Why aren't you out volunteering at a homeless shelter tonight instead of tapping on your keyboard?

Ooooooh okay. Well in that case shotgun wedding, and I'd come clean and lose my job and I'd decide with the father whether we'd keep the baby or put him/her up for adoption.
[...]
3)discuss it with the father and come to a mutual decision
Because, I'm not gonna lie, its easier, but easier doesn't always mean better.

I cannot stand people like that. Not to mention, at least the ones that I know, are completely hypocritical.
Scenario 3 is a reason that people who DO have moral objections to abortion get abortions. I know of cases. Social disapproval and ostracism in a tight-knit community is a very powerful thing.

I'm not the one telling others how they should spend their time. You are.

But we are talking about Unplanned Parenthood here .....
What? She said you had to have the abortion surgically if the abortion pill DIDN'T WORK. You're kind of already committed by the point you take an abortion pill. Which is, IIRC a 2-stage thing--which can stop working in the middle of the process, essentially leaving you with an incomplete but started abortion which can be very dangerous.

If God is EVERYWHERE, why do you need to go to Planned Parenthood to pray, couldn't you do that in your church or your home? Perhaps it's because your objective when going to PP is not to pray, but to harrass the women who go there. If that is the case, you ought to be prepared for the consequences and don't expect sympathy, at least not from people like me (raised in a Christian household)

It's hardly any of the escorts business why the protesters are there, now is it? For that matter, why is it anyone else's business why they are there?

You are the one that brought up why the escorts are there!! And the protesters are quite open about why there are there.

And the whole point is that the protestors have no actual business there. They are there to harass women seeking medical advice and services. Simple as that.

Many people would prefer the protesters not be there. Doesn't mean they shouldn't be. That's a consequence of living with a First Ammendment.
