A thought struck me the other day that by my assumption has never struck any "pro-choice" Christians. Am I correct that pro-choice Catholics and Christians in general have never read or heard the birth narrative of the very person they claim as their creator and savior? The words of Sacred Scripture that we hold to be one of the most sacred things in our lives state very simply and clearly (and repeatedly) that Jesus Christ was a CHILD while in Mary's womb. If the passage quoted above doesn't say it clearly enough, then how about Luke 2:5.
"And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child." (Luke 2:4-5)

How can any person who claims to believe in Jesus ignore the very words that tell them who he is? Or maybe they aren't ignoring the fact that Jesus was a child in womb. After all, Planned Parenthood now acknowledges that it is a child in the womb, but it is the mother's choice what to do with it. Okay, that makes a lot more sense. Pro-choice Christians must just be advocating for women's free choice when they condone the murder of a CHILD. Oh that makes a lot of sense...not. I mean if I'm not mistaken, didn't Jesus say one of the greatest commandments was to love your neighbor? Or did he mean the murdering kind of love?
Now I'm totally confused. Can anyone help clarify how a person claiming to be a CHRISTian can be "Pro-Choice" (also known as pro-abortion or whatever you want it to be)?
