re: Children are a Gift

Quoting MommaNoodle:" it's not really your or anyone else's job to "help them choose life over abortion". abortion is a very ... [snip!] ... not your place or anyone else's place to try and change their minds so they have a kid and give it up instead of aborting. "

I totally agree...

Welcome to BG you will probably be hated very quickly....

Everyone needs guidance through what we call life, either if it is from me, you, friend, parent or counselor. Yes, I respect privacy, but everyone's opinion is worth being heard. I never said it was my job to do anything but life is what it should be. We are here because our mothers chose life and I thank my mother for the opportunity to live and to love.

Is it too late to place a bet that she'll be chased off of BG by mobs with virtual pitchforks?

Kay, that attitude will not last long here. Feel free to have your own opinions, but DO NOT judge others based on theirs.

I'm also pro-life, but that is no excuse whatsoever to be judging those who aren't. Guess what, adoption is not an easy choice for a mother to make. It's not a sunshiney and rainbow situation. By choosing adoption, yes that mother is choosing life. But she's also choosing to get the judgements, the stares, and the missed oppurtunities that come with carrying a child for 9 months. Do not fool yourself into thinking that adoption is the easier way out. It is the harder choice to make, not the easier one. To believe anything otherwise is ignorance, and not proper guidance.

What the smurf are you talking about? And she probably should have aborted you. And if my mom aborted me I wouldnt have felt anything... because I wouldnt be a baby... I was a fetus.. and I have had a long time to think about this because my mom was going to abort me. And I will tell my youngest son that I wanted to abort him.

nope. that's what YOU THINK it should be. what you think, what i think, what the lady who works the counter at the grocery store thinks it should be are all just our own opinions. maybe the lady at the grocery store and i think the same thing. maybe we don't. but what she and i each think are what we each think. i agree that everyone needs guidance at some point in their lives. i have asked for it on occasion. but.... guidance is different from persuasion. you are aiming to persuade. and that's not "guidance"....

I totally agree...

I had to hang my head down in shame everytime everyone looked at me when I was pregant and I was with my oldest son. Then they would ask questions about my pregnancy and names and whatever, adoption is a life long coping process. For me my abortion was a lot easier to get over than the adoption. Which both were after I had my oldest son, who is now going to be 6 in april.

Quoting Yurvette [♥]:" Im sorry but yes that is your view... but wow.. abortion is just as hard as adoption is... And no when ... [snip!] ... you are pregnant you have to think about YOURSELF.... And if you have any other kids...   you are really something else. "

Your child should always be your first priority, that is a mothers heart! I can still see that you have an immaturity about you..."roll", really? You are trying to have a serious conversation. And yes, I am something else....I am a strong woman, I am successful, I am loved, I am blessed beyond measure, I am an educator to youth, I am a God fearing woman, I am a gentle spirit among a few but I am capable of full out laughter at your pathetic advances to bash.

I am not immature by all means. But whatever you say... Im not trying to bash you, Im trying to make it see another way...

Jess, are you actually a mother? Do you have children?

Guess what, I am a God fearing woman as well. And you know what, you are exactly the kind of Christian I strive to not be like.

I never said one choice was easier than the other. Any choice that you make regarding your child is difficult.

I highly think she has no kids.....

I can respect the pro life stance, but when you go on to say other things about how you need to think of the baby instead of yourself... Is what I have a problem with. I have a 6 year old son that I have to think about than a fetus. And I would not put my son through another adoption. So I would be getting an abortion.

This escalated quickly.
