Maya Angelou: The Decision That Changed My Life: Keeping My Baby

Do we really celebrate someone who keeps her fetus? Crazy.

Well, newb, 'round these parts, we properly call "keeps her fetus"...
GIVING BIRTH TO HER BABY.

And the opposite case would be killing her baby.

In this context, referring to the human being inside the womb as "her fetus" is very dehumanizing. That human has the right not to get sliced up into ribbons.

I see your point.

I’m not sure why you used the term fetus.

Thank you for reading and understanding.

I used the word fetus properly.

Well, Alzheimers, did you read my post #35?

Of course, properly enough.

Yet it is used usually by those who support abortion.

It means goo.

Sorry, I got caught up in the moment of removing the mantle of sainthood from an icky old leftist.

OK but....I just read that she was thrilled with Obama and desperately wanted him to have a 2nd term.

She wanted a liberal Supreme Court, my definition of pro life she does not fit

Did she ever weep for the unborn to the point of pleading with people to vote for pro life candidates? I see no evidence of this

Glad she did not kill her own child

God Bless her

And she thinks Mrs Obama is great??? I have no respect for folks that are not pro life period

I would not attend a Church that did not feel the same as myself on this

Yes I hope she was saved

[Friendofgeorge]

Thank You, I love how you said that. A red flag goes up when I hear people referring to a fetus

[Friendofgeorge]

Very few Catholic Priests tell people to vote only for pro life Candidates.

Do not recall any Pope`s being strong enough on pro life values either, so I guess in that respect she is no worse than them?

but still this was a lady that not only remained silent on abortion imo,went out of her way to celebrate her Democrat Party pro abortion platform

If she was truly a Christian, she should have supported Sarah Palin and God`s unborn Children at the same time. If she was a Christian why didn`t she support Christ by standing up for Christian values?

If she was truly pro life, why didn`t she at the very least rally so called Christian Democrats (a oxymoron imo) to demand the party be pro life??

I think the answer is simple, they are not pro life.

Do we get awards for not killing our children?

You're welcome, and I note that he/she changed their language later.

However, to be honest, I think it is all in the context of how you use the term. For example, I'm working on a project that "documents fetal development". When I say this, I think - ? hope ? - that it is clear that I'm referring to a specific phase in human development, before the human becomes a post-birth "infant".

I kind of think of the term "baby" as encompassing the "zygote/embryo, fetus, infant" phases of human development.

But, I could be wrong. Should I be referring to my project differently?

[Friendofgeorge]

I thanked you for capturing the right spirit, as you have

When a Democrat/pro abortion person mentions Fetus, it`s meant with a political agenda denying life

I like Baby personally, but like I said was giving you thumbs up

[Mrs. Don-o]

She's definitely going against her own crowd by saying she wouldn't kill her unborn baby because, as she says, "I knew there was someone inside me."

She could be wrong about stuff 99 times out of 100, but when she tells the truth and does the right thing, yes, I will stand and applaud. Yes.

[867V309]

For example, I'm working on a project that "documents fetal development".

Hypocrite.

point taken

Ms Angelou might have kept her baby, but she championed a woman's right to choose and gay marriage. She hated America and moved to Africa only to return when convinced by Malcolm X. She was a strong supporter of Fidel Castro.
