Being Pro-life does not make you a prude.

You can have it both ways

Published on October 6, 2005 By Moderateman In US Domestic

I am Pro-life, even though I think abortion is an abomination, I support A woman's right to choose.

Somehow the message has gotten out that you must abstain from sex {conservative values} I disagree with this.

I think if you are going to have unprotected sex or even so called protected sex and are not married you should be able to deal with the consequences {birth}.

If you are old enough to make adult decisions {having sex} you should be adult enough to have the child, not kill it because it might be inconvenient to have the baby.

In this world of instant gratification, it has become to easy to sex it up with no thought to the problems this might entail.

The decay of America started with roe vrs wade, sure kid have sex all you want then if you get pregnant you can just commit murder to get rid of the problem{abortion} there by compounding your mistakes and accepting no responsibility at all.

This liberal attitude towards something a sacred as sexual relations is directly responsible for the moral decay of America and traditional values.

So if you are going to go out there and have indiscriminate sex with multiple partners be adult enough to accept responsibility and have the child instead of killing it for your mistake.

Also be prepared to contract some kind of sexually transmitted disease {aids Hep b and c} and a multitude of others.

Do not expect me to spend my money to help support you either, I do not want to have to pay for your mistakes.

While I will not paint all pro-abortion people with this broad brush, I will say the pro abortion leadership has gone from advocating a woman's right to choose, to pushing abortion for abortion's sake. They no longer even attempt to advocate responsibility on the part of the participants.

as soon as a dyed in the wool liberal tells me they support abortion, but think people should accept responsibility for their decisions I will stop using a broad brush, untill then I will paint away.

I, too, support a woman's right to choose.

Just as I support a woman's right to life.

I just, you know, don't support anybody's right to choose death for other people.

And I think that deciding whether or not a fetus is a person is too momentous and far-reaching thing for a single individual to decide. It's a decision that will shape our whole society for generations to come. To the extent that we can, I think we all have a responsibility to participate in making that decision. And I'm not at all surprised that the debate is turning out to be long and ugly.

In the end, though, I just don't think it's for individual people to decide, on a case by case basis, what counts as a human being.

I'm of mixed opinion. I support a woman's right to choose because I'm not going to tell anyone else what they can and cannot do with their lives. However, I also think that once a chick is pregnant it's not just 'her' body anymore, it's being shared by someone else - and that someone has rights the same as everyone else.

I don't agree with abortion as a form of birth control. I think that if you choose to have sex then you also choose to accept the consequences of having sex...whether it be a STD or pregnancy.

We've become a society that always looks to someone else to blame when things happen. We've somehow managed to make personal responsibility and accountability a thing of the past, and I detest that. People need to start taking responsibility for their actions - and if that means having a baby, then so be it. Adoption is ALWAYS an option. If my mother had believed in abortion, I wouldn't be here today....

yikes my second insightful in the last 2 responses. I also extend the me not telling someone what to do with their body to the right to die with dignity {assisted suicide}

...and then give that child up to be adopted by a loving, responsible, childless couple instead of using it to up your welfare check while you go on Jerry Springer having half the damn town tested to find out who your 'baby-daddy' is.

Akk I hate that term, I want to spit every time I see or hear it.

Exactly. Adoption is ALWAYS an option. it's not easy, but neither is abortion...or it SHOULDN'T be easy, anyway.

'My baby daddy' makes me want to slap the mouth of the person saying it. Mind you, a lot of ebonics make me want to slap the mouth of the person saying it.

My Dentist is too cheap to get cable, so when I have to go for a teeth cleaning, guess what is on?

I didn't realize that "baby daddy" was ebonics--I just thought it was slang for "my baby's daddy." I first heard when I was in Belfast--and there's not a lot of ebonics going on there...

Everyone knows my position on this, so I won't bore y'all.
