No, I'm opposed to it period, but I'm NOT for the government having that kind of control over such personal decisions. But then. If they were, maybe we wouldn't have to be making the decision because it wouldn't be an option.

As you've admirably stated, there is no middle ground. My question is why you can't choose a side.

If it is a legitimate "decision," then any choice is legitimate, but if one of the possible decisions is murder, how is it a legitimate choice for the individual?

And murder, in it's plain form is outlawed, so why is it permitted for the most helpless of all?

I thank you for your comment, and I think it seems that I have not taken a stand. And many would think that I am 'on the fence' as it were, but no. I have taken a stand and am most assuredly pro-life. I vote pro-life, I support pro-life candidates, and what's most, is that I encourage my friends in need to CHOOSE life. But in the end, that is their choice, and they have to live with it.

I can say this much however... the two girls that came closest to abortion that came to me for help... One girl kept her baby after offering him to me to adopt (it was NOT a good time for me to try *that*!), but decided to keep him - for which she has been eternally grateful and serene. However... the younger girl who did not listen and/or agree to the things which I taught her... she hates herself more than she can say, and is no longer counted among my friends. Mainly because she didn't like it when I confronted her on her 'morning-after pills' after knowing she'd had 3 abortions. *CRY*!

The only way that I can take a stand is personally, and to speak out and educate as much as I can. At least until someone decides to get off their duff and take a stand on the Hill. That the courts won't overturn. As much as I am about personal freedom and choice (but more so responsibility and accountability) - murder of the unborn is among the most heinous crime man commits.

But I have a question.... why is that Germany outlawed it after seeing what the Nazi Regime did, but then we graciously allowed it? My husband asked a very sad question when we were discussing this the other day: I wonder how many geniuses we have lost that were never born to life?
