I consider myself pro-life, as in, pro-quality of life over quantity. And to me, a good quality of life includes deciding for one's self whether or not to bring a brat into the world, and not being punished for a normal, healthy behavior like consensual sex with something as significant as an unwanted inpigness.

If your birth control fails, having an abortion instead of an unwanted child isn't seen as responsible--but subjecting a child to a parent that doesn't really want it is somehow seen as the responsible choice.

This! Wanting a child to be raised by parents that resent its existence is not pro-life, it is pro-birth.

A big part of valuing life is knowing when more of it is not better.

I hope I didn't commit a "no true Scotsman" fallacy, however...

I was confused about that because they ARE free of children -- for the time being, at least, assuming their BC doesn't fail -- and also because the actual definition of the word "child-free" doesn't have a stipulation of being such forever.
These people have no business being in the group at all.
I honestly don't get the logic of that one lady who said she'd give birth to an unwanted baby, be appalled/repulsed at the thought of living with it, and then convince her MIL to be a babysitter.
Why bother?

I'm going to don my flame proof suit for this.
I think we need to take into consideration the one circumstance where someone would be forced to give birth.
We can't forget that some women are tricked by those crisis pregnancy center and by the time that they are able to even try to get an abortion it may be too late.
I would have to say in that particular situation if a woman did not have the choice to have an abortion or could not get one and was basically forced to give birth and then gave the child up for adoption with no plans to ever see it again then yes she would be childfree.
