Thank you La La I love you more now. And the crack babies that no one wants. It's heartbreaking I see it everyday.

Answer 1

Thank you for this question!!

I am in the same boat...While the subject is gut wrenching no matter HOW you look at it..I am like you...I am very passionate about the subject. I can see points from both sides.

I have stared this monster in the face personally in my lifetime. As I will never in be able to say that I fully understand "how someone feels" who has directly experienced this most difficult event....I know how difficult it was, to be close to several people in my life that have had to go through the mental and physical struggles of that decision.

The one thing that sends me into an almost blind rage is some holier than thou.....self righteous, Bible thumper clouding reason and logic with their voodoo and their religion...

I'm not aiming to make this answer some load of political cr*p...I guess what I'm trying to say is this....

There are many MANY people that stand with you on this two sided....endless conflict....and I am one of them.

I understand totally why you wanted to keep this fairly secret for now! I definitely do! You have a right to be angry, for sure. You trusted people with very special information, and they blew that trust totally out of the water. Having said that, I guess the decision you need to make is - is this situation worth potentially wrecking some relationships. If you throw a fit or something like that, likely someone will be hurt (along with you still) and that will probably lead to continued hurt feelings. My advice is that you should talk to the people that you told (and asked not to say anything) and explain to them how they have hurt you. After that, you need to decide what to do. Either let it go or hold onto it, obviously the damage is done, and when it comes down to it - YOU are the one you need to worry about, well, you and your partner. Good luck with this crappy situation!

I'll answer ur question and i'm sure you'll hate me. I am not prochoice, never have been and never will be. And to LaLA, you'd be surprised. One of my best friends had a baby by the guy who rapded her. And she lives every day happily. Her and her son are very close and she ooks at him no different than I do any of my children. Now, having said that, rape, incest, mothers life in danger, etc...those are the ONLY times, I would even consider abortion. However, I don't even think I'd support it then. But its easy to say that now since the situation isn't actually in front of me. What gets me with abortion is this. If I kill a pregnant woman and the baby dies, I get 2 murder charges. But that same mother can have an abortion and it isn't considered murder. How the hell is that even possible? Is that NOT a double standard? NOw that I have rambled on, allow me to say this. This IS America, and our soldiers ARE over there dying EVERY DAY in order to give us freedom......freedom of choice, freedom of religion, freedom of speach , and so on and so on and so on. So until abortion is illegalized, women should be allowed to have them without having to worry about the clinic being blown up, being attacked, etc. Because as of now it IS legal. WHether or not we support it is irrelevant, it IS legal.....for now.

Answer 4

That is a touchy topic for most.
I (personally) just don't share my opinions on those topics to avoid confrontation. Same for politics or religious matters. I care not what anyone elses stance is - I believe that everyone has the right to have their own opinions (and I really don't care what they are nor would I judge them for them) and I suppose I just expect the same respect in return. I feel those things are greatly personal - and I never share mine nor do I ask another for their own. I prefer to get to know folks beneath all of those things - and not based on those things. They just get too heated as they are personal - so I believe best just kept that way. I'm sure you weren't an idiot - just felt strongly on your position. We all do - as they're our positions - lol. Hope the drink helped! Have one for me too cuz TGIF

Answer 5

Probably because you are closed minded. Which is interesting for someone who is supposedly 'pro-choice'.

It is possible that you are reacting to fear that other people may actually have valid points that led them to their beliefs. Or perhaps, you don't believe that you can adequately argue your points, so you use anger to sort of bully people into aquiescing.

Then you use alcohol to dull the pain? Well, not actively listening and contributing to discussion about an issue without blowing up is a sign of alcoholism.

Very interesting, introspective question. Thank you for asking.


Oh, and La La Land - not all rape victims are pro-choice. Some of us have thought about this and decided that children should not be tortured and put to death for the actions either of their parents. I have noticed that when we convict a rapist in this country, we don't seek out all his other children and kill them.
Yes, I am aware that it sucks for the rape victim. But two wrongs still don't make a right.

Answer 6

People who are willing to accept other possibilities besides their opinion, ironically, have a hard time accepting the possibility another person wont accept something outside their realm of knowledge. I do it, too.

Answer 7

HEY! If you want people to respect your views and opinions, learn to listen to others and show respect in return....

We're not going to get along, or even agree with everyone.

Thank you...the bell has rung and school is out, you may be excused.....

Answer 8

the root cause of your anger is the discrepency between your expectations and reality. If you start trying to accept things outside of your control as they are, you should not be angry with them anymore.

Answer 9

This subject has deep moral implications and convictions. You cannot fault someone for doing and beliving what their conscience dictates.

Answer 10

because you ARE pro-choice and being so , know that the ones that aren't are not ,necessarily, thinking past what is good for anybody but themselves.
