"I think people who are against abortion are stupid. If you're so against it, don't get one doofus."

true. but just like everyone else in this world everyone has their opinions, and everyone makes decisions on what they THINk is right. people are allowed to persuade, and allowed to shout there own thoughts just like what your saying against them.
you probably can't tell but i feel really strongly about this issue. a life is precious. if they want so bad to be rid of that baby, why not just give it to somebody who so badly wants one? Adoption is a better option.
people are given life for a reason. and i dont think its so it could be so quickly taken away, but sadly it happens.

Okay. But I notice that people, out government is a good example, fight so hard to make women have their babies, but once the child is born, they're forgotten.
Not to mention, there are hundreds of thousands of children up for adoption. We don't need to be making more just to put them up for adoption so that they can bounce from foster house to foster house until they're 18. All of the infertile couples have thousands of children to choose from. Plus, if it's a first trimester abortion, is it even a life yet? I mean it's not much more than cells bunched together. When does it become a life as opposed to cells?

It is a life as soon as it is created, or so, thats what I believe. I mean, I look at my little brother Tonia, I look at him you know how much I love babies :] I can't imagine any little life gone like that. Just because someone doesn't want to have it. Sure, there are people who are undergoing INCREDIBLY difficult situations, ones I can't even begin to imagine myself in, but see thats the thing all this - its about ME. Its MY opinion and my choice in what others should do.

"Okay. But I notice that people, out government is a good example, fight so hard to make women have their babies, but once the child is born, they're forgotten."
this kinda reminds me of blood brothers "who do you love who do you trust who do you kill when the senator drags out your first born"
and i finally realized what that meant (well not finally, you know what i mean) and you're right you're so right, but i think what the goverment is doing is fighting for all around LIFE, i dont think they are specifying it into one life saved.. if you know what im trying to

[____crankhheart]

Well, I hate to break it to ya, but it's not completely about you. This is about women all over. But what I was asking, is when is the life created? Because you really can't call a zygote a life. You can't really call anything in the first or early second trimester a life.

And the government is not fighting for life, that is a ridiculous claim. (war in iraq anyone?)

i'm speaking as someone who was adopted and has had an abortion.
hate me all you want.
i'm sixteen-years-old, and could not go through a nine-month pregnancy.
i was only five weeks pregnant when i got my abortion, and i was puking during class, at an average of seven times a day.
true, it was my responsibility, but i never had unprotected sex and was on the birth control pill.
but how can you expect any sixteen-year-old to give up nine months of their life, having to give up high school and possibly her potential future for something, a fetus, that would not have a complete life if i were to give it up for adoption?
when you're adopted, you have no sense of self.
i have no clue who my biological parents are, what my heritage is, whose nose i have. nothing.
i've gone through a lot of rough times in my life, and the source of those problems is not having a sense of belonging.
i will never have that sense, because i will never feel accepted or even have any knowledge of a bond with a biological parent.

"how can you expect any sixteen-year-old to give up nine months of their life, having to give up high school and possibly her potential future for something, a fetus, that would not have a complete life if i were to give it up for adoption?"
Its easy you just do it
I am a child of a mother who gave up nine months of her life at 16.

[repeating_scene]

and i completely respect your mother's decision.
my boyfriend's mom was eighteen when she gave birth.
i just couldn't handle it.
i would have to quit school, my dad would throw my boyfriend in jail, and it would tear my parent's relationship apart.

[____crankhheart]

It's easy? Did you honestly just say that giving that up is easy? Becuase having a child that young, you're not giving up just 9 months, you're giving up the rest of your life if you keep the child. Your life is dedicated to that child from the moment you decide to keep it and on. That is not an easy decision at all.

[titababy]

and i dont hate you for that, i dont even know you. how could i judge you on one thing you did

[____crankhheart]

I admire you more than you know, Wendy. I would have given up a long time ago if I had gone through everything you have.
That's the exact reason I think a woman's right to choose needs to be protected. It's not fair to the mother or child if the mother knows she won't be able to raise the child properly and give it a good life. And if the child is going to be put up for adoption and a.) bounce from foster home to foster home until they're 18 and have NO sense of family or stability at all or b.) have no sense of self or family,

how is that fair?

[repeating_scene]

thanks, tonia.
it wasn't an easy thing to go through.
especially while doing it all alone.
anthony and i knew that we couldn't support a baby.
and it wouldn't be fair to bring a life into the world, knowing that he/she would probably hate us for making that decision.

[____crankhheart]

I think we have a different perspective on this for other reasons also. Our bouts with depression and what not, in terms of hating our parents for bringing us into the world. sdjfsdfj yeah

[showmedisco]

but don't you ever wonder what could have been?

[____crankhheart]

Of course. Every woman does. No one gets an abortion just because they can. There is a huge psychological recovery period and everyone has it for different reasons. But if the mother wouldn't be able to provide that child with a good life, we have a good idea of what could have been.

[repeating_scene]

like tonia said, of course i wonder.
i didn't have an abortion because it was the easy way out.
it was my only option, for me, my boyfriend, and the baby.
if i went through with the pregnancy, my dad would have put my boyfriend in jail.
so then i would lose my biggest form of support, and the baby would be without a father figure.
i'm unemployed, and the salary that my boyfriend makes has no way of supporting a child.
i would have to quit school, and i've invested too much time and effort in AP and honors classes to be a high school dropout.
thus, when i consider what could have been, it just reinforces my decision.
there was no way that my pregnancy would wind up in a happy ending.

[showmedisco]

i didn't mean about the pregnancy, i meant do you ever wonder about the baby that could have been?
