We all do things that we may regret and “suffer consequences” that we can do nothing about. Pro-abortionists think the choice happens after the conception, not so. The choice comes well before the conception.

Pro-abortionists make the women out to be victims and the men the perpetrators. What about people who are in car accidents that were in no way their fault? They suffer TRUE consequences that they have no control over. Sometimes the person who caused the accident come away with no consequences what so ever.

I would have to say I am pro-choice before the conception. After the conception you should only have 2 choices. Keep the child or adopt the child out.

I believe we should re-direct the discussion of abortion. If we can address the guilt of those that have already been involved in infanticide, we can get them in a state of mind of repentance and absolution instead of justification.

“I would have to say I am pro-choice before the conception. After the conception you should only have 2 choices. Keep the child or adopt the child out.”

Agreed. Here’s my analogy. I have the right to do with my body what I wish when it is only me that faces the consequences. If I were to visit a friend with a baby and picked up that baby, I have temporarily forfeited the right to simply drop my arms and let the baby fall. I have both a moral and legal obligation to get that baby to a place of safety before I again have complete sovereignty over my body. To me, pregnancy is the same thing. Having created a new life, I have a moral obligation to get that baby to a place of safety if it can be done without taking my own life.

Ironically, the more serious the consequences of our choices, the less that choice would be made. Taking away consequences makes the choice more palatable and common. To many people, societal condemnation reeks of puritanism or worse, but it has its purpose in discouraging the harmful activity in the first place. “Tolerating” (since tolerance now is raised to the level of acceptance) immorality, homosexuality, casual marriage, cheating, graft, dishonesty, and so much else has led to exponential growth in those societal cancers. Speaking truth to power and imposing consequences leads to heartache for some but probably prevents heartache for ten for every one that experiences it.
