See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge This is quite a heated topic as you can imagine. I'll take the liberty to define some of the terms since there is a lot of different meanings being used - I'll take the obvious ones. Pro-life is the belief that life (especially human) is always valuable and should be supported and defended. It is not however anti-choice, just like pro-choice is not anti-life. Pro-choice is the belief that people should be able to make life choices by themselves, and in particular whether they choose to have an abortion performed on their unborn child. Given the definitions above most who've got the straight-edge are pro-life and pro-choice. That is, they will take responsibility for their actions (which is the reason for being straight) and will not take the easy option of aborting an unexpected child. However, they will not presume to force the same ethic on others. Those who are hardline will also be anti-choice.

The most effective place to make a change is your own body and the actions you take every day." User Contributions:Top Document: alt.punk.straight-edge sXe FAQ Previous Document: 3-9.
