There are some political things here that piss me off here. I might be branded by some people here as far-right because of a few beliefs I have especially about life issues and the protection of all life. That's no reason for me to change my avatar or to leave.

It's mostly right-wing parties that embrace antiabortion positions, but the broader pro-life position isn't an inherently right-wing, or far right. Like, aren't opposition to war, the death penalty and killing animals for human use all pro-life stances? People who take a consistent life ethnic stance like that don't tend to get welcomed fondly in a lot of right-wing circles.
Picking on the NSDAP for a moment, they only opposed Aryan women aborting healthy pregnancies. They were pro-abortion when it came to potential birth defects, and for non-Aryans. They were also pro-murdering all sorts of born people for all sorts of reasons. They most certainly weren't pro-life by any definition.
Quote:
Those targeted for murder under Nazi eugenics policies were largely people living in private and state-operated institutions, identified as "life unworthy of life" (Lebensunwertes Leben). They included prisoners, degenerates, dissidents, and people with congenital cognitive and physical disabilities (Erbkranken) – people who were considered to be feeble-minded. In fact being diagnosed with "feeblemindedness" (German: Schwachsinn) was the main label approved in forced sterilization, which included people who were diagnosed by a doctor as, or otherwise seemed to be:
Discomfort with abortion is pretty common across the political spectrum. It's mostly a question of whether or not banning access to it is morally sound, as well as who's rights are required to take priority.
- Epileptic
- Schizophrenic
- Manic-depressive (now known as bipolar)
- Suffering from Cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy
- Deaf and/or blind
- Homosexual or "transvestites" (which at the time was used to refer to intersex and transgender people, particularly trans women)
- Anyone else considered to be idle, insane, and/or weak as per "feeblemindedness"

The right seems to largely be antiabortion, not because they believe life is sacred but instead because they find those lives useful. I'd argue genuine pro-life motives make one less far-right, not more.
I think it would be unfair to brand you as far-right because of your pro-life position. People mistake that and the German fanboy tendencies as reflective of much more when you're too motivated by compassion to fit well with the far-right.
I agree with all this.

This from TP,s post is worth reading twice, I think ...
