It isn't what's happening here; maybe I am looking at the laziness of the mom to get a shot and/or refraining from intercourse until birth control happens as astounding... and then to kill someone for HER mistake... just shocking.<br /><br />Erica, I sincerely hope things work out well for your brother and soon. Not knowing has to be very, very hard each month. The problem with the thinking on the video is that one would LOVE the child too much to give up, but it would have an awful life at home? Not sure that is true given the wealth obviously displayed, but suppose it were. I agree... it's such a waste of life. A few months of discomfort, and this young lady could have had this baby and given it a family and all the wealth it needed. And the couple adopting would be so, so thankful.<br /><br />Just sad. Is being pregnant that stinkin' hard?Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-55551425930641599192011-01-02T22:38:36.987-06:002011-01-02T22:38:36.987-06:00It saddens me hearing about stories like these, es...It saddens me hearing about stories like these, especially when I think of my brother- and sister-in-law who have been trying for years to have a baby and are going to pay lots of money to try to have one of their own, and if that doesn't work they are going to look into adopting. But babies are gotten rid of everyday.

But to kill them just to save yourself down the road....uuugh. As a Mother who would give just about anything to be able to have more children, it hurts my heart to know there are people who kill them for no purpose that can be reckoned before Him.Blondeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827536147609261504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-12379013672970617002011-01-02T11:00:19.477-06:002011-01-02T11:00:19.477-06:00Yeah, it really was.

I was really impressed by Maci, because at first? She was riding an ATV at 9 months along. Then she got some common sense, yk?<br /><br />People are entirely too harsh sometimes, but the video on the abortion just made me want to cry.<br /><br />I had a best friend who aborted at 16. I remember showing her pictures of fetal development from my mom's nursing books. BUT I guess I wasn't mature enough to formulate a good argument, to rationalise anything well.<br /><br />It wouldn't have been "good" to have the baby at 16, but she was adopted herself. Not to give her baby that chance? But I wonder what happened, because here she is 40 and there are no children still. I wonder if she is ok, but don't know her well enough anymore to ask. :(Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-20598355704474594982011-01-02T00:29:09.042-06:002011-01-02T00:29:09.042-06:00I'd say not watching it would have been the se...I'd say not watching it would have been the sensible option for you!<br /><br />I think most pro-choice people think that while it's not a good choice to make, it's better than no choice at all. Of course, there are people as radical on my side of the fence as there are on yours, who wouldn't listen to anyone daring to disagree with them. Which is sad too, I think we've all got a responsibility to listen to different view points respectfully and learn from them.Veronica Foalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519401661788911341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-34567520340851956742011-01-02T00:25:57.034-06:002011-01-02T00:25:57.034-06:00I *entirely* get what you are saying.

I think most pro-choice people will acknowledge that abortion is not a "good," but in some cases a lesser of two evils sort of choice.<br /><br />I don't believe that, but there are some people I highly respect who have thought it out and reasoned that women should not be forced to carry a baby to term. There are risks to bearing children, and medical consequences that can last a lifetime.<br /><br />Not too long ago, women frequently died after childbirth. I just can't, like you, unconditionally support this choice. I was sad and horrified at the whole spectacle... maybe I should not have watched it.Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-66651774744502114062011-01-02T00:25:16.598-06:002011-01-02T00:25:16.598-06:00Oh!

You know I had Amy at 17 and I consider myself fairly intelligent and a good mother, so to see what they were like, it made me feel so angry. <br /><br />It also made me understand where some of the judginess I've been victim comes from, so maybe a good thing in that light.Veronica Foalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519401661788911341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-25457940232493201572011-01-02T00:22:28.450-06:002011-01-02T00:22:28.450-06:00You know I disagree with you about abo.rtion, but ...You know I disagree with you about abo.rtion, but that's beside the point. I don't think anyone should be commended for choosing to ab.ort - in my mind, it's a tough choice and I'd prefer to see less unwanted pregnancies and less abo.rtion. In a perfect world of course.<br /><br />I can't give unconditional support either, because while I am pro cho.ice, I'm not necessarily pro-abo.rtion. Maybe it just feels like in this case, it was the easy way out - of course I'm only judging from a small slice of the story.<br /><br />Also, they appear to have more money than we do and we're successfully and happily raising two children (and hoping for a third, one day), so to say the decision was financial, well. Odd, anyway.<br /><br />I dunno, to be honest, I support the right to choose, but sometimes, seeing ab.ortion used as birth control makes me a little sick. Prevention is better than cure, in my eyes.<br /><br />And really, I'm just sort of babbling. I know you'll get what I mean, even if you disagree with some of my points.
