The tone of the OP is incredibly offensive.
Just seeing the phrase "Pro-Death Lobby" makes my blood boil.
Let's look at the words here, and see what is appropriate to describe either side of abortion.
Pro-choice : I am for a woman's right to make their own choices regarding their bodies.
Anti-choice : You are against a woman's right to make these decisions.
Pro-life : You are for the idea that life is special and worth preserving.
Anti-life : Wait a minute, I'm not against that idea at all!
Considering we are both for the idea of "life", the label of "pro-life" is invalid in this context, as it does not create a distinction. More appropriately, you should resign to the title of "anti-choice" because it is much more effective in creating said distinction. Finally, to call anyone "pro-death" is to say they are heartless monsters that laugh at the site of people dying. I know a lot of people who are pro-choice, I don't know a single one that would laugh at someone dying. You demonize your opposition in an entirely unfair and rather absurd manner, and this is not how civilized humans interact.
Furthermore, I see a large portion of the "pro-life" movement as being largely hypocritical. You are absolutely outraged at the thought of abortion, but your reasoning is the sanctity of life. If you believed in the sanctity of life, you would be against the death penalty, you would be against ALL war, and you would probably be in some 3rd world country working as a missionary. Seeing as you're just yelling your ignorant opinion on the internet, and saying that everyone who disagrees with you is evil, well, you embarrass yourself.
