Biggest pro-abortion group. does anyone know what it is. I looked up in google, biggest pro abortion group, but all I found was stuff related to the vatican or to the political race. thank in advance
Ugh...ima back.

Sorry Simone - I have no clue.  But I think I'd call it "pro abortion rights" rather than "pro abortion".  Maybe try searching on "abortion rights" or "women's rights"?  (for some reason we view abortion as a female problem --- although it seems obvious that it takes two to tango!)

I think it's called "pro-life", not "pro-abortion". ProLife.com is pretty big. American Life League is pretty big, too.
I want bad people to look forward to and celebrate the day I die, because if they don't, I'm not living up to my potential.

I don't think you will find many that self identify as 'pro-abortion'....very few people want abortions to happen they just want it to remain as a option for those that might need it.

Planned Parenthood is very active in supporting pro-choice and better sex ed.

I thought "pro-life" is the name of the movement that would seek to outlaw abortion.....

"Pro-Choice" is the euphamism you're seeking ;-)

Shhh!! I was fishing for the reason Simone was trying to figure this out!

(Why do you think someone would need to know the biggest pro-choice organization? I think I might know...)

The question was for a project for religion class. Sadly, the teacher didn't take my pro-choice views quite the right way. I got a b- because she said that she didn't quite think that this had anything thing to do with religion class. I showed her otherwise, but maybe she seems to not want to admit it. Hmm... I wonder why...or do I.?.Nope.
Ugh...ima back.

If you'd like, I can speak with her. I've got a black belt in talking.

Ech - sucks when teachers can't grade objectively.

Something similar happened to me.  I was an engineering major, but I took a "Classic Civ" course on Greek plays - the instructor was the head of the department.  I'd didn't agree with some of his analysis of the plays we studied, so during my first exam I presented my own take on the plays' meanings' which I thought I defended adequately.  He gave me a C-, which surprised me, so I went to see him during office hours.  His response was "you got the meaning of the play wrong - I taught you the correct meaning in class".  Which surprised me even more - you wouldn't think that the head of the classic civ department would have trouble understanding that art doesn't have a universal "correct meaning", but I guess he did.  He followed up with "I understand that this topic would be hard for an engineering major to understand", which made me question his objectivity, so I dropped the class (happily) to look for more fertile intellectual fields!
