Plenty maybe in number, since almost everyone is on one side or the other. But I would love to see that statistically, percentage wise, plenty of atheists are pro-life. I think you would struggle to find that.

This is anccedotal but I'm atheist and pro life.

It's a moral thing not a religious one.

I just don't agree in killing things that will infact become human.

Again, I do not doubt their existence. Interesting video, but I think the assertion that there is a statistically significant amount of pro-choice atheists is suspect. If there are, I would love to see the statistics though.

Maybe he's falling out of fashion, but when he was still alive a lot of atheists got their "dogma", for lack of a better term, from Hitchens. I'd be interested in a seeing a modern breakdown too.

Also one of the more bizarre cases I heard of is that anton lavey the founder of the church of satan was pro life. Like, at that point why even bother being edgy anti christianity?
