Did any of the girls who have babies change there minds from ProChoice to ProLife?
I am just curious- I would think that once you become a mother your opinion would change?
I was pro-choice in college and then became pro-life after college. I am 31 now, so I was pro-life before becoming PG. For me becoming PG really made me appreciate life even more.

While I agree with you on many levels, making all abortion illegal except for in the case of saving the mothers life this is going to force a black market on abortions. They are going to become unsafe, unsupervised which will put the women who make the decision for themselves to have one at risk. Also it may bring a lot of babies into this world who may not be wanted, left for dead after birth, no prenatal care, the list goes on and on. I am pro choice and I think that telling women, even those who have been raped, they must carry and deliver a baby is wrong.
In cases of rape, incest, or where the mother's health is in jeopardy, that is a very tough call for me. I feel that life begins at conception so the idea of having babies left for dead after birth is just as sad to me as abortion is.
I mean I am pregnant, and when I saw my child's heartbeat at 6 weeks I started crying with joy. I heard it and saw it, that baby is a living thing IMO. So I feel an overwhelming sadness when people say it is not a living thing or try to downplay that fact that you can see and hear a heartbeat at 6 weeks.
I mean I am not a proponent of wire hangar abortions or anything like that. I don't want ANYONE to be hurt. I just wish that women did not use it as a form of birth control. Would adoption be such a horrible option to even consider???? I have had discussions with people who say that is it easier to have an abortion then to give a baby up for adoption. Why is it easier in their minds? So many people want to adopt. My Dh and I were considering it because I was told I might not be able to carry a baby full term because of a health condition that I have. Then, (after a ton of tests) my doctor said I could get pregnant. I still might have to have major heart surgery, or a transplant right after birth, but that is the risk I took to have a child. I guess when you are told you might not be able to have children, and then you can, your perspective changes.
But hte thing is THIS IS YOUR opinion...Which you are entitled to. Your choice on how to live your life..
But why ANYONE thinks it is ok to make that decision for others is BEYOND ME
People sit there and talk about options, talk about speaking for the "unborn"
JUST a week or two ago i read how there are close to 2000 cases of CHILD ABUSE in SUFFOLK COUNTY ALONE. That does not include and equally high number in Nassau...So i can only imagine what the rest of the surrounding areas would be...
This may be crude but I woudl rather see a child have NO LIFE than an unwanted, abused one like Nixmary

Re: Uh-Oh!! S.D. Governor signs Abortion Ban into Law!
well I have a feeling they are going to see a lot more infant death because if they cant terminate the pregnancy whats the next step for a confused teenager

Re: Uh-Oh!! S.D. Governor signs Abortion Ban into Law!
What i would have decided if i was 18 and PG. 21 and PG, 25 and PG and now....
well i can only imagine and feel eternally grateful i never had to make that decision.
But nobody should have the right to make that decision for us. Not politicians, not lawyers, not anyone

ITA.
I personally would never have an abortion. But I don't believe that I have the right to make that choice for another woman.
I've never walked in anyone's shoes but my own... I don't know what another person has gone through. It's not my decision to make a choice like that for another woman.
While I would hope they would choose adoption over abortion, I feel that every woman must make this decision for themselves and have the opportuntity to do so in a safe environment.

"In the history of the world, the true test of a civilization is how well people treat the most vulnerable and most helpless in their society. The sponsors and supporters of this bill believe that abortion is wrong because unborn children are the most vulnerable and most helpless persons in our society. "
I am preparing to get flamed for this, however this is JMO.
I know I am in the minority on this, but I have to say I agree with this statement that I quoted. Unborn children are the most helpless persons in our society and I am personally against abortion for MANY reasons.
I just wanted to post a different point of view. Normally I would not post about something I did not agree with (for fear of getting flamed) but in my heart I felt I had to post this.
Although I have a different opinion, I appreciate your courage in standing up for what you believe in even if you risk getting flamed.

While I'd never want to see my daughter (or son) have to make those choices, I want them to have safe choices available to them. I am more pro-choice than ever before because of them.
i totally agree.
