Good news

[firebrand]

If all goes well, we will be there too.

In New York, not Boston.

The ONLY people I know who are pro-abortion are of that mind because they want the poor black babies to be aborted so that they don't end up on welfare and supported for life by tax dollars. I think if Jesse Jackson, NAACP, etc realized that, they would be AGAINST abortion. It is a racist opinion to want to abort the poor black babies, that my friends say, "Would have a poor quality of life"
I think it is horrible and very racist. I am AGAINST ABORTION except to save the mother's life.

[firebrand]

Not for me. If some NYC freepers can't be bothered to roll out of bed onto the subway to come to rallies and demonstrations, why should I travel to Boston? I am sick of all the people who leave everything up to others, but maybe this is a subject for a vanity thread.

As His Holiness said, "You cannot forbid the poor to be born."

except to save the mother's life. >>

When does a pregnancy kill a mother? Most, now very few thanks to western modern medicine, mothers died DURING Childbirth and even that is a very rare event. Most "mothers" would sacrifice themselves to save their daughter or son.

Here is a Mother who put her child first and was canonized a saint for doing so.

1 Corinthians 6:19, 20 "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own. You were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body."
