Save Roe (read all 2 entries…)
Save Roe huh ... who will save John Doe?

How wonderful all of us are able to write our opinions about if abortion is right or wrong blah blah the fact of the matter is we should all be grateful OUR mothers were PROLIFE!! And we should thank the Lord for all the days he gives us free will to make these choices.

I too was a teen parent and you know what? it’s not the end of the world. I know everyone’s life experiences are different but when it comes down to it people raise unwanted babies everyday (bio-parents or adopted parents). But give the child a chance of life people, because EACH one of you reading this has been given a chance at life so why should an unborn child not have that same opportunity?

Seems like in an effort to protect women’s rights we have failed to protect the rights of God’s will and the rights of an unborn child. If there is a heartbeat there is life, it’s not rocket science. With that said I will pray for all of us, fore we should always be there for each other so we don’t have to make mistakes like this. I am sorry if you have had to make this choice and you didn’t have a support system in place to help you raise a child. All of you are in my prayers.

I really, really don’t want to argue with you. I think I understand where you’re coming from, but I obviously disagree. I genuinely want to know why you think it’s your business to tell women (or anyone else, for that matter) what they can and can’t do. This is America, where freedom is plentiful and women have rights. It is not up to you to decide whether or not a rape victim must wake up every morning to a hefty reminder of the most agonizing, terrifying moments of her life. Her body will change, she will miss work, she will be forced to pay for medical expenses, she will be permanently changed and always reminded of the worst moments of her life. And all for a parasitic life form? Even women who are not raped, but perhaps women who have trouble finding and affording birth control, deserve the chance to make an informed decision. The woman is already here. She has built a life. She has memories. She has family. She has the right and the ability to make a choice, but an unborn, unwanted fetus does not. No one is pro-abortion. It would be great if birth control and condoms were readily available and sexual information was within reach for everyone, but that’s not happening. No woman makes the decision to abort lightly. It’s a terrible choice and one that I don’t wish on anyone, but it’s not up to you or me. It’s not our body and it’s not our life. It’s hers and hers alone.

I agree with you I don’t want to argue either but I know personally some women that have raised rape babies as their own. Even if one women can raise a rape baby then we should all be able too. My friends son looks nothing like her obviously looks like the bio-father and I agree it’s so terrible but it is what you make of it. If you want to think of it as a reminder then that’s what that baby will be. If you want to raise it as your child, then that’s what it will be. My arguement isn’t about having freedom in America it’s about the child having freedom to live. Again none of us would have choices if we weren’t given the opportunity of life. I am not judging these women I am praying for them and their situtaions. I was a teen parent and if I can do it believe me anyone can, I am not anymore special then anyone else. I know you are speaking from your heart and I am to. Thank you for voicing your opinions.

P.S.

regarding your comment about it being a “parasitic life form” well you have that half right it’s a “life form” but “parasitic” wow that’s pretty strong. Well all I have to say is I am sorry you view it that way and I am sure you were never viewed in that light growing in your mother womb. But hey it’s your opinion and you have the right to have your and I have the right to mine. You’ve given me a lot to ponder and I hope I’ve got you thinking too. Have a great day!

The term “parasitic” might be offensive (I know the connotations certainly aren’t positive), but I’m using it as it is defined: an organism that lives on or in another organism, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment. That’s what a fetus, wanted or not, is.

I know that there are very strong, heroic women who raise babies who came to be from terrible circumstances. They should absolutely be commended. That doesn’t in any way negate the heroic nature of women who are put in the same disgusting situation and decide that they are unable to raise a child or carry a pregnancy to term.

My mother is very, very Pro-Choice. She chose to have children when she could give them everything that children need, financially, psychologically, and emotionally. I could not have had a better childhood, and I know how blessed I am for that. I know that if my mother would have had unwanted children before my siblings and I were born, we wouldn’t have had the stable, loving upbringing that we did and I’m grateful.

Anyway, you absolutely did make me think. Thank you for being so respectful in your responses.
