Pro-Choice Motherhood

Before I begin, I would just like to say that I am a Catholic, and that I am not for murder or abortion and that I would never do either, this is not for fear of going to Hell, it is because I believe that your blood is your blood and when you kill your blood you kill yourself, but if a women wants to make that choice, she has the right to, and who am I to stop her, but here are my questions for her: Did she take birth control pills and get pregnant on accident? Was she raped? Did she consider adoption? Is their something wrong with the physical or well-being of that woman and/or the child? What is the relationship with her mother and her father, is this a bad relationship? Is this woman ready for what will happen after the abortion? (Many women have told me that abortions hurt worse than the birth and that emptiness and guilt begin to take over them.) If she said "no" to any or all of these questions, then she has no reason to abort this baby. If she "yes" then she should consider her morals, if she has any, and consider what is best for her and that unborn child. Again, it is her to decide, but my mother raised me to value all and any life, no matter what it is, and to show compassion for those who are innocent and have no voice. See my avatar, that is my daughter, Goldie, she turned 9 this week, and I became her mom in the summer of 1997. She is not related to me of course, but she is my baby, my little girl. I hand raised her and we are like two peas in a pod. I love her as if she were my real daughter, and here is the thing, she was dropped on my door step and she was only three to four weeks of age. I cannot imagine my life without her. My mother hated my father and what he did to her and how he made her feel, but she and I are best-friends and we are always there for each other, she would never have given me up or aborted me. Through all of my problems and her problems we stuck together and got through it. Think about it? To those of you who have a good relationship with your mom or to those of you who will become mothers, that is your blood. Forget the father for a bit, and think about you and that baby. That is your blood. Killing your blood, means killing yourself, hating that baby means that you hate yourself.

I am not judging. If a woman has done it or wants to do it I cannot stop her and I will not do so, but I have a question to every woman in here: Would you do it? That is your child and your blood. Would you do it? I cannot kill my own blood and I cannot kill an innocent life. I am not cold and heartless. There are ways that that pregnancy could have been prevented before that point. Birth control, not having sex to begin with, you know, abstinence. These women who have abortions, have them from the seond week of life into the second trimester, when the heart and brain have developed. I was told that the moment you are that far along, even one week along, that that is a baby. A life. A woman who aborts their own life usually has issues within herself that she has never addressed, she does not care for herself, so she does not care for the child. My mother loved me enough to keep me, to care for me, I will do the same for my own, no matter the circumstances. Listen, I know everyone in here is a feminist and I get that everyone thinks that an unwanted child is an unwanted child so who cares about it, but did you not make that unwanted child? Would it not be heartless, selfish, and cold to kill yourself, since that is what you are doing to you child? I know that you women must not all be cold and heartless. Just because you are a feminist does not mean that you cannot have a heart. I come from a family were women do all of the work, we use men only to have a child. Whether the man stays around or not is his decision, but we know they normally do not, they go off to war, die, or they are not strong enough to handle the responsibilty, in any case, we are like Amazons and raise our own. We teach them strength and honor and that every life, no matter what it is, has a value. You have to fight for life. I know that many of you may not believe this, but you must all know that you came here for a reason and I know it was not to kill yourselves.

What was in her heart then? Did she have one? Do you have a heart? I mean seriously, would you do that to yourself or your child? I had a male friend, who's girl-friend aborted their child. He was angry because even though she did not want that child, he did. He and his family wanted that child. My cousin's wife was about to do the same to her twins. My twin cousins, my whole family was angry when she said, "I never wanted these babies." If she never wanted those two beautiful babies, then why did she marry my cousin? Why did she get pregnant? Why did play with my cousin's heart in that way? I cannot have a child of my own, and deep down, one day, I want a child, not now because I am only 21, but when I am older, married maybe, but I do want one. You know what, I would adopt if I had to. Life is so small and so short and it only last so long. I am offensive. What about people who kill, who kill themselves, who kill their children, who kill any human in general? Is that not offensive? I know you want to be right, I get that, and I know you are a feminist, I get that too, but just because you are a feminist does not mean you have to be heartless. "I got pregnant by the wrong man." "No one loves me." "The father does not want to stick around." "I am depressed." These are all excuses that women give out to get rid of a baby. Feminist does not mean heartless.

I was not the product of rape. My mother and father did love each other at one time, my father left her, but she kept me anyway, and even if I was, I would not hate myself, or if my child was a product of rape, I would still keep the baby, it has my blood. Okay, well maybe I am pro-life, but so what if I am? I am a loving person. I would not hate the woman who had an abortion, but I would counsel her, and talk to her, and tell her that you one will see what you have done and when the aftermath hits you, you will feel pretty guilty about it. Oh, and why is no one answering the question: Would you abort your child or are you all afraid to answer that question? You know what this is pointless, feminist are heartless. What was I thinking coming in here and trying to talk to any of you about this? None of you even care about your own lives. I bet half of the women in here are on the verge of suicide.

I believe if you read my post, I did answer your question.

I also edited the phrase that you resented.

Now why don't you go back to your post title "Pro Choice" and edit to more correctly say "pro life".

I am pro-life. I care deeply for the unborn - because they could actually be born, they have a soul, they have been created for a purpose, they could be the person who cures cancer, and at the very least my heart breaks because they have nerve endings formed at the time of their murder. This is a modern day holocaust. Only 1% of abortions are to save the mothers life, 5-6% are for rape and incest, 93% are for CONVENIENCE. 16,000 a day people - JUST IN THE USA. The people who vote these blood mongers into office have the blood of these unborn children on their hands - it is dripping from the voting booths. I would hate to be one of you when your time comes. You want choice? Keep your pants on, get married,or choose abstinence until you can take care of your God-given responsibilities. At the very least choose adoption. There are very loving families out there who can't get pregnant. 93% for CONVENIENCE - stop your crap about the mothers health, it is actually one of two things, either the mother is too selfish to let her baby live and be loved by another family or baby hating leftists have brainwashed her into thinking this is for her health when really it is a numbers game for a political agenda lined with blood money.
