If you believe that life evolved, that we evolved from ancestors, how do you not let a an unborn child evolve into it's full life?
Your theory embraces that steps were made to modern man, so why would you stop the steps of a developing, evolving human?
Over choice, or any reason, that is destructive to steps to life?
I don't embrace evolution. It happens whether I choose to accept it or not. You might want to bear that in mind. People don't consciously influence evolution.
It also doesn't 'make steps towards modern man', as if it were some purposeful target. We're really not that important in evolutionary terms. Genes are more important than us, from a gene's point of view.
One is evolution and is a theory. A theory, not an assumable fact. The other is maturity and not evolution. A woman has a right to decide for herself what happens with her body. FAIL.
We EVOLVED into beings with intelligence. Part of that intelligence is to allow one to deciede the fate of their own life and their own body.
Edit:
And what makes us intelligent humas is having some type of consistent idea of when human life actual begins.
Is it at conception when the human DNA is formed? If so you are guilty of killing human life every time you get a sunburn. Each of those cells contained human DNA. By your own definiation, it was a human life.
Is it when there is a heartbeat? If so, great - but what about those that are kept alive by life support? No heart beat = no longer human?
Populations evolve, not individuals. Your question makes no sense.
1) Agreed with the first answerer.
2) Humans are no longer evolving since we've created technologies to help us survive above all other creatures. Pro-choice does not mean you don't value life, it just means that you understand that you're not supposed to be able to tell other women what to do with their bodies. A foetus does not feel pain until around 30 weeks' gestation, which is the same time that consciousness is developed, and many abortion clinics won't even abort a foetus around that time unless it's absolutely necessary to save a mother's life.

That is disgusting to allow an aborted fetus to evolve what if it evolved into a monkey instead of a person?
The concept you are implying is the same, but the two processes that you are talking about are totally different.
These can't be compared.

The same can be said about modern medicine, you know I should just take away all current studies on cures and preventions so we can adapt to new on coming diseases. This isn't about evolution in this case, it's about woman rights. Of course I value life. Does all life has a right to live or just human life? This also depends on your views of when life starts.
I don't think we evolved from monkeys, or apes, or whatever.
However, I do think that selective breeding can take place.
e.g. Before the Industrial Revolution, there were moths that were white because they rested on silver birch trees, this camouflaged them from birds.
However, as trees got covered in soot and there were not any 'white' places to rest, the white moths stood out like sore thumbs and were eaten by the birds.
There was a common mutation in the moths, meaning that some were born brown, these ones didn't survive on the white trees, but when the trees and surfaces were covered in soot, the brown moths were camouflaged from the birds. Any white moths were eaten.
After the industrial revolution, and with cleaner industry, the process has reversed.
I don't think that humans evolved from any other species, and we will not turn into things with 4 arms, or develop any other way. We were created by God to be Human, and not evolve because we are as close to perfect as something that is not God can be. We were created in His image.
1.) One does not BELIEVE evolution, one UNDERSTANDS and ACCEPTS it.
2.) There are a number of different ways of looking at the abortion issue, from a purely scientific perspective. Most revolve around the issue of suffering -- can a fetus suffer during its death? Is its suffering worse than the suffering it might endure during the process of growing up? How does it compare with the suffering the mother will go through, having to raise an unwanted child?
3.) The whole point of human consciousness, and the way it differs from natural evolution, is CHOICE. We could CHOOSE to abandon the sick, or the deformed, or the handicapped, and simply let them die. Or we can CHOOSE to be charitable and compassionate and give them the best possible life, because we have such an abundance of resources. It is what makes us human, and greater than the sum of our evolution-developed parts.
Because I believe there is a big diffrerence between an unborn, unviable life and a baby near birth (viable) or already born. I don't believe many people do, as funerals for miscarriages is not common, and as a mother I'd rather miscarry a hundred fetuses than lose one child that I have.
I believe as long as a fetus is not viable and unborn, that it's up to the host (mother) to decide what to do. I believe in responsible choice.
I don't believe there is one soul that comes down that will never get the chance to live. I believe that if there is a soul that it will go to another fetus to be someone else... and if there is no soul, it won't matter and the fetus won't know either way.
Evolution is a scientific theory, I am pro-life. Evolution has nothing to do with whether a person is pro-choice or not.
Because I like cheese and pickle sandwiches.
Seriously, this answer makes as much sense as your question does.
 How much does getting a small tattoo on your hip/stomach hurt?
 Do anyone else have an itchy anus? ?
