I have to agree with Finer-Woman-10-A-91 that as a culture, there is not the condoning of abortions (as is with other cultures), the same is similar for Latino/a's in that, abortion is usually looked at more unfavorably than having the children out of wedlock. I think the bigger issue, as someone else stated is the REAL sin, which I think left out? attested to. That is pre-marital sex, itself. Many of us are guilty of that sin. THAT is in fact, the real sin in this whole issue. So a person sins and has pre-marital sex then gets preggers, for some, an abortion is not even an option. For many women, however, it is. What many don't realize is that the TRUE sin has already been committed, the sex, out of wedlock, in the first place. Many of us have done this and just been "LUCKY" enough NOT to get pregnant or we have abortions and pretend we've never been there before so we can look down our noses at the other people who did have children and blame the community for "condoning" the births of these children, who are indeed blessings.
I do agree that Eclipse and someone else were basically saying that it would seem like a person with a child may decide to wait if not for the simple fact of not being able to devote the proper amount of time to either, the Sorority or the baby. Also, no one should have to CHOOSE between the two. I do know, from experience, that a tight support system (this includes the baby's dad/husband)can make it possible, to the fullest.
