No no, I'm not just posting another abortion thread. Let's talk about consistency about being "pro-life"
Being pro-life means every person, fetus or otherwise, has an equal right to live out their life, correct?
Then how come so many pro-life people [namely conservatives] are in support of the death penalty? The death penalty serves no purpose but to end someone's life. That flies directly in the face of being pro-life.
Similarly, if you're pro-life, you should support some sort of universal healthcare system. Every person deserves access to proper healthcare and it shouldn't depend on whether or not they can afford it. Not doing so also contracts the values of being pro-life.
So, pro-lifers - either accept these other values into your worldview, or admit that you're just pro-fetus.

"pro-life" doesn't necessarily mean pro life. it's kinda weird. most pro lifers just believe that a fetus is a living being and does you have know right to kill it because it is an inconvenience. i'm not necessarily completely pro life but people should not be able to get an abortion off of a whim. there needs to be significant reasons such as under -blam!-. i'm kind of inbetween i guess. death penalty is different. it's not like you can just point to someone and say "he deserves the death penalty". it only occurs to those who have committed very serious crimes. and pro life definatly does not mean universal healthcare. a universal healthcare system means government run and i think it should be people who run it. people are the ones who make nations great and provide inovation and strive for sucess. the things we have today are not thanks to the government. as you can guess i'm a small govnerment kind of person. if you think they should be called pro fetus then it's just a problem of labeling.
