The number of people who use this argument without realizing it never ceases to astonish me.

Originally posted by jennypie Ok another question. If you had an abortion, would you talk openly about it? Would you be proud of your choice?

Well I hope that I am responsible enough not to get pregnant when I don't have the plan to, but hypothetically, if it happened....

I would not openly talk about it. A lot of people are opposed to abortion, and I would not want to get into a debate each and every time it was mentioned. I also wouldn't want this to tarnish my good standings with people.

Would I be proud? Yes. I would know that I had done the right thing for me. I would be glad to know that I had not brought a life into this world that would not get the proper care that it needs. I would know that I had not ruined my life by taking on a life altering task I was not prepared for. Yes... I would absolutely be proud.

Would I be proud that I had gotten myself into the situation in the first place? Absolutely not. Stupid of me, and shame on me for not taking the appropriate precautions.

I know intellectual bullsh*t when I smell it. If you were in the a real situation with a decision to make you wouldn't be thinking about all the garbage your throwing around.

if that were the case you should be able to easily refute the bullshit, without resorting to the illogical "what i think is right because it rings true in my heart" like some retarded hippy lost in the 60s.

Originally posted by pkcRAISTLIN Hey, you and theresa should get on fine then. I know, its such a crazy idea to get people to justify the beliefs that they live their life by or ask others to live.

I don't base my opinions on how "my heart" feels. If you take a look at anything I have said in this thread, I have proven evidence that justifies why I hold that opinion.

People who base what they believe on how they "feel" would absolutely not get along with me.

You know what I have noticed... no one has provided any proof (other than some anecdotes) of why my idealistic opinion is wrong, other than the fact that it is not realistic in our current situation.

Funny how you are the one to claim I am the one who cannot handle justifying my belief when you have not attempted to even try.

Anyone?

P.S. Jenny, I appreciate the attempt to turn this into an actual discussion

because you have no right to tell a parent what to do with their progeny, or remove the right for responsible adults to adopt children.

sometimes in life you have to put up with the negative effects of an activity in order for some people to benefit from the positive.
