Unless you can tell the future you have absolutely NO idea if the child will be miserable. Heck, even if the child is born poor, it does not mean the child will stay poor. Just because the child is born into a poor family does not mean the cild will be miserable, or turn to crime. > I am being picky about your words because they trivialize the > many women who > have an abortion not because its "convenient" but because it > would ruin > their lives and the life of the child not to.

They just have to screw someone. Let me split this up a bit because I feel you are bringing up a few different topics here. First, I said convenient to mark the difference between a woman who has to have an abortion because her life is in danger and one who chooses to. I don't feel like I have to defend myself when it comes to women. If you have a problem with my word, then please accept my apology. However, now I think the distinction is made, so can we accept that there _is_ a difference? Secondly - "ruin the life of the cild" - again - I ask you to look at my first paragraph. You do not know if the child's life will be bad. Again, just because a person is poor doesn't mean they are miserable. I know people who barely make any amount of money. Sure they wan't more, but are they miserable, no. Also, the last time I checked - everyone feels miserable at some point in their life. Think about the last time you felt really, really bad. You probably wanted to die. I know I've been there. Am I glad I didn't off myself? heck yes! Thirdly - what about woemn who use BCP and get pregnant anyway? To me, this is an accident. However, the use of abortion is not appropriate. Again, using my earlier email - I may _want_ to seal something instead of paying for it - but I can't. Lastly - your comment on men. You would not allow me to make such a statement about women (all women are #insert#), so why make it about men? It's unfortunate that so many men are assholes, but you cannot say that about all men. Are you saying some women don't have abortions so they won't have to deal with the responsibility? As it stands - a man's role is more than just screwing someone. The woman may have the child for 9 months, but both parents have the child for 18 years. -ray ______________________________________________________________________ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
