Who are bigger hypocrites: pro-lifers or pro-choicers?

Question

In honor of the 40th Anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I thought I'd throw out a question for y'all. I say both sides are hypocritical (which I'll explain in a minute), but which side is worse?

Pro-lifers say that life begins at conception, and that all babies have the right to life. That every pregnancy, even an unplanned one, is a blessing. Yet a vast majority of them want to cut spending to help children in poverty (whom they don't think should be aborted because the mothers are poor), like food stamps, section 8 housing, and so forth. They essentially care about the kid until it's born, then it's "fend for yourself."

Now the pro-choicers are all for social welfare programs, and pass myriad (and often ludicrous) laws to protect children and improve their lives. But only the children who make it through the birth canal. Before the kid is born, they believe a woman has the right to end the pregnancy. Even Obama yesterday waxed poetic about making America safe for kids. BORN kids. Unborn kids can fend for themselves. 

So who are the bigger hypocrites? Those who only care about the kid before it's born, or those who only care about it after it's born?

BQ: Is there some kind of middle ground that isn't hypocritical?

You really should learn what the terms mean before asking questions like this.  Opposing abortion has nothing to do with views on poverty, for example.  Assuming pro-choicers feel they have a right to life themselves, however, they are huge hypocrites for feeling entitled to kill others.

First, I would like to see evidence that "a vast majority of them want to cut spending to help children in poverty".

Second, I would like to see evidence that abortions are obtained primarily by women in poverty.

Third, I would like for "pro-choicers" to define clearly when a fetus becomes a person who must be afforded human rights.

To pro choicers(i'm one) a lump of cells that doesn't have conscious thought isn't a baby.

. · Answer

Put them in the situation of an unwanted pregnancy and see how they react.

? · Answer

There is nothing hypocritical about the pro-choice position. Eggs, embryos and fetuses are not people. Giving eggs, embryos, and fetuses rights means taking rights away from *actual* people.

Pro-lifers. Read over what you wrote, see?
