In response to another question. I wish these people would just volunteer to adopt all these babies they don't want aborted. But, they just want to get on their high horse and tell someone - possibly someone who has been raped for crying out loud - what they should do. But, they won't take the baby themselves or donate money so the Mom could give it a good life. As long as they can preach but not act, right?

Malea - I don't think that you get that I was exaggerating to make a point.

Abortion as last resort, but not for me to tell another what her choice should be. It is so easy for someone to preach against choice when it doesn't affect them personally.
My question to these people is "How many unwanted, drug addicted, diseased, deformed children of rape or incest have YOU adopted?" If the answer is one or more, maybe I will still disagree with you, but at least you walk the talk and should be taken seriously. If none, then you take care of your business and I'll take care of mine.
Thanks for the forum, Prof-2-B. You got a star from me.
Namaste,

Not every one is cut out to be a parent or an adoptive parent. Pro aborton choice or not. Generally rape does not end in a pregnancy for several reasons and about one in 4 pregnancies naturally ends in a miscarriage anyway. Now that being said...I can not stand people who are so pushy about their opinion that abortion is wrong for whatever reason that they insist another woman do what they want..or not do what they dont want them to do. THe fact is that abortions are legal and the important thing in my mind anyway is that women who make that decision for whatever reason (most in my experience do so with a heavy heart) do it with all available information and do so wisely and safely and are offered other choices and the information surrounded ALL of her available choices risks as well as benefits. I am a birth mother to one adopted child and mom to 4 children, I have never aborted and would not choose to for myself. I do respect the fact it is legal and understand that women face the choice daily and the majority do not do it lightly. The statement that people adopting chldren who are aborted would solve or change the situation is kind of silly since this would not. Women would still abort even if others offered to adopt the chld they carried, just ask them.

I am PRO-CHOICE! I am not (necessarily) pro-abortion. I do not need to be. I am not pregnant, and if I were, no one is insisting I have an abortion.
I am 100% in favor of the woman who's body it is making an informed decision, for HERSELF! From ALL the options!
This is an ever-after decision. No one but the woman who is pregnant knows what this pregnancy means to and for her. They don't need to know! It is her business! It is NOT the business of her neighbors, coworkers, political represenatives, clergy, etc., etc. etc.
Can you imagine if MEN were the ones to become pregnant, that ANY of this would EVER have been an issue?
Of course not! The idea that ANYone else be able to dictate what a man -any man- can, ought, can not, or ought not do with his own body is absurd!
If men are so all-fired interested in the welfare of a fetus, let them shut up, suck it up, and step up! to suport the children they have ALREADY fathered! THEN I'll be -maybe- interested in hearing what they have to say on this issue!
Alternately, just as soon as a man -any man- becomes pregnant, he may handle HIS pregnancy as he sees fit!
I am sooooo sick of the people "out there" who think they know how EVERYone should live! Especially the politicians! They blather on and on about morality. Oh, yes? Wait until HIS 14-year-old daughter comes home pregnant! I'll bet you whatever amount you'd care to wager that will be a "DIFFERENT" story.
It should NOT be the business of GOVERNMENT!
It shoud be ONLY the business of the woman who is pregnant, and (in-so-far as her HEALTH is concerned) that of her DOCTOR!
My morality should not be imposed on someone else, when the decision effects NOT ME, but that SOMEONE ELSE, and ONLY that someone else.
It makes no difference if I, or my sister, or niece, or Mother or ANYONE has had -blah-blah-blah- happen to her, and she lost the baby; can't have a baby; etc.,etc. etc!!!
That has NOTHING! to do with some other woman's life, and that woman's prenancy!
I have a question for all these people who think a pregnant woman -who does NOT want to give birth to this child- should be
forced to have-and of course, care for, provide for, and RAISE!- the afore-mentioned child....
WHO IS THAT GOOD FOR?? Certainly NOT the child!
Unwanted children are, among other things, the children who very often grow up so aleinated, so detached and disconnected from others that they are frequently the next generation of criminal. (That they do not ALL turn out that way is a testament to the woman who raised them, in SPITE! of her wishes...)
So. What is that? Wait 18 years and THEN kill them? Bah.
WE all need to mind our own business!
If you do not want an abortion, I see no one standing there ready to force you to have one! If you want to adopt a child, there is NO SHORTAGE of children to be adopted! By all means, adopt a child! I applaud the people who do so.
But, unless YOU are pregnant, it is NONE of your business!
If you ARE pregnant, only YOUR pregnancy is your concern!
Ahem. Thank you for your question. I have...um... rather strong opinions on the subject. That will end "sermonette" for today. }:>

Most people can't even imagine walking in the shoes of someone who is in a troubled situation. Imagine not having the support you need. Abortion should not be birth control, but some people do use it that way. If it wasn't legal, women would still have them, although it would be dangerous if we didn't have the standards we do. Hopefully those who don't believe in it will never be put in that situation.

i totally agree....honestly, there are certain situations where i feel it is best to opt for abortion...
-if you are raped most definately...why would u want to carry a child that reminded you of the horrible deed, and then adopt it out knowing it will haunt you the rest of your life not only knowing the child is out there, but that he could have inherited the awful traits of the father that caused the urges to commit such horrible crimes...
-also, if you are a teen mother with your whole life ahead of you and nothing to offer the child when it is born, sometimes it is the best choice here as well...not only will you be in the welfare system suffering bareley making ends meet if at all (because lets face it, the resources we need are dwendling and get smaller every year) then if you were to adopt the baby out, there are so many horrible turns it could take...you may get older and more established and long for your child, seek him/her out and completely destroy the life the child has known, scarring them for life possibly....i am just rambling on and on about this because i have relatives on all sides of the fence here who have gone through each possible scenario....

Speaking outside of any political agenda, which you certainly did not suggest in your statement(?), I will simply say, I have absolutely no right to judge anyone. I do not condone abortions. But, I will not condemn those who choose to make that decision. Who am I to assume that I know anything about the woman's life experiences?

Just to clarify - the term pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. It means that a woman should be able to choose from all the possible options what is right for her. Her body, her choice.

i don't think you should tell anyone what they should do with there own body, but i think abortion is wrong, so i would never get one
but i would also not look at a woman diff if she got one, unless she was one who used it like a form of birth control, you know who they are, 8+ abortions.....

yea it is so true. i think that if somebody CAN have a baby, if theyre adults and have homes and can support it, they need to have the baby, if its a young girl who has been raped and cant support a child or even has abusive parents, i think they should have the right to abortion
