the pro life side is far calmer than the pro choice side
if i am pro life then all of the sudden i hate women, am racist, unreasonable, feel no compassion for rape victims, and have no scientific backing?
This is simply a lie.

My question is: if a fetus is aborted did that child not only lose its life in this world, but also in eternity? If a child dies after birth there's always the comfort that they will be resurrected, but if a fetus is aborted can God resurrect it? I wouldn't want to be responsible for not only the death of a physical life, but also its spiritual existence.

God isn't bound by our standards. So he could, or he could make them a new body if he wished. It's his decision.

Actually my entire point by bringing that up was that "shock tactics" are appropriate when we are talking about an issue which to one side at least is "shocking". I don't think pro-life/pro-choice is the same thing as a "forcing of religion" on another person. Its well enough to hold beliefs on the issue, but you don't get to just hold any belief you want. You should be forced to stand up for what that belief means.
The stance of pro-life board makers is the exact same as people who oppose the exploitation of workers in third world countries. Many people can see the benefits of the practice, letting a woman control her own life or getting that morning Starbucks for cheap. But we are inclined to ignore the costs, the unborn child or the Central American farmer working in the field. If we receive the benefits we must also be willing to accept the costs.
