I suppose I am going to receive some "backlash" from this post.... but here goes. I agree with you on some of the things you posted, but not all things.
There were a few things in the post which I would like to bring up, not in order though, so everyone, please bear with me.
I know that I see posts where women mention that they would agree with abortion for alot of reasons, but 2 of those really I misunderstood, due to the information and experience I have had directly/indirectly. The first mentioned reason was rape, statistically speaking, are you all aware that only 3 % of ALL abortions performed a year are a result of rape? 3 %? I remember (with permission), talking with a young girl who came to me for advice and help with her "unplanned pregnancy". She had stated to me that she was raped, and she was a 14 year old. She said to me "I dont care how this baby was conceived, I am still going to love my baby and give him/her the chance to live." . To be honest with you, I sat there in disbelief, but I was honored that I was sitting with someone so young and strong, and confident. Really, the one medical reason I would agree with would be if a woman had a tubal pregnancy.
That is it.
I have several friends with different circumstances, and a circustance of my own. A friend told me that her baby had hydrocephalus, and she still gave birth and held her son for eight hours, until he passed. She said that it hurt really bad, but she wouldnt trade that time for the world.
I knew a woman (actually a couple of women) that were told that their doctors were sure 100 % that their babies had down syndrome, but they didnt care what the doc said, they just stated that they would love their child however long the child was blessed with life. When their babies were born, THEY HAD ABSOLUTELY NO DOWN SYNDROME. I wonder how many women were told that?
Of my own experience, my now 2 year old son.... I was told that he would only live possibly a week after he was born, and was treated like I was the walking dead by a "genetic counselor". I told her I didnt care If I only held him for 20 minutes, I would do so and love him for as long as I could....REGARDLESS.... COME TO FIND OUT, the testing was wrong, and he is an EXTREMELY HAPPY AND HEALTHY child.
I had a miscarriage this past November, and my baby would actually be born today. I was 11 weeks along, and after my miscarriage, I held his tiny body in the palm of my hand, I touched all of his 10 fingers and 10 toes, I saw his heaufiful blue eyes. I saw his fully formed body, just needing longer to get big. Nothing can change that or take that beautiful image of my son from me.
I must admit, there was a poster on this sight who mentioned that "me and my girl"... would try to use all of these methods for an abortion. He mentioned that he would want ther to try the least harmful.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? You would actually EXPECT your girlfriend to TRY ABORTION METHODS....THAT COULD KILL HER? If she does die, have you no conscience? You do realize that if you are helping her and she does die that you perhaps could be an accesory to murder?
Forget the murder charge, when you have love for someone, YOU WILL NOT want them to put themselves in ANY DANGER.... OR LIFE THREATING POSSIBLE SITUATION regardless of the reason why !!!
I will not preach at you, I am a believer in Christ.... but you really should purchase a study bible and study about how precious life is to Him. There is NO WAY in the bible that there could EVER be a misconception that abortion is something that Jesus would want. It speaks of him HEALING PEOPLE, not taking life. Even when Lazarus dies, he brought him back to life. Before you chastize someone else on the bible, you really should study it for yourself.
I would hope that you would think of "your girl"s life to be more precious that you spoke, to have her get into a situation where she very well could die.
Oh, and if medical care were free, try and research what kind of medical care it would be.

To all the women who are scared and dont know where to turn, I understand what you are feeling. My family has completely turned their backs on me because I am young, unmarried and got pregnant. But hey, if people want to be that shady, so be it. They are not worth it anyway. I do ask that you just be careful with whatever you choose to do, dong quai and black cohosh are good herbal pills to take to help along a miscarraige. I used both on my first pregnancy. Do not listen to ignorant up tight bastards who try to put you down. You are a WOMAN and you can do anything. Everything will be fine if you are careful. You ALWAYS have options! more power to you!!
so to hell with all you judgemental people
do whats best for YOU and you alone!
Vit. C will work. It has worked for me this time. It is considered a myth because it's success is not as high as the other pills and they assume it a coincidence.
i m girl nw learning in std.12th n may b i m pregnent. i m nt sure about dat bt i m too frightent.
plz sir help me n how should i avoid this pregnancy???
I think some posters are rather unscrupulous. I hear the talk that "it's my body and I'll do with it as I please". That doesn't cut it for me. I hate the idea of abortion. It will always be murder to me. To nonchalantly brush it off as if you are taking an aspirin to relieve minor aches and pain is pure deception. I know countless women that have suffered severe depression and attempted suicide from having an abortion. There may be some that act like it doesn't bother them but I guarantee you it does. In my book once the egg is fertilized life begins. And to terminate that life has consequences.
To not want to be bothered by an unwanted pregnancy is sheer immaturity an and sign you probably have no business in sexual relations to begin with.
To want to terminate due to illness or risk of birth defect may be more of a reasonable concern but should still not be decided without professional input.
To terminate due to rape and molestation is also a more understandable reason. There should be counseling.
To be asking for home remedies on how to kill a baby is unfortunate. But God Bless America, right? I don't think so. God gives life, not man. And God "loaned" humans the bodies we live in to manage them properly. We did not design or create ourselves. Therefore I do not see how people arrogantly proclaim it is "my body". Show me the blue prints that you designed. You are the steward of the body, not the owner. The body will return to the dust when you die and be no more. You will have no say over it.
For all the people in the world that want to love a baby, to go and kill one because it now interferes with your plans is shameful and despicable. Don't curse yourself. Because I assure you, a curse will fall on your head when you end the life of an unborn child. They have no means of self defense. They are subject to the whims of so-called adults.
I often joke, but am rather serious when I say, what if all the people who reserve the right to have abortions were aborted when conceived? You had a chance to live and breathe and experience life. And now you decide to rip that human right away from someone else. Someone who very well may be the next doctor to cure cancer or end world hunger. And you allow forceps to rip them out of your body like a tumor. Or you take pills to dissolve the fetus and wash away the tissue.
I wonder how many "right to choose" people have the nerve to also be against animal cruelty. The people that throw buckets of blood on women that buy fur coats and wear makeup. It would be awfully hypocritical to sanction the slaughter of innocent children while defending a whale or a cat or dog.
I am passionate about this subject ever since I wrote a paper on it in college. The professor ripped me and gave me a bad grade. And I have always thought that it was due to her anger toward my position rather than my writing skills. Well, be angry if you must. God Bless American, right? I am a free citizen that enjoys my liberty to declare my opinions. And I do so without denying anyone their liberty and freedom. It's what makes the world go around.
I think there are more cases and scenarios than what I mentioned above surrounding the decision to have an abortion. But life is beautiful. And everyone should be protected so that they can enjoy it for however brief or long it may be. What are we doing if we won't even allow someone out of the starting gate? I have always been convinced by the biblical and universal law, that; you reap what you sow. Whether a sincere or selfish decision, having an abortion demands discussion, counseling and an objective look at the right to live.
I competley agree. more bluntly you spred your legs, you chose not to be protected, grow up an have a baby. if ur growen enough to have sex ur growen enough to deal with what comes from it
