Q for ‘Pro-Lifers’: How many kids have you ADOPTED from

[renie408]

69. I hate this subject.

This is the one subject that can make me so angry I think I literally hate the people on the other side. All of the people who hold the pro-life viewpoint all feel so righteous to me. Let's review just some of the comments in this thread:

"Pro-deathers"
"I would love to adopt, but it is not possible for me."
"Except for the case of rape, she CHOSE to get pregnant. There are just too many cheap/easy ways to avoid getting pregnant."
"I believe that life is precious." (this one always REALLY pisses me off. Like the rest of us DON'T think life is precious??)
"And, when I am able to take them in again, I will."
"Is it ethical to murder someone else in order to save your own life?"

Aren't you a LOVELY bunch. I got pregnant at 19 while taking birth control. I faced losing my family, my job, my partner's education and I didn't see any of YOU lining up offering to help me. I had an abortion. I don't regret it. I think that continuing that pregnancy would have likely destroyed me, my husband and the child I was carrying. I wasn't fit to be a mother at 19. Eight years later I had my son, then a daughter 4 years after that. I had grown, changed and learned a lot. I was married to the man I had been with since high school, had established myself enough that I didn't risk losing my only source of income during my pregnancy and we became good and responsible parents. I made a tough choice that I am not happy about, but that was right at the time.

I am not 'pro abortion' or 'pro death'. I am pro-life AND pro-choice. It really isn't that hard to be both. Do any of YOU feel like you have the right to decide for ME what is best in MY situation? And if you do, could you PLEASE explain to me why you are so much more qualified to make this decision than I am? Please? If any of you can, it will be a first. No one else has ever been able to. If you are anti-abortion...don't have one. The end.
