I am 100% pro-life, no questions asked. I believe in the right for the unborn to live in each and every circumstance. Having said that, I like the stance the following quote makes:

Each of the Coburn Seven counts himself pro-life. If a bill came to the Senate floor that would save millions of unborn children, one assumes that pro-life members would push to improve it, accept a few necessary compromises and then enthusiastically support the legislation. It is difficult to imagine why pro-life legislation involving millions of Africans should be viewed differently.

Some argue for the unborn while doing nothing for those already born, others fight for those out of the womb while caring less than nothing for the unborn. It's not an either-or, it's a both, we don't choose one or the other. God extends His unfailing and unconditional love for both, and desires that we do the same.
