She's going to all this expense and trouble because she wants to conceive, not abort. Isn't that supposed to be the "life" position?

This is quite different from someone who finds themselves unintentionally pregnant and makes the right choice to carry the child to term. This is a selfish woman thinking only of her own desires, and giving no thought whatsoever to the needs of the child.

So, no, spending money and chasing around trying to get a human toy to fulfill selfish desires is NOT the 'life' position as you call it.

“So, no, spending money and chasing around trying to get a human toy to fulfill selfish desires is NOT the ‘life’ position as you call it.”

A human toy? What one thinks about single women using a sperm bank to conceive is one thing, but reducing any woman’s desire for children to a desire for a human toy is a little bizarre. You don’t know her motives. And, any human who desires a child might also be wishing for a “human toy”, including married couples. There is no shortage of fathers or mothers who have their egos far too involved in their children’s lives: toddler beauty pageants, sports at all levels, the opportunities are endless for every sort of parent.;

So a woman trying to fulfill her basic instinct to conceive and raise a child by herself if necessary is being "selfish" if she uses today's technology? Whereas a single woman is being a "hero" if she volunteers to give birth to the hellspawn of a rapist? Yes, someone actually argued this in a thread just yesterday.

This is why I'm not a Lifer.
