Pro-life

Pro-life is the position that abortion (and sometimes also euthanasia) is murder and that it should be banned. While being pro-life is commendable, many pro-lifers (especially in the United States) unfortunately support other policies that aren't pro-life at all, eg. death penalty or unjust war. For this reason, Christian democrats are not just pro-life, but pro-life for the whole life.

There are varying degrees of pro-life belief, depending on how many exceptions to an abortion ban one supports. Christian democrats are typically strongly pro-life and only support exceptions in case of pregnancy being a threat to mother's life.
