I just bought 2 pro-life t-shirts. My fiance thinks it is completely ridiculous and a waste of money. I explained that I bought them because I wanted to wear them. He on the other hand think it it stupid and I shouldn't ever wear them (he's pro-coice by the way). I feel there is nothing wrong with showing your beliefs peacefully. His mother is a devowed Christian and wears Christian shirts all the time. He hates George Bush and wears anti-Bush shirts. Why is should my opinion be looked at differently?

devowed should have said devoted and the second it should be "is"

Sweet, I was 17 when I got pregnant, had a father who thought would kick my butt but didn't. I didn't want a child either. Changed my mind once I saw my beautiful daughter on the sonogram machine though....anyways...I wasn't asking for other people's decisions on this topic, just on the fact that it shouldn't matter what someone's t-shiirt says.

I'm pro-choice. I think if that's what you believe and something you are passionate about--wear it.
It defiantly beats wearing a "I'm cute and I know it" t-shirt, if you know what I mean!
What's life without passion?

Your right, but your husband wont get it. Some people are trying to make this a pro-life / pro-choice matter. Its not about that, its been established what you are and what he is. The issue is is whether or not you are right to wear a shirt that disturbs your husband.
He is your husband, and as such you should respect his feelings to a certain extent. Actually, I should say, there should be a mutual respect amongst the two of you. The shirt bothers him, now, is it the shirt itself and what it displays, or is it the principal that he doesnt have the same beliefs that you have, and thats alright as long as you dont flaunt them in his face or to his friends
I think, you should have the right to wear the shirts, but only because you say he wears shirt displaying what he believes. In that case fair is fair. If he didn't do that, maybe you should consider, believing what you believe, and supporting the causes in other ways without upsetting your husband in the mean time. But like I said if he feels he can do it...go for yours!

You can wear what you want, my view of it is, There might be a woman walking who had to have an abortion, because either she was raped, her parents made her, it was life threatening to keep the pregnancy... Although, it might have not been her fault as to having the abortion, She might see your shirt, either she could be one of your friends and never confide in you because she might think you'll hate her, or it could be a stranger who might feel worst!!! People are going to do what they want or need to do regardless!!! So it depends, how you view it, I don't think people should use abortion as birth control, but some people have valid reasons and I don't think anyone can say anything about it if they don't know anything about the situation, but I don't want to hurt someone who had no choice by wearing a shirt!!!

I say everyone has the right to wear whatever they believe in...But I want to know what would you do if you were a teen and got pregnant ?You had a father that u know would kick your a s s if he found out...Plus you really don't want the child.Plus there wasn't any legal way to get an abortion.These children would go to whom ever they could to get the job done...It use to happen alot when it wasn't legal to have abortion and many young teens died over this.....I say give the woman the right to make her own decision....

You can wear whatever you want. I bet if you were pro-choice as he is and bought two of those shirts he wouldnt have said a thing. He is mad because your feelings on the subject are not the same as his. Boo hoo for him. If he is so pro-choice then why is he pestering you about your clothing choice, lol. Wear em all the time just to aggravate him, jk.

You know, if you want to wear the shirts...you go right ahead and wear them!!!! And good for you for sticking up for your beliefs!!! It shouldn't matter if you think the earth is flat and you want to wear a t-shirt promoting the idea, your fiance should support you, after all you support him!!!!

It isn't a question of who is right (you or your BF). Both of your opinions matter.
Pro lifers project an image & your man is not happy with that image. I think that bespeaks a lot about your relationship.

Who cares what kind of shirt you wear? Freedom of expression! You have as much right to your opinion as anyone else.

Its your shirt!! Maybe people are offended by his mother promoting her Christianity or by him dissing Bush. We have soldiers in Iraq fighting for our freedom to do and say as we please, so take advantage of it!

If it is going on your body, and it's what you believe in, then wear it! Anybody who may be offended by it doesnt have to look at it.
