I stand by what I said, though. The condom breaks...the pill doesn't work...the boyfriend's a jerk..the husband runs off....sad facts of life, but these are problems between adults, who are PRESUMABLY (?) responsible for their own behavior, and its consequences. I can be sympathetic to you, I can say I understand, I can give you consolation...but I CAN'T tell you to kill your child. That's just WAY beyond the rest of this stuff.

Adults can be rotten. Fathers abandon mothers...sometimes MOTHERS abandon fathers....adults put each other, AND THEMSELVES, through hell....but you don't 'make it right' by killing the unborn. You do something else.

Sorry, I can't put it any plainer. I'm not judging you, nor denying that I myself could once have gone through the same thing, had circumstances been different. But nothing I say, nor anything you've gone through, gives ANYBODY the right to kill a human life. At that point, the choice is no longer yours.

Best wishes to you.....sorry if this sounds 'harsh'..it's not meant to.
Fair enough. I know this is an issue that many of us feel passionately about, for whatever reason. I appreciate that you haven't insulted me or tried to make me feel like an unworthy ass.

I don't know if it's all as neat and clean as that.

Some thoughts from a recent thread...

That is a odd statement to make about someone whom you know nothing about.....

Abortion is such an easy step to the left, like throwing out the trash.

No one practices abstaining from sex very high on a list, instead it is OK to pass out condoms in elementary classes...

But it is OK to throw someone in jail for cracking an Eagle egg.... Ben Franklin called them Glorified Buzzards.... He wanted the Wild Turkey as the National Bird and we eat them for Thanksgiving.

Guess if he had his choice, we would be eating Buzzards for Thanksgiving...

False analogy.

The reasons why Bald Eagles need to be protected have nothing to do with the debate over abortion.

But if the child is just aborted, all it good. That is perverse thinking that the kid is only viable if the kid is wanted and then it is murder verses trash....
