What was the original cause of pro life and pro choice?

Answer 1

For the most part it all started back when the Supreme courts ruled in the controversial 1973 Roe. vs. Wade case and struck down most laws against abortions. Since then, the controversy has continued, with people moving to one camp or the other. Pro-life generally means a person who is against all abortions; one who believes that life begins at conception and thus, the fetus is an unborn child that has a right to live. Pro-choice generally means a person who does not believe life begins at conception, and thus, believes the fetus is not an unborn child until it is viable and could live outside the womb-- which these days is usually at about the fifth month of pregnancy; pro-choice people are not necessarily pro-abortion, but they do believe it should be the woman's decision, rather than the government's, about whether to have an abortion.
