There isn't a reason. Some people are stubborn, and a lot of people are apathetic.
I am definitely apathetic on this issue. Both sides have valid arguments, however both sides have absurd arguments which prevent me from really caring about this issue.

TBH, I'm effectively a neutral on the whole issue with a favoring towards pro-life. I mean, so much of it comes down to technicalities and questions that can't be simply answered or even scientifically answered that even figuring out what is being talked about is difficult. I mean, let's go with the whole 'when is it actually alive' thing.

If you're pro-choice then it clearly seems like a bunch of religious whackos who hate women are trying to punish her and restrict her sexuality simply because she's a woman by forcing her to spend nine months taking a non-living clump of cells and raising it into a baby which will then likely hold her back for eighteen or more years all simply because she had the audacity to have sex one night and a condom broke. Likewise if you're pro-life then it clearly seems like a bunch of hedonistic whackos want to kill babies and dodge responsibility so they can proceed to engage in full-on orgies and just abort any 'accidents' that happen. Does life begin at conception? Hard to say at best. Even if it could be determined when there is no denying that the fetus WOULD have become a living, breathing, human being (assuming no issues arose, yea yea). And when does it get considered to be 'alive' anyways? Conception? When it can survive outside the mother? Birth? 93rd trimester? Likewise a lot of the people weighing in on the situation are men whom will never have to deal with the issue of the unwanted pregnancy. They can have as much sex as they desire and not have to worry about getting pregnant.

That's not to mention you most certainly have religious whackos who hate women and people who would utterly abuse the system to skirt responsibility. If you are pro-life you should agree that the people championing your cause shouldn't be the ones who see women as nothing more than talking oven/washing machine combinations. Likewise, if you are pro-life you shouldn't want the people championing your cause being people who would ignore all responsibility and reason so they can act like spoiled little ******; especially if you don't want it just legal but paid for by tax payers.

Heck, I'd say that it's even more complicated as I sort of see there being THREE sides at this point. The pro-life, pro-choice, and pro-abortion groups. The difference between the latter two being that the first merely wants it legal but basically used sparingly if not as a last resort while the other wants it as free and unrestricted as possible.
