What has always puzzled me is the ProLife movement is so very vocal and at times vicious about its position, but I don't see them building homes for unwed mothers, counseling them to put their babies up for adoption. If one is anti- abortion, that battle is going to be won in the hearts of people,by being compassionate and less judgemental not by changing laws, or being what I preceive as hostile towards women.As I understand it, Christians are suppose to emulate Jesus. Jesus was a compassionate and forgiving man, recongizing that we are human and make mistakes.
Also, as they say life is precious, but it seems to me that it stops being precious or any concern of theirs once the child is born. He or she may be born into the worst of circumstances and that does not seem to bother them. It is preplexing to me. I'm not saying that it is better not to be born, but it does make me go "hmmmmmm".

Agreed. I always cringe when a thread about a pregnant teenager is posted, because freepers will descend on that thread, calling her a slut and all sots of other names--many of whom are unashamedly pro-life.

These young ladies made a mistake, and for that one mistake, they decided to not to take the easy way out--but to endure the humilation of being pregnant, and quite possibly giving up their career and any chance of getting a decent husband. Freepers would never have known if they just took a pill. These ladies should be recongized for their courage to not to do another wrong, and they should be supported in every way by prolifers--including adoption, babysitting services, and so on.

Maybe they think they are emulating Jesus. It's just that they consider Jesus to be a hateful calumnious dolt.
