I appreciate your thoughtful sentiment, but will just have to respectfully disagree that abortion is a true alternative to taking responsibility for a child that you conceived (again - not discussing the standard exceptions, but instead addressing the elective abortions that make up the vast, vast majority...around 95%).
This is what the pro-life movement is really about. It's not about human rights or speaking for those with no voice to speak for themselves. It's about imposing one's own views about sexual morality and personal responsibility onto the rest of society.
The actions of the pro-life movement suggest that having sex outside of marriage is just as bad as killing a fetus. Since pro-lifers claim to believe that a fetus is a person this means one of two things:
1. They think extra-marital sex is as bad as murder, or
2. On some level they don't actually believe that a fetus is a person.
