You're the one that made the claim. If your so fascinated by it, then maybe you should further research and support your claim?

I know, right? .001% is an absolute tragedy for women's rights and an absolute tragedy of a percentage to take for the parasite promoters.

Who's going to keep Mary Kay in business?

The lack of entitlements in third world countries does not stop people from having sex and making babies they can't feed.....does it?

So.....I guess punishing women by making them watch their babies starve to death isn't going to solve anything is it?

But then, maybe it will feed your ego because they got what they deserved.

I have yet to see a sign like this. Just the usual, judgmental, "My beliefs are better than yours, and because of that you're going to hell" stuff.

My friends used to go out and lob water balloons at these protesters, lol. Me? I was never anywhere near them when it happened, promise.

Adoption counseling not available?

That's so weird!

On TV I always see the pro-life people trying to hand the pregnant women adoption literature before the clinic workers rush them inside.

My sister had no trouble finding a nice couple to adopt her son.

In fact, the couples apply for a child with hat in hand. The final decision about who is awarded the adoption is made by the pregnant woman.

She asked a series of probing questions to make sure the couple who adopted her son were the right sort of people.

The first couple screwed-up on one of the the questions, but she only had to interview two couples before she found the perfect professional and Christian couple.

The adoption agency maintains a waiting list and the particular couple who adopted my nephew had been waiting two years for a child.

He's seventeen today, he lives locally, he went to great private schools and he plays hockey (I've seen his Facebook page).

He's a great kid.


So your friends are the sort of people who harass decent people who are trying to keep a child like my nephew from being killed?

And your worried about others being intolerant, self-righteous and judgmental?

What kills me about this pro-life belief is this.

They don't want to be taxed to feed the poor babies.

They don't want to be taxed to educate ANY of the babies.

They don't want to be taxed to give the babies health care.

They just want you to have them all, abort none, and raise them at least until they're 18 years old.


.........then they can vote to send them off to some middle-eastern dirt-hole so they can defend corporate interest with, duh-huh, their lives, for compensation that amounts to a pittance, under the guise of "preserving our freedom", and continue to impose their will on others.



It's like half the country, at LEAST, is mentally ill.

The whole "give me welfare if I have a baby" loop bores me now. It goes on forever in all the abortion threads.

The "babies aren't innocent because they make their mommies sick" thing is where it's at now.

Let's see where that leads, instead.

It seems to me that most of the people on this thread arguing pro choice are women.

And the ones arguing pro life are men, who will NEVER EVER have to worry about getting pregnant.

Very interesting, and makes me lean more towards this being a control issue. It's easy to tell people what to do if you know you'll never have to go through it yourself.

Well you want to force women to have babies they don't want. Where else are they going to get the money to support them?

Are you going to adopt them? No?

Then who are you to determine what a woman does with her body?

Ohhh! I forgot. That 18th bra to uplift the breast. I mean why would any female need that? Or those G-string bikinis and underwear. Can't go without those. You gotta find a man after all... wait.
