^ That was for Bells.
Oh absolutely Bri. I seem to remember that my legs were the ones in the air, and I did love her father to absolute distraction. There was no way I could have done that in good conscience. She was indeed a very precious gift. She taught me patience, unconditional love and great understanding. I — being a Momma. Pass a tissue please.

I blame society for putting such a terrible light on it for so damn long.
There's no way not to make it seem terrible... :/

I read the first few posts and decided to post my response then go read it because I keep wanting to say the same thing to the screen.
First, the idea of abortion being wrong except in cases of rape, incest, etc is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. You are against the idea of violently murdering a poor innocent unborn child... unless his father was an asshole? So if your father robs a bank tomorrow and beats up an old lady, we can come to your work smash in your skull and vacuum up the remains just because your father is an asshole?
Second, what is wrong with letting someone adopt the kids if you don't want it? I know someone is going to bring up something about all the unadopted babies we have now but that is an argument about the adoption process that shouldn't be mixed up here, yes they need it fix adoption. While there are babies waiting, there are also families that cannot adopt because daddy got arrested for pot 12 years ago when he was 18. Why can't that family have a kid?
I have a hard time taking a side on this because I am very much a "leave me alone and I'll leave you alone" type. On the other hand I also limit an individuals personal rights as "my rights end where your nose begins". Do what you want as long as you aren't impacting anyone else. Who am I to tell someone what they can and cannot do? If I want to get so drunk I can't move and decide I need to just go to bed... that's fine as long as I don't come over and try to pass out in your bed.
So yes, personally I am against abortion... however, I will never be pregnant so who cares?
That said, I think I will take the seldom heard stance of Pro-Abortion. That's right pro-abortion not pro-choice. Go talk someone into it. My commute to work is long enough without you and "this guy I know"'s eight kids driving around too.

One thought of mine is how come none of these pro-lifers want to feed,cloth,raise, and financially provide for unborn babies who are to be aborted? I mean they want them here so bad, no matter if they're gonna live in poverty, going from foster home to foster home to be abused and god knows what else.. But they want them here just to say we have another human in the world. Bullshit to me. Then they complain about the people going in there pockets, but they wanted them here so bad. Just my observation. They don't care if the baby will have a mother and father or even a mother who is stable and able to care for that child. No one should have any right to make anyone become a parent when they're not ready. And I don't see how some are so strongly against abortion then turn around and say but if this or that happens then its ok... bullshit.

Why do we worry so much about abortions? When in sad reality whether it's Pro-Choice or Pro-Life we're always creating wars to kill each other and cause unnecessary bloodshed and suffering? HUH?! Something to think about before anyone opens their yap....First let's think of all those that are actually here. Those that can make the decisions. The day leaders fight their own wars that'll be the day all wars would stop.
That is all loyal subjects.
Truly,
Your Pisces King.

themes that I hear from hard core pro choice folks are summarized in the post Lady Libra made.
Posted by LadyLibra12
** Abortion is the WOMAN'S choice. If a woman decides to tell her partner, and there is a disagreement, the WOMAN ONLY should be able to make the final choice, since it is HER body.
** There should be NO forced parental consent or spousal/partner consent.
The part about these comments that bothers me is that the people making these statements is very feminist... in whatever negative stigma you have attached to that word. Not the civilized equality thing, the "down with the oppressive man" type. Very few will admit to being this type. They will try to say it is about equality, we have to be fair... right?
I assume then that should the woman decide to keep the child she would be the only one responsible for what came out of her body right? Could we say...
** Having the baby is the WOMAN'S choice. If the woman decides to keep the baby, and there are financial problems, the WOMAN ONLY should be responsible, since it was HER choice.
** There should be NO forced parental support or spousal/partner support.
Side note: before I get hatemail... I am not supporting deadbeat dads here!

** No one should have the right to protest in front of abortion clinics/any type of abortion care provider, nor should anyone be allowed to commit any acts of violence or harassment against anyone involved in the abortion process.
** Abortion should always be covered by healthcare so that everyone woman has this choice available to her.
** I'm against all Catholic hospitals and any other religious hospital that denies a woman her right to choose.
** There should be no stigma about abortion: people should NOT judge a woman who has had one or more abortions.

You are asking to legislate your opinion that we should not legislate someone elses opinion?
** How can you protest someones right to protest? (the violence and harassment is already illegal)
** Isn't the government into health care enough already?
** Protect your right to choice at the expense of mine?
** We still have stigmas against... well... everything. People are always gonna dislike what each other do, look like, believe, whatever...

fund the teaching of personal responsibility instead of the right to choose.click to expand

what world are you living in? apparently one with not much accountability.
Posted by BellaBulleautiful
so the people you know are basically to ignorant to be taught personal responsibility?

and how the hell do you figure PREVENTING so many unwanted pregnancies is dumb in the first place—?

Posted by BellaBulleautifulPosted by MsPisces.
I'm all for logical solutions. But see, where you think there is a problem with abortion, I don't. And that's fine that you do, that's not what I'm arguing. The only problem I see is the misinformation, and intolerance due to plain ignorance.
The only thing I don't agree with is late term abortions, and from what I know, most places won't do them anyway.
but you don't think it would be better to just eliminate some of the need for abortion?
I know you think I'm ignorant,and I also do you ....but what I can't grasp is why you think all the unplanned pregnancies seem to be ok in the first place.I just can't get down to where you are coming from,so I guess it's a draw for you and I.click to expand

Fwiw, I think emergency contraceptives are a great advancement.
yes,right up there with the kind that keep it from happening at all *smh*
it's cool how the emergancy ones are never forgotten though....click to expand

I don't think its dumb at all. I'm all for contraceptives. I'm saying 'funding the teaching of personal responsibility' is dumb, because it was said as if we don't already do that, but more importantly, as if it would fix the problem to the point of totally eliminating the need for abortions.
I also don't like the implications behind that statement, because it makes the woman out to be a bad person for being human and making a mistake.
everyone makes mistakes...it's what we do with them that makes us good or bad.sorry if you have personal feelings involved.
and my biggest problem as I have repeatedly said,is HOW MANY mistakes seem to be being made.click to expand
Posted by BellaBulleautiful
ok,that's where we disagree.I don't care about laws,I care about prevention.and I care about the obvious misuse of abortion.
Posted by BellaBulleautifulPosted by MsPisces.
I'm 27, so of course women my age will be very aware of something that affects a huge part of being a young woman...her need to reproduce.
Your point?
not to be nit picky....but do you realize the oxymoron of that statement?click to expand

I'm sorry King Peri 😄 I went back on my word ^_^. I'll keep it next time around.
Doesn't matter. Today is a sad day. Many a battle have been lost. I even banned the LOLz.click to expand

Exactly. Whether we argee with it or not, is our own business. I dislike a lot of the comments here, because I think they're based in ignorance, but that's my own issue. Everyone has a right to an opinion, just as everyone has the right to CHOOSE to do what they will with their bodies. That is the beauty of America.
