Pretty much arguing with anyone on this forum is pointless.
Pointless, you say? Have you ever stopped to think that just because people don't come over to your side doesn't mean your arguing was pointless? If people fail to agree with you, maybe you need to change your views, although that won't happen.
From what I have read from the OP no such manner was displayed, although some of the responses certainly do qualify..
The OP did not, but she was standing in solidarity with people who were. Attempting to engage others in conversation when it is clear that they are unwanted is RUDE. Impeding the private, peaceful pursuit of medical care because a few of the women might be getting a procedure that you disagree with (while the vast majority of women are not) is HATEFUL. Assuming that most of the women are there for abortions is IGNORANT and JUDGMENTAL.
From what I read of the OP, her group displayed all such manners, even if she was not doing it herself.
I have some very close Christian friends who take in foster kids. But they aren't really doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. They take them in because it pays good money and they get down on their luck quite often. When they do, that's went 2 to 4 kids will show up at their doorsteps. When they get some work---they are self-employed---they'll send the kids back. The amount of kids in our foster care system is a national disgrace and it would only grow worse if people like the OP get their way with closing down Planned Parenthood.
ETA: They are good to the kids while they're there but they are only there for a few months and then the kids get recycled/passed on to another foster home. Not a good or stable way for kids to grow up.
I have no problem with agreeing with you, at all, but the bolded part tells us what you think about what Planned Parenthood does in the main. From the chart I saw earlier in this thread showed that they do so few abortions and you laud them for their work in preventing population growth, I think.
Then what you are saying is that the protesters are committing a crime?
By all means, if they're committing a crime, let's call the police off the streets where they're catching rapists and drunk drivers and people selling meth to little kids so they can run interference for women who are, more than likely, just trying to get into P.P. for a mammogram.
Various posters on this thread have accused the protesters of harrassing these women. If the protesters are guilty of this, call the police. Harassment is a crime, at least in my city.
Sounds like some abortionists need to start paying for some off-duty police.
1) I drop out, and take classes online. I tell the guy to shove the money up his %$$ and I have the baby and put him/her up for adoption.
2) I beg my parents not to kick me out and ask them to compromise by letting me give the child up for adoption. If they refuse I move out and find any family member who will support me until the end of the pregnancy. If I can't find anyone I go to a shelter until the end of the pregnancy and give the child up for adoption. I try to move on as best I can and get as much education as I can until I am old enough to get a job. (you my not believe it but this is really what I would do. I am willing to fight tooth and nail for what I believe in. Thank God my parents would never do that to me.)
3) I tell my fiance the truth and pray that he doesn't leave me. If he does, I come clean, loose my job and go get a job somewhere else. Depending on how much money and resources I have before I get the job and after, I make a decision to keep the child or put him/her up for adoption. Maybe find a couple in the church to adopt him/her (it's what my amazing ex-sister in law did.)
Did you know that less then 10% of children put up for adoption find families? The rest end up being a financial burden on the "welfare" (for various definitions of welfare,) system.
Thank you for posting this. Very few are interested in taking on the responsibilities of raising 10 year-olds who have been through hell.
At our house we took in a 17 year old when she was released from a girl's home after a year there. Of course, we knew her from a much earlier age and we were tough enough with her the first couple of months that she decided we were the bosses and either changed or hid her shortcomings. She is, today, a 49 year old mother of a well behaved little boy of 11 and they have a happy life together. She did serve our nation in the Middle East 3 of the last 5 years but the boy made it through all of that.
There is a family in our little town that sometimes has 4 teen aged girls in their home that has them for money only and it doesn't work so well with the kids.
I'll do you one better. I'd keep the baby and make that bastard pay child support. Nobody f***s me over! Then I'll screw up my life, and make sure he gets custody, but I still get the child support because some crap judge is biased!!! I WIN.
I have no problem with agreeing with you, at all, but the bolded part tells us what you think about what Planned Parenthood does in the main. From the chart I saw earlier in this thread showed that they do so few abortions and you laud them for their work in preventing population growth, I think.
You are being deliberately obtuse. Planned Parenthood's main function is not abortions as you very well know. The majority of their resources go to preventing pregnancies. Pro-Lifers will not stop until they completely shut down every PP in the country just because a small part of their budget goes to abortions.
They "saved" the fetus. What happens after that is simply not their problem.
After making this post please explain that you aren't interested in abortion for population control only.
