I addressed this last week and yahoo threatened to pull my account. So let me try it this way:
At one time in my youth, I would was inclined to be Pro-Choice. Now, as age creeps in and life becomes more precarious I lean towards the Pro-Life position. That may explain my changing my position. As I do have six children, I would say that make me a card carrying member of the Pro-Life contingent. However, I will also add two things:
At no point in the past 20 years have I felt an acceptance even within the Christian community for having a large family. It has been quite the opposite; I have often been ostracized by the Christian community for having six children. This is just part and parcel of the blatant hypocrisy at large even in the South. Let me state this in clear terms, the Church has never been supportive of large families. This whole Pro-Life stance of the Religious Right is a farce. They should be ashamed of themselves for provoking the murders of Physicians in their drive to make woman submissive to their will.
Abortion was made legal in the United States without debate by the Supreme Court7; as such it has stuck in the craw of many for years. It is, however, a legal procedure which is sanctioned in the U.S.
It is interesting to note that the Jewish community from whom the Christians inherited the scriptures does not seem inclined to abolish abortion.

Nobody is murdering babies, genius. You can't murder something that hasn't been born.
Read the decision Roe v. Wade beginning to end. That's all the education on the sbject you need...
Excerpt from decision: {It perhaps is not generally appreciated that the restrictive criminal abortion laws in effect in a majority of States today are of relatively recent vintage. Those laws, generally proscribing abortion or its attempt at any time during pregnancy except when necessary to preserve the pregnant woman's life, are not of ancient or even of common-law origin. Instead, they derive from statutory changes effected, for the most part, in the latter half of the 19th century.
Ancient attitudes. These are not capable of precise determination. We are told that at the time of the Persian Empire abortifacients were known and that criminal abortions were severely punished. We are also told, however, that abortion was practiced in Greek times as well as in the Roman Era, and that "it was resorted to without scruple." The Ephesian, Soranos, often described as the greatest of the ancient gynecologists, appears to have been generally opposed to Rome's prevailing free-abortion practices. He found it necessary to think first of the life of the mother, and he resorted to abortion when, upon this standard, he felt the procedure advisable. Greek and Roman law afforded little protection to the unborn. If abortion was prosecuted in some places, it seems to have been based on a concept of a violation of the father's right to his offspring. Ancient religion did not bar abortion. }

Actually, I think people like you and that organization are hurting the cause.
Abortion is not murder because our laws (or lackthereof) don't claim it to be. So countless websites, and a bunch of screaming mobs won't change that.
If you want it changed you have to change the laws or get new laws in-acted.
Pro-choice folk have the laws on their side. They have a clinical definition of what is a fetus, and what is a viable unborn child. The best that we can do is to change people's hearts.
People rationalize. The same pro-choice people that call a fetus a parasite today in order to rationalize there position will one day have a "wanted" pregnancy, and from the moment they start to dream about that unborn child's future, it has life, and it has meaning...and what was once a parasite and a fetus is now a wanted thing.
Fetus = unwanted.
Life = wanted.
We have to get people to simply recognize they are rationalizing and then they will look at abortion in a different light AND there will be less of them.

So--- In response to your last comment.
That is your baby that you probably planned to have with your wife. Even if you didn't plan the pregnancy you are already married, in a stable relationship. Most people who have abortions aren't and most of the fetus' that are aborted would have ended up being destitute, criminals, in prison, on drugs, or beaten and killed by their parents. I would say their fate is much worse than the fate of an aborted fetus.

I don't agree with abortion but I do understand why some people do it. I feel people have a choice to do what they want with their bodies. Also it is better to have an abortion than waiting for the baby to be born and abusing it or killing it like some people have done.

Education? Try reading Roe v. Wade beginning to end.
And stop trying to change science. It's a fetus not a baby.
YOU NEED TO GET THE FACTS!
I'm so tired of these christian bigots!

I am so happy that you have found a cause. Embrace your new idea to your heart's content. BUT LEAVE MY OPTIONS ALONE!
I believe in your RIGHT to CHOOSE WHAT you believe, GIVE ME THE SAME RESPECT.
People see the face of mary in a piece of toast. People see what they want to see. It is the ALL or Nothing dogma of the prolife anti abortion anti choice section that blows my mind. there is no comprimise. SOMETIMES abortion is and should be an option--NOT THE ONLY OPTION but an option.
Just my opinion

It is wrong to kill a life... the only thing I would condone is the "Morning After" Pill. Only because it just makes the female have a period, and it happens before the embrio forms... so it's not like killing a life. And, I mean if you were raped, or had a broken condom.
Abortion is not a good thing.

If you really expect to further your cause, the LAST thing you should be promoting is education.
What you really want is propoganda that appeals to emotion and ignorance rather than fact.

Tell that to the women who were victims of rape and incest; I'm sure they really give a **** what buffman316 has to say about the choices they should and shouldn't make in a situation they didn't choose to begin with.
