Easy to say when no emotion is involved... Far harder to do after the fact.
That is the problem with most pro-life activist. Unless you walked a mile in their shoes.......
It's also a problem with pro-choice activists. They haven't walked a mile in the shoes of one who has had an abortion and suffers the emotional and sometimes physical repercussions.
You make assumptions, much like Tommy did earlier in this thread. I don't guess the thought may have occurred to you that I know exactly what I'm talking about?
She talks about adoption yet there are so many out there not being adopted.
I would like to see a thread about adoption and foster parenting from all of these "pro-life" people.
Yet, she would give hers up for adoption (if raped) Radiant? I don't get it.
What's not to get? If it were too painful for me to raise the child after having carried it for 9 months I would put it up for adoption, it's still better than killing the child don't you think? I do.
Have you read the whole thread? If so, you would know that I've helped out and do my part. Let me reiterate for you...
1) I've counseled women on birth control and told them of the differences between contraceptives and abortificients so they can make an educated decision
2) I've counseled women after they've received an abortion.
3) I've talked two women into having their children who would otherwise have aborted them and they have both come back to thank me. I also help them out with $, clothing, free babysitting etc when it's needed/required -- in other words, I haven't just left them to their own devices.
4) I donate cash to pregnancy crisis centers.
5) I support pro-life legislation to overturn Roe vs. Wade.
6) I've protested to my congressmen/senators about tax funding for PP becuase PP readily performs abortions.
My ex husband and I had a dream of fostering children when we were able to; unfortunately, once we got to the point of being able to, my husband left and my current life circumstances don't allow me to do that now.
In other words, I don't just talk the talk.
So, let me turn the question back on you and Go-G ... If you are one of those who are personally opposed to abortion but support the choice to have one, what do
you do to prevent it from happening?
