Pro-life lacks objectivity? Maybe, and if so, what objectivity does pro-choice have?
Of course, if the mother's life is in peril, that is an extreme case that may justify abortion (most pro-life advocates don't deny this), so that does not make for a strong argument.
But it's still good to point out the intellectual inconsistency that pro-lifers have to "struggle" with.
To your response to both 91 and myself, you did not substantiate your initial claims, but rather iterated them.
Advocates of the pro-life position do not "struggle" with what you deem as "inconsistency".
If it is a decision between abortion of one life or the loss of no lives, I would easily favor the latter.
If it is between abortion of one life or the abortion of one life and the loss of another life, the former is the lesser of two evils.
