I am very offended by the B**love post

We used to have no abortion and now we do.
Abortion used to be against the law!!

We used to have no abortion, abortion used to be against the law? That's really flawed. MANY things, including abortion, used to be against the law. This doesn't mean we didn't have them.

BTW, the first recorded abortion (~2600 BC) was around way before the first recorded law (~2350 BC).

So yeah, I guess we used to have no abortion, more than what, 4600 years ago? But law has nothing to do with it.

Don't tell me you'd also blame liberals for abortions 4600 years ago?

Wheetsin, as usual, beat me to it. 396, how does "abortion used to be against the law" equate to "we used to have no abortion"? They are very much NOT the same thing.

I've been gone and now I'm back only to discover that a thread on "boylove?" has progressed to a debate about religion and now abortion. Shocking.

To read someone declare that... before there was no abortion and now there's abortion, makes me want to cry. How can people say such flippant things about something that is so important?

I know there are many cases where I have misunderstood something a person has posted. So I get how this whole thread has managed to burn a person or two and has caused unfounded attacks. Mark has tried to get some of you to understand why he started this thread. In the beginning some people seemed to get it. The discussion ensued and it looked like something good was going to come of the thread.

Now people have decided Mark is an insensitive guy and there used to be no abortions. Come on people. Try to not get so personal and try to think logically and you're going to learn and have fun posting.

BTW, I appreciate Bubble's heartfelt post. It gives us all some insight into why some people do not want prayer allowed in public schools. My husband went to Catholic schools. His stories are not as gruesome. He's quite a bit younger than Bubble's father. But he has some that would curl your hair and that bother him to this day.

If you went to parocial school, or any Christian or religious school and you didn't have prejudice crammed down your throat in one way or other, you're the lucky ones.

If you have been around a while and have never encountered a female who has had to deal with an unwanted pregnancy, you're the lucky one.

What I meant to say in the original post was that we used to have no legal abortions in this country. now we do. it seems pretty clear to me!

You do realize, of course, that most people support a woman's right to choose if she wishes to go through with a pregnancy?

It is your religious belief that abortion is bad, that doesn't mean others should follow your religion. Heck, many many people within your religion do not see the problem with abortion.

BTW, you still haven't answered my previous question.

Isn't it amazing how many nutjobs out there would disagree with what you write? I can't stomach even reading an abortion debate and one of the many reasons for that is the thinking that if a woman is going to commit murder (as if that was even possible with abortion) she has it coming. So let abortions be unsafe.

Sheesh.

so those who agree with having abortion made illegal are nutjobs? pretty broad brush to paint people with.

That isn't what I wrote AT ALL. Please reread it, I was pretty clear.

Hopefully noone is getting seriously offended here now, the topics being discussed are really fascinating to see the different opinions in 'one room' so to speak. I guess we surround ourselves (well, some of us) in what we are. I'm not use to ANYONE saying they are 'for' abortion. Generally speaking everyone I know (including myself) believes in extreme circumstances, re: will kill the mother, rape, incest- it's ok.. otherwise, no. We all complain about how cushy prison is.. I say this from experience.. I haven't been to prison, but my brother and both of my fiance's brothers have done 10 years collectively, and every single one of them thought it was a joke. And all 3 are the type of people that needed repercussions to straighten them out, which they didn't get...because of how cushy prison was for them.

I'm normally alone however in the group of people believing death penalty is a good thing. Let's keep this thread rolling along!

I can't speak about prisons other than the one in tent city and that's a jail. But I don't believe I'd want to be in any of them.

I don't think anyone is really FOR abortion, I believe they are for a woman's right to choose. Pretty big difference there.

Good, then what's the problem? Abortions were illegal for about 100 years. Then someone got smart. Now they are not illegal. Seems pretty clear, I agree!

I guess boylove ,a monster penis and busting virgin vagina's and rectums just all go under the same category.

I just need to ignore them .

Ok

edie

Mmmmm! Monster penis! ;) :Banane56: :Banane26: :P

Inappropriate, possibly. But it made me laugh nonetheless.

(tee hee)

I haven't seen the boylove thread, but I love my boy very much. (He'll be 2 in June) :D

Obviously I stopped reading this thread on page 1, when the topic was boylove. LOL My bad for interrupting your argument (smile) with inappropriate dancing bananas at the thought of (Mmmmmmm!) monster penis.

My bad.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
