I will hazard a guess: All.
rephrase your question

I'm pro-choice up to about 28 weeks. I know if I had a preemie born before 28 weeks I would be very cautious to what interventions I consented. So many parents seem to take great pride in the torture they allowed doctors to inflict on their children.

It depends on the capabilities of the hospital and obviously each case is individual, but when I had my micropreemie twins 14 years ago we were told that if they were delivered under 22 weeks that they would not be viable. From 22-25 weeks, it would be our decision to have the hospital staff provide all life saving intervention or to pot for compassionate care and let them go and after 25 weeks gestation the hospital would automatically provide all life saving care possible.

@AdorkableMe
There are no circumstances where I consent to a g-tube or vent.

@PhoebeCat Our twins lives were saved by having g-tubes placed. Lasted about a year. They are 14 now. Also had to be on vent for a while. You have the right to refuse those things for yourself, but no one else.

@arnies
Who but me can protect my hypothetical children from being tortured by doctors just because they can? Trust me, I see the long term effects of medical intervention daily. Death is far from the worst thing that can happen.

When ever somebody asks me that question, I always respond that I am pro-contraception.

It's kind of pathetic that both sides are so caught up in battling each other over whether abortion should be legal or not that we STILL don't have contraceptive methods which are 100% safe and effective 100% of the time.

Trick question as the opposite of "prolife" could be anti-life, which I am NOT.

I abhor abortion as much as I do neglecting unwanted children, that fact any child could be unwanted (why not prevent pregancy? we have the means), or of inviting strangers into such a private situation and decision as an unplanned pregnancy.

"why not prevent pregancy? we have the means" that is a really complicated question. There are all kinds of reasons unwanted pregnancy happen; lack of access, lack of education, lack of money to purchase, lack of facility to purchase or acquire, rape, incest, birth control misuse and failure, sterility failure, etc., etc.

@AdorkableMe I know that. The religious strangle hold where I live is a huge reason young folks won't use birth control; that's what I was getting at. Anti abortion but not up for preventing the need for one.

@Zster I misread your post. In that case I completely agree. Lol

Political views? Lean right or lean left?

When the anti-abortionists first came out, they did use pro-life. Once they were laughed off the stage of life, they changed their name to pro-life to confuse things. I'm still laughing at them. They just want everyone to believe like they do and are willing to kill for it. (at least 1 time in MA).

Do you mean pro-life, pro-birth, or anti-abortion? These terms may not be used interchangeably. Most so-called pro-lifers are really anti-abortion.

The governor of Iowa just signed into law restricting termination when a heart beat can be detected. So many women will not know they are pregnant when the miniscule ticker begins. The anti choice movement is often pro death when it comes to capitol punishment when we could be studying these criminals while incarcerated for life.
