Why bother putting your beliefs out there?

Most of the time, you get knocked for what you believe in. I've actually had a few 'friends' tell me that they could not look at me in the same way since they found out that I don't think it's okay for homosexuals to get married and that I believe that women who abort their babies, for no reason other than they made a stupid mistake and don't want ( Read more... )

Did you know that the crime rate in the United States has dropped dramatically from where sociologists were predicting it should be, according to trends in the 1980s? They attribute this to the legalisation of abortion - less unwanted children means less children "in the system" as they say, and less children growing up without proper parenting, and proper nuturing, and, well, love.

I'm not saying I agree with abortion either (I would, under most circumstances not choose one for myself), however I do believe in the right of women to choose. And, I do think in some cases abortion is a reasonable choice; rape victims, for example. Is a child better off growing up without love, being shipped from foster home to foster home, or not growing up at all?

Note: Women, not teenage girls. I think there should be enforced sterility until people get some kind of parenting licence ("I will not let my toddler handle guns"), but alas, there is not yet the technology. Some day.

Your view's are your own. Nobody should get mad at you for what you believe in your heart.

I think girls who are careless and don't care who they hurt, should have the baby. Even if they give up the baby for adoption, at least the baby's not dead, right?

I just have a different view on women who, at the time they get pregnent, have the means to take care of the baby, but life tosses its curve at them, and they find themselves unable to provide for themselves, let alone a baby. And feel that adoption would be too hard. Or for women that have been raped. That's just my views, though.
