  1. Do you know that some pain isn't controlled by meds...sometimes the pain is so bad that the meds don't even take the edge off...so you would rather that a person be all doped up on pain meds and barely aware of what's around them then to have the dignity to die? That's pretty messed up...
  2. lol...It's people who don't know what pain some go through that think it is sad and wrong to let them have their life ended because they no longer wish to endure. Have you ever watched a loved one die of painful cancer...there was nothing to stop it and they were going to die, but because it is illegal to allow them to do so they must spend their last days...maybe even months in pain you couldn't even begin to stomach! It should be just like a DNR...what is a DNR if not a paper that says allow me to die with dignity.?
  3. In the case of Euthanasia it should be the choice of the individual or the power of attorney (mother, spouse, father, whoever)...
  4. So them having a baby is a mistake...? Yes I am super serious.
  5. Hell I think we should be able to euthanize people too...if they're quality of life is really bad...like if they have a terminal illness or are severly disabled...
  6. So what...she'll be a "teen"ager until she's 20! She was 17...she was just saying what she meant then and now she is saying what her mommy wants in order to still look good!
  7. I don't really remember the exact wording, but I know that she used the word never... Thank you :eek: It is truely a miracle...let us hope that this bun cooks the whole 9 months :glare: lol
  8. That's right the fetus has NO choice in the matter. I think she needs to be a woman and admit that she thought about abortion...that it crossed her mind. You cannot say never in that situation, especially when it crossed her mind at least once!!
  9. Yeah, our first impulse MAY not be the right one, but on the other hand it may be the right one...whether it is the right one according to someone else...it my be the right one for the individual...If a woman wants to abort her fetus because she finds out it will be born with Downs or Spina Bifida...then that should be her choice and her choice alone
  10. So far I am only 4 weeks...lol. I haven't told any of my friends or family...well my husband. We are very worried that something is going to go wrong. I do have a lot of medical concerns. I go for my first appointment on the 15th and I will be discussing them there. Hopefully this bun will bake the whole 9 months lol. My husband and I had gotten the go ahead the beginning of April to start trying again and off the BC and here we are...it happened a lot fast than we expected especially since a lot of the doctors said I wouldn't be able to get pregnant again...well....6 home tests later lmao...I am so excited, but also so so scared Thank you for the good wishes
  11. Ok...I know it's been a while since I've stopped by...for some reason I wasn't getting my update emails...personally I suspect Gadget :thumbsup: lol. Anyways, I have some news....I'M PREGNANT!!! lol Exciting I know :thumbup: Yes, this was a planned pregnancy. My husband and I were finally ready to try for baby #2 lol. Anyways...I'm still pro choice :grouphug:
  12. I am on Lamactil, Lexapro, and Depacote. I didn't have any problems with my meds. Some people may need the dosage changed and you always need to follow up on it to make sure that everything is working well. The surgery does change things...losing weight changes things. Good luck!
  13. I understand what a scenerio is...I am not an idiot. I am just say while yeah it may be in some peoples power to help people, but they are not forced to...Just because one person has more money then the other doesn't mean they are forced to give that money to others...I donate to charities, but I do it because I want to, not because the government is forcing a choice upon me because it will help someone else!
  14. So if a 16 year old is driving drunk and kills a family of four, not only are his parents responsible for his actions, but all of us should be held accountable? That is ridiculous and you know it.
  15. I'm sorry, but I don't believe that for one second...There is no way if a child has cancer and has no way to pay for treatment that you would indure whatever you needed to to get the money for it...because if it was the case then those kids would be getting money from you now...right? You cannot be everyones mother or "Savior"...it's just not possible!
  16. You are only responsible for your child...the child that you decided to bring into the world...you have no responsibility for my child or a strangers child...The mother is the one that get's to decide if she is ready to take on those responsibilities, no one else should be allowed to make her life decisions for her...they are HERS...not YOURS! :glare:
  17. Let's change your scenerio just a little...would you do that same thing for someone elses child? Someone that you do not know and a child you have never met?
  18. Sure the "founders" of this country wanted it to be set up for their religion, but the natives that lived here before were not Christian...what about them? To people who do not believe in your "God" none of that Bible talk means anything.
  19. Because the 1 month old infant has been born. The beating of it's heart is on it's own and is strong enough to beat without the incubation of the mother's body. A 1 month old baby has had a heartbeat, unassisted for 1 month...it is a baby that has been born...
  20. Of course not, but to me an abortion is not wrong so therefore it would not be deliberately doing wrong. I just want to say...well ask I guess...is there a statistic for how many people actually tell the truth when asked a question for a survey...?
  21. In a perfect world....maybe, but this world is far from perfect! However, if the doctors know that the birth of the baby will kill the mother, then it should be okay too just let the captain go down with the ship?
  22. Yes and the fetus can be removed so the mother's heart will continue to beat...well that is as long as abortion is legal...
  23. Yes and without the mother the beating stops.
