A lot of pro life people feel that actively killing sometime (they consider a fetus alive) is very bad and should be stopped. Where as keeping another person alive (not passively killing them) and happy is the individuals responsibility.

Think about the trolley problem. In one case you passively kill 4 people and in the other case you actively kill 1. Pro life people would probably choose to passively kill 4 while pro choice would probably choose to actively kill 1.

A lot of people think letting people die is very bad too. And also a lot of people think there is a responsibility to not let others die.

Sure, that's what's great about democracy, we can vote for what the majority wants. I was responding to what cbanek wrote, as it seemed to me that cbanek did not correctly understand some of the pro-lifers viewpoints.

Sometimes what the majority wants, is wrong.

You can't really vote majorities when human rights issues are involved.

Basically same thing with other property rights. Can't vote a person out of their belongings.
