dzrose, I don't want to get in a shouting match over this as I respect ALL your posts, past and present. I am sure I will find several future posts by you that I applaud. I was a tad put off as you took every paragraph I posted and argued every point. (or so it seemed) When I read that statement, yes, it hit me hard as I can remember a dog I hit on a road and STILL "regret" I couldn't have done something to prevent it.
Nothing in this WORLD will convince one side or the other that their opinion is wrong. As passionately as one can argue that "It's MY body", others can argue NO, you're talking about TWO bodies, yours and a defenseless baby and YES, it IS a baby, make no mistake.
My examples of the government were not to imply I think the government should control or pass laws, it was merely an example of the value some people place on animals as compared to humans. Who posted-we have to protect the endangered species...there are too many people as it is..."Now, I'm sorry, but that is just "out there"-comparing a human to an ANIMAL!
Maybe it is my religous upbringing, maybe it's because I had an ultrasound during pregnancy, maybe it's because I believe from the moment of conception there is a soul. We are who we are and our beliefs are a reflection of our experieces.
As a finale note, because it's too disturbing to revisit this thread, I would like to say-
Freedom, sexual or otherwise comes with a price. Too bad some choose to make the baby pay for their own mistakes.
