since pro-lifers weren't invited to the party, here's a thread for us (but don't worry, pro-choicers, you are all welcome here....just keep it civil, please) we all know i am pro-life, but with heavy connections to pro-choicers and those who have had abortions. all my friends are liberals. don't understand why.
i've said this in other abortion threads, but i guess i can say it again here. keep in mind this is my
opinion, ok? ok...this may seem harsh:
i think that while ppl have their reasons for having an abortion, it does boil down to what is best for
them, not really the child. "oh, i can't handle the pregnancy" or "oh i can't handle the thought of giving my baby up for adoption" or all the "what if's".....followed by "it was best for the child" and every so often a small acknowledgement that it was "best for me, too." it's just a selfish thing. and i think terminating a pregnancy b/c something may be "wrong" with the baby is horrifying. so....special needs children are unnecessary? they shouldn't be given the same rights as other children? wow....hi, hitler. nice ta know ya. [**not calling ANYONE hitler....merely making reference that he wasn't in favor of special needs, and i doubt there are many who want the same values as him**] that whole thought process gives way to thinking that if a baby is healthy, someone would think more about giving birth to them than if they were "unhealthy".....do you at least see how that could be interpreted, and how SCARY that is? so what, we're gonna eventually be able to figure out ppl's IQ in the womb, and if it's not high enough, and if i don't know for sure how i feel about having this baby,
that would be the deciding factor????
"well, he's gonna be stupid and hard to manage......eh, too hard for me and he might have a hard life, so looks like abortion time" 
ya know what? everyone goes through hard times in life, whether you are healthy or not. your nose could be too big, you could be too fat/skinny, flat chested, scrawny, and KIDS ARE CRUEL. that makes life hard. or, you or a loved one becomes ill with a fatal disease, or someone is hurt in a car accident, ISHT HAPPENS. for ppl who are all about ppl having the right to choose, why not give ppl the
ultimate right to choose how to live their life by allowing them to LIVE in the first place?
it's not as if i don't sympathize or feel compassion for these women going through these things.....i just find it funny when democrats/liberals refer to themselves as "bleeding hearts" and then they can't even have a heart for a defensless child. then there's ppl getting in the way of JUSTICE b/c a pregnant woman was killed, and the baby dies as well....but they only want the murderer sentenced for ONE life not TWO, even though TWO were lost. why? b/c it might over-turn roe vs. wade. appalling.
it's at this point, i would like to add the phrase "in my honest opinion". thank you.
i realize not everyone sees things as i do......that abortion is selfish. i realize that some ppl see it as a brave thing for a woman to spare her child this harsh world and the harsh reality that it may have to face. but, if we look at every un-wanted or un-planned pregnancy that way, then we should have never known malcolm x, nancy reagan, nat king cole, faith hill, nelson mandela, and sorry for bringing up the name, but Jesus. (i refer to a list of adopted celebs on
adoption.com...it's an interesting site). but i do agree that not every woman is up for being a mother raising a child.
however, that does not mean that a woman cannot give birth.
that's all of my rant for now....until i am flamed, i guess.
comment away.
