Option one, easily. Though pro-lifer is a term that is disputable. Someone like Inks or Phil is pro-life. Someone who screams epithets and threats at women, commits vandalism or even murder is just pro-stupidity or perhaps pro-theocracy.
Militant Atheists annoy me but I know very few. Most of the Atheists I know are extremely supportive of my right to believe as I do. And one Atheist friend is actually quite active in voicing her concern about persecuted religious minorities around the world.
Militant non-smokers offend me, though I confess, I benefit from the anti-smoking culture. I cannot be in places where there is much smoking for very long. And as someone who is addicted to coffee, diet cola and food...who am I to point fingers at my pals who want to light up?
I was just discussing this poll with Chris. The term Pro-Life is disputable as it implies something about the opposite viewpoint. People who are Pro-Choice are pro-'life' - we just differ on what constitutes a life. I may support abortion in the first trimester, but I oppose the death penalty. I do believe in the right to having a
quality of life that constitutes more than simply exisiting. I see no reason why a 10 year old girl raped by father should give birth to a child that will harm her body physically and mentally. I see no reason why a man in a vegetative state should be kept alive if it is against his wishes, when in capacity or the wishes of his family. I see no reason why a state should ever dream of executing a criminal even of the highest magnitude. Death is the release of a soul to a higher power to judge, but crimes committed on earth should be punished by earthly means.
