who supports right to choose

"Thus why God planned for men and women to get married, and then have sex and children. He planned for the parents to care for them. And rape, incest and sexual imorality was not in his plan.

Even so, there is no reason why in an unperfect world women who get pregnant can't protect the child until it is born. Why make 2 wrongs out of 1? "

Problem is that whether it was in his plan or not, people are not all getting married and having children. If everyone were getting married and having children I doubt seriously if the question of choice would be much of a factor, would it?

You're giving a solution to a problem that isn't real. We're dealing in the real world, not one that we wish were real.

Forcing women (and their impregnators) to bring children into this world because you think that's God's plan just doesn't work and it is not a good solution to something that although perhaps God didn't plan it, is quite real.

You say it takes a village, in so many words, and then you say you disagree with Clinton who says it takes a village. It might be that you disagree with Clinton just because she's a Clinton. Ya think?

It takes a village (or all the people) to stop harm from coming to innocent people. It doesn't take a village to RAISE a child, like Clinton states.

Just because the majority in the world doesn't do what's right, does that mean we should make our laws to go according to the wrong doers?

Wrong doers? Evil doers? I have a feeling that anyone who doesn't agree with your interpretation of the Bible and doesn't share your spiritual beliefs is an "evil doer" or a "wrong doer".

I was interested to hear Sarah Palin's comments at a recent speech, discussing when she found out her unborn son was disabled:

“There just for a fleeting moment I thought, I knew, nobody knows me here. Nobody would ever know. I thought, wow, it is easy. It could be easy to think maybe of trying to change the circumstances. No one would know. No one would ever know," she said.

Ultimately, she told the audience it was time to "walk the walk" concerning her pro-life views.

It's a refreshing bit of honesty and reality from a politician.

It was definitely refreshing. I may not agree with the way she conducts politics, but I do respect that she lives the life she preaches.

Her daughter "walked the walk" too. They obviously are a very supportive family and that is a very good thing because her daughter needs it now and will for a long time.

This seems like a really odd headline but it's actually a really sweet story of a husband supporting his wife, and of healing after a lifetime of pain:

That is a really odd story.

"But terminating the pregnancy caused her so much pain that she tried to cover it with "drugs, alcohol, partying and a promiscuous lifestyle," she told radio host Rich Buhler in an interview with KBRT AM-740."

Great piece of "news" from our favorite "news" source: Fox News.

Anyone besides me think that this could be another couple who are doing all they can to further their argument against women's right to choose, rather than a sincere effort for the man to "adopt" dead tissue - which, btw, makes no sense at all on the face of it. It's shocking, I'll give them that. But then methinks that is the idea.

Last point being, I'm sure that she did no "drugs, alcohol, partying" and didn't have a "promiscuous lifestyle" prior to her first pregnancy. She was a totally virtuous young lady, who was simply taken advantage of by some big bad boy. Only after the first abortion did she ignorantly choose to have unprotected sex that resulted in a second unwanted pregnancy and second abortion. Great story. Heart warming.

I'm with BJean on this one...

I don't know how I missed these comments before, but I am surprised and saddened at the judgment and lack of compassion. Surely you must know that some mothers, perhaps many, suffer greatly after abortion? Many of them have even been on this thread in the past, expressing their dismay at their earlier "choice". I'm not saying all suffer, but certainly many do and their pain is great. To dismiss someone's experiences and their very real pain by calling them ignorant? Very sad.
