This is more of how people label themselves rather than what people actually think. Thats what I hate most about American politics, everything is black and white, with little gray areas.

In reality, only 25% of American want to ban abortion in all instances, over 50% want to allow abortion under certain circumstances (rape, incest, early stage of pregnancy), and 20 percent want to allow abortion under all circumstances. There is a large portion of people who want to allow abortion under certain cirumstances that label themselves pro-life.

Yep, I am in that group. I do not think that an abortion should ever occur, except when the health/life of the mother is at risk. Even for rape I would want the mother to carry the baby but won't stand in the way of her choice on that matter, as it wasn't her choice to begin with. Incest is plain wrong. All other reasons for an abortion to me are invalid and are a cop out on your poor choices.
