baptism. That might change the minds of some Catholic women thinking about abortion I said.
There was silence in the hall until I was told a priest would talk to me after the meeting. None took up the task. One person came up to me and said Pope John Paul II said that such babies go straight to heaven. I replied why would Catholics try to stop abortion so, as it is the surest way to get into heaven, given the chances are far less if they lived and died.

I came to the conclusion that these 'pro-lifers were humanist pro-lifers. I never attended their meetings again.
