First, please let me say that, regardless of how touchy this issue is, I'm glad that black women are expressing themselves on this issue because it is without a doubt important.
Me By Nature,
Wow, don't be thin skinned, I did not post my facts and thoughts to offend anyone. It's just too many times people make assumptions or pass judgement on people, when they have no place and/or when it is not their job(especially since humans are not perfect) to throw stones.
My intent was to type up a post that would open people's eyes, if they did not have an idea. I do not post things that are rude, ignorant, or to offend people, that takes AWAY the focus from my main point.
Like I said before(and please throw out versus if there are any), if there is anything that refers to "abortion" in the bible and please do not offend me or waste my time by questioning my faith and bond with god(That is between the great one and I), let me know where I can look.
But from my research, with ministers and my paster(at bible study, by the way), there was no reference.
Not to mention, the issue of when a fetus becomes a baby is quite unclear, some people believe that right after incourse or once the sperm meets the egg, then there is a baby. So that in itself is complicating.
But I will say this, sometimes we need to be aware of our priviledges; we have loving families that took(or still take) good care of us. But I feel, if a child is going to be born to a severe drug addict, be found in a garbage bin, or physically or psychologically abused, don't have any.
Someone on the board asks, do pro-choice supporters support pre-marital sex. That's an interesting question. Life is about choices and if we lived in a perfect world, maybe abortions and pre-marital sex wouldn't exist.
Last, I will say this, I don't want women dying because they didn't have a choice and they had to get an illegal abortion. I don't want a married women becoming suicidal because her and her husband gave birth to a dead child that had no brains or who's organs developed on the outside of it's poor body. Like I said, life is about choices, some you agree with, some you don't, but that person has to have a choice.
