That's not right!


and if you abort then you live the rest of your life stressed that you killed your child. So that and what you said shows that what is best is to wait and have sex when you are ready for parenting. At least if you have the baby you still can succeed and you will be free of guilt, it is a complete lie to say that you can't have a career because you got pregnant. With abortion there is no way you can erase from your life that you killed your baby. Abortion is irreversible damage. Having the baby when not ready is reversible damage.

most women can not. Most pre-marital relationships break up when a baby comes along.

how so?! Now you have to care for this person for at least 18 years if not longer; and you weren't necessarily done growing up yourself!

Eiri I am not replying to your instances because nothing that you said presents a strong argument.

You do not believe that both abortion and adoption can have long lasting traumatic emotional effects? (and keeping the baby too, for that metter?)

have you also not noticed that most women who conveive out of wedlock either don't marry the father, or end up divorcing him soon after?

And giving birth is most definately not reversible! How can you even imply such a thing? Adoption is also not reversible; once thie child is signed away, it is no longer yours, end of story. Pregnancy on the other hand, is reversible, with an abortion.

And fetuses aren't people. People have personalities, and thoughts and emotions. A developting fetus simply can not, biologically.

i very much agree with you .Eiri! She has never been in a situation like that where the baby is miserable and not taken care of correctly or lives on life support until the final decision is made, she has never walked in people's shoes where the fetus and the mother has been kicked and beaten and the fetus never continues to grow and it does no longer look like a fetus anylonger but I will not argue with her or cowboy because they think they know it all! I got tired of all of the name calling and the bashing, that is why I will not deal with them anymore and it is my choice.



It seems like pretty much every pro-choice that comes on here gets bashed by them at one time or the other and it gets old.



So many of these people do not realize that abortion is sometimes necessary, that is why I believe in a choice. I used to be pro-life until I saw a lot of things that happened.



Have a great day .Eiri!


what is your.E.D.I.T. Problem sandyallen I am sick of you attacking me you have never proved anything and cannot which is why you will not respond to me, if you do not want to respond to me stop bringing me into your stupid sychophantic posts and stop replying in my threads.

How in the world is sandyallen attacking you, when this debate involves me and nightangel!? Yeah, she mentioned your name; mostly because you are one of the pro-lifers most likely to not agree to anything we say, even if we claim the sky is blue. Please read the pm I sent you in response to your locked topic. All she said is that she isn't going to argue with you any more because you always act like you know everything. That's not attacking.

whatever, it is never an attack by pc is it eiri.Why can you lot not get the point, how many times do I have to tell you lot I believe in people making their own choices,so how can you say I never agree with you even if you said the sky was blue, now that is a bald faced lie, so why do you just see my name and start on me.She had no reason once again to bring my name into it but you have just proved my post that was locked, I believe it to be an attack and as it was aimed at me what you think has no bearing, but like I said its ok to attack pro life isn't it eiri.

oh hun, spare me okay. Your only trying to justify abortion. If you had or are having an abortion, you may also be trying to make yourself feel better, like more of a person.

spare me fom your emotional babble! I don't need to make myself feel better but thanks for the patronizing concern. I'm pleased I madre the decision to abort and not continue with the pregnancy, I don't need to justify mine (or any other womans) abortion.

I hate to break it to you, but abortion is going to make you less of a person.

and i'm sorry to break it to you that you know nothing about abortion. It doesn't make you less of a person, your small minded opinion really doesn't ount for jack

anyone that can intentionally go and terminate their own child, is not all there. Anyone that can do that, does not have a whole heart to deal with in the first place. I'm sorry, there is no way you can convince me otherwise.

and that's your choice, I don't want to convince you of anything but perhaps some greateer understanding would help. I have a full heart, i'm not any less of a person for aborting. I'm certainly "all there".



sunshine424 wrote:
if I was in the worst possible situation......Poor, mentally incompitable, sick, etc......I would deliver the child and ***safely** leave the child with the local police dept.

that's your choice, thankfully I was free to make a different choice for me - the one which was best in my iondividual situation.



sunshine424 wrote:
did you know that is legal and is done and offered everywhere? There are choices, alternatives.

yes, I considered them alongside abortion.



sunshine424 wrote:
abortion just allows you to not have to deal with the actual delivery, with looking your flesh and blood in the eyes.

and allows you to not be pregnant if you don't wish to be. Not everyone wants kids, not everyone wants to support a z/e/f for 9months and so adoption is not a solution for alot of unwanted pregnancies.



sunshine424 wrote:
abortion is homicide. If you insist that it is not, because it is legal and what makes homicide "homicide" is that it is illegal, than we will call it **killing**. There is no difference in the act, just in the name.

one more time. It isn't. I'm appreciateing that that fact could be tattood onto your forehead and you'd still insist you were right but logic clearly isn't a strong point i'm guessing. There is a difference in the act but there's no point as it's like banging my head against a brick wall.

if that makes you happier, than go have your cake. Just be prepared to deal with the consequences, whatever they may be.

thanks but my life is just great thanks

moo tell me something honestly do all your friends know you had abortion? If you are around a new group of people, coworkers would you mind saying to them that you had an abortion? I hear often the stories of my friends and coworkers regarding their miscarriages but I had never heard of any friend or coworker of mine ever telling me of voluntary abortions that they had. How do you feel about this? Do you feel it is something that you need to hide? Just curious..

my close friends and family do, yes. As for "all" of my friends, of course they don't, just as they don't know i've had a miscarriage or that i've had staples in my arm! It's my medical history and I only share it with those who I would like to know.

nightangel73 wrote:

i wouldn't just come out and say it but if the conversation turned to abortion then i'd not have a problem mentioning it. I'm not ashamed of it.

i'd say that's because of the nature of abortion, it's still a very taboo subject and women are worried about being judged or misunderstood (from my experience). I wouldn't talk about my miscarriage either, possibly if they were the conversation topic but I wouldn't voluntarily talk about my medical history if not entirely relevant to the conversation.

nightangel73 wrote:

not at all but I am very aware of the judgement of women who have terminated. The topic can be very uncomfortable for some people.
That's just my opinion, I guess each woman is different iykwim?

we were asked ages ago to take our argument to pm's. I assume by the fact that you didn't reply to mine that you agree with me.

Again, abortion is not the same thing as m**dering if it was ever female that has aborted would either be in prison or jail. It has to do with choice and sometimes it is necessry to have it done. It deals more with terminating a pregnancy aand is not done out of the act of anger or hate it is doing what is necessary for what is necessary at the time!

A z/e/f is a z/e/f, not a person yet or a baby yet or a child yet, you may call him or her a baby, if you want but in all reality it is not, you don't take care of one like it is, heck it is not even a full grown person yet, as .Eiri said it does not have its own personality, thoughts and emotions, there I agree with you! It is not a baby until it is born! Just my opinion also! Their are times that I do not like to see an abortion but I am not walking in that female's shoes and she was not walking in mine and their must be a reason or else she would not be doing it just like my situations and that is what pro-choice is about is being understanding and standing by the person whether you feel it is right or wrong afterall sometimes it is more necessary then what we know!
