Anyone else out here 100% prolife? Regardless the reasons of the pregnancy.............

*raises hand*

Right here! If you can't do the time... Don't do the crime. Seriously. I can't see how soo many adults can't have sex responsibly??!! Besides... The greatest thing any living thing can do, is to create another living, breathing, eating, thinking wonder.

AMEN! I agree! A child is a blessing, a gift and how some can say its "just" tissue..not a baby is beyond my comprehension....

All you prolifers make damn sure you don't ever have an abortion, send anyone to death with the death penalty, or go to war so you can show your ultimate and all encompassing respect for life.

But do not tramp on others rights to have choices, please, thank you.

I agree...I'm pro-choice. I'm not going to push things on others. and there are many reasons someone might have an abortion. until you are in someone elses shoes....it's very hard to say what you would do

yes, you do have a choice...thats the morality of this Country.... Thank God huh that your Momma was prolife.

I agree...no one knows the shoes of someone else and where they have walked, but does it change the fact that its still a child? NO!
Whether its through rape, incest or just an "regular" unwanted pregancy...the reasons to be there are horrible, I agree, BUT its still the same child...adoption, not abortion!

have you been in that position???? I have. I chose to keep my son...but I know how unbearable it could be for others. who are you to impose that sentence on someone? if a woman is desperate enough...she will find a way whether it's legal or not. it happened when it was illegal and many bled to death and died horribly

but you did seem to pass over dragoness' statement about the death penalty and war

where's carol anne....carol anne!!!!!! god is in his holy temple!!!




in rape, or medical reasons the mother should at least be able to choose......




now where's carrol anne!!!!!

My mom is pro choice, so I can be glad she chose to have me.

Pro life means you respect all life so no death penalty and no wars, right?

You could actually take that to another level and stop killing animals for food too, right?

Pro all life or just those you choose are worthy?

i'm off to bed...but i can say that i, personally, am completely pro-life.

and yes, that means that i'm anti-death penalty, anti-war...and a complete vegetarian.

A innocent child has no voice! War isnt good, but it happens, death penalty..I'm not sure where I stand on that, but I wouldnt want to be the one taking a last breath from someone that way..but yet, As adults we have choices and their are consequeses.
Yes, I have been in that position...Each time i was pregant I had a "choice"..I decided to keep my babies even tho I was alone and had no father there during 2 ofthe pregnancies..and during one of them not at all even after and to this day his "dad" hasnt been in the picture...there are always "choices" ...unfortunatly for a lot of people the choice they make is a selffish one..adoption is the most selfless act of love...not killing your child!

if you want to be pro-life...that is GREAT...but don't impose your views on everyone else. you say you were a single mom...and YES...you made a choice...but I didn't see that you were in any other situation except the fathers weren't around.

even if someone is in your position....there are many other scenerios that might be different. maybe they have strict parents that are cruel....maybe they were scare and didn't know what else to do. and again...there is rape and incest.

unless you are in another persons shoes...please don't tell others how they should feel and what to do. that isn't fair at all

I will say one more thing....after I was married, we decided to have a child. we were married, financially in a good place and everything. during the pregnacy I found out I had a hereditary blood disease and the baby wasn't developing and wouldn't have survived. I kept getting sicker and weaker and could have died myself. I had an abortion. It is NOT an easy procedure. It is painful, both physically and emotionally.

so I know the rape and medical side of this issue and I couldn't force my beliefs on someone else having been through that.

if you feel it's wrong...that is fine, but that is for YOU...not others.

I cant tell anyone what to do or make any decisions for them, I just hope to inform and educate people that there ARE other options than abortion...there are resources out there....Abortion just doesnt stop at the act of ending the pregnancy...its an emotional life long decision that a person has to live with forever. My beliefs arent everyones...but if I can help possibly save one innocent life by encouraging a woman/young girl to rethink the act of abortion, I will do it...thats my calling as a Christian among many other things. I didnt say the reasons a person may be pregnant were right at all..but doesnt change the fact that the child growing in her is still that same child and that it is a part of her..

I do know this better than you. I am a Christian as well...but I know not to force my beliefs on others.

but if this country makes it illegal again...then we would have the same problems as before. many women would bleed to death and die of infections. it's a horrible death. and if the only reason for making it illegal is religious beliefs...this country can NOT do that. there are many people out there with different religious beliefs. and scientist can't even agree on if the fetus is just tissue until a certain stage or a baby. that's when OUR minds and hearts decide for ourselves. some believe the fetus is nothing more than tissue until a certain stage...others don't

and I assure you that people in this situation know the alternatives. I made a list of the pro's and con's to adoption, abortion and keeping my son. and this was 18 years ago. people know the choices. but after being raped or a victim of incest (unless you have been there personally) you can't possibly know what they are going through.

if pro-life is for you....that is fine

Wow! I'm glad I dodged the bullet on my opinnion. But I will say this... My statement was pertaining exclusively to those mothers, and fathers that never wanted children, but could also care less to practice safe sex. I believe it's selfish for someone to take the life of even a bundle of cells at that point... All because it felt better without a condom? And like I said... If they're adult enough to have sex... Shouldn't they act like adults by taking responsibility for their actions? Part of the problem with the world, and humanity... Is that people don't think, and realize that there are consequences for certain actions... But hey! It felt good! Right? lol! I do also agree... It's different with rape victims... But at least consider it's still a human being inside there.

I agree with your right to your beliefs. just pointing out it's not for everyone.

I do have an issue about those that use it as birth control. I think there should be counseling before and after to maybe help them make better choices. because I know later in life....most will regret what they did and it will affect them.

but as far as like a one time thing....the girl may have had delusions that her and the father would be together and such and when it fell apart...she got very scared. raising a child alone is scarey.

Yet another very valid point. I agree Single parenting is scary as hell! But there is adoption...
