I, who am also pro-choice, think the women should have the choice of abortion. I mean, if they feel guilty afterwards it's their fault, right? Or if they don't want to have anything to do with a child, but they didn't have the choice of abortion, only adoption...when the kid eventually gets older he/she may want to look for their mother. Which may cause hurt feelings...etc...etc...whatever.

Like I've said before, I know many adopted kids who are against abortion. They are very glad their mothers had them. Having hurt feelings is a heck of a lot better than being dead.

I'm not going to say much into the debate even though I'm pro-life because I'm sure I'll say something that's already been said 12708210 times.
However, something I find kinda amusing in an odd sense.
Women say the "fetus" inside them is "their body" and it's *their decision alone*, but the moment this same thing is born, they're nagging for the male to pay for it and help raise it. Talk about a DOUBLE STANDARD to me.

^^Naru, nice to see you! It's not just their body, but another little body inside theirs. That body should matter just as much, but I think we've already talked about that. Again, nice to see you! ;D ;D ;D

*waves to girlpoet21* hiya ^______^ Nice to see ya here too hehe.
I totally agree. That's a reason why I am pro-life. I look at the baby as a human being that's important like the mother, not just a stack of cells that some people look at it as.

I am pro-choice. I think a woman should have evry right to choose. I personally would NEVER have an abortion, but I don't know what I would think if I was pregnant and didn't want the baby. I think women should choose, but that they should know that they are taking away the possibility for a child to grow and have a life at this time (I belive in reincarnation).
Dunno if my opinion was clear... I hope so...

"I totally agree. That's a reason why I am pro-life. I look at the baby as a human being that's important like the mother, not just a stack of cells that some people look at it as. "
If the woman did get an abortion, who's to say she wouldn't regret it every day of her life? Just because she does get an abortion doesn't mean she thinks of it as, as you put it, a stack of cells. What it means is that she is taking her options into consideration, which she should have the right to do whether or not we agree with it. If she does regret her decision, don't you think she'll suffer enough for it without pro-life activists nagging at her her entire life?

<<she'll suffer enough for it without pro-life activists nagging at her her entire life? >>
I dont know about other people but I would never "nag" at someone for a past abortion if they are truly sorry for their action. I would try to persuede her to repent and never become in such a situation again. But I cannot speak for all, only me. God will sit in judgement of her action, and not I.

Lady-Naru never said she thought all people who had an abortion thought of them as a stack of cells. What she said was that *some* people think of them as a stack of cells. She never mentioned anything about women who'd had abortions. Pettyluv-I agree! I would refer them to a post abortion help group or retreat, such as the ones given by Rachel's Vineyard. I know people who've had abortions, and now very much regret them, and I try to help them, not hurt or *nag* them. I do feel very badly for women who've made that choice. The majority of pro-lifers aren't nagging, we're trying to save lives. We don't aim to make people suffer, we do try to help post-abortive women, as evidenced by groups like Rachel's Vineyard. Naru-good for you!!!!!

"If the woman did get an abortion, who's to say she wouldn't regret it every day of her life? Just because she does get an abortion doesn't mean she thinks of it as, as you put it, a stack of cells."
Where did I put that all women who got an abortion think that way? I didn't. I didn't even mention anything about women who get an abortion. @_@
"What it means is that she is taking her options into consideration, which she should have the right to do whether or not we agree with it. If she does regret her decision, don't you think she'll suffer enough for it without pro-life activists nagging at her her entire life?"
I wouldn't nag her, I'd let her deal with it. I'd try to help her, and maybe like someone said. Push her to join some kind of program to help women in her position who regret their abortions, but ultimately I'd let God judge her, not me.
THANK YOU once again girlpoet21. I totally agree with you, and pettyluv. ^__^

If I just got out of the doctors office and found out I was about 3 weeks pregnant, then was walking on the sidewalk, and some guy hit me with his car and killed me. He would be tried for 2 cases of man-slaughter. Yet if that very same day, I didn't get hit, and went and got an abortion, it's okay. How come that unborn child was considered enough of a person for the one who hit me to be tried to 2 cases of man-slaughter, but yet when it was my decision, it was okay?
I think if you have sex, unprotected, or protected, you should realize there is a chance of getting pregnant. If you want to drop your underwear, you should think of what could happen.

naru-anytime! slurbi- I agree to that! Unfortunately, it took us forever to get that law through, and it's not even in a lot of states. Now, we just need to work on the rest. Thanks for posting your opinion, and just to tell you, I welcome you over to the Pro-Life Network in the "clubs" section. ;D

"Unfortunately, it took us forever to get that law through, and it's not even in a lot of states. Now, we just need to work on the rest." The rest of what? Legislating MY morality? Telling ME what to do with MY own body?! No no NO!!!!! Pro-lifers will do nothing of the sort. They can think abortion is wrong all they want, but please, stay out of my womb! This was not intended as a personal attack, so please don't say that. Thank you for listening.

^^Actually, it's not invading your womb, it's saving the life of a child. I don't care where that child is, you do NOT have the right to kill it. We pro-lifers will stay out of your and everyone elses womb once children are no longer being killed in them.
