I've lived my life sitting on the fence of this issue and not really caring one way or the other except that I knew that I couldn't do it myself. It wasn't until I had my own son that I became a passionate Pro-Lifer. <br /><br />Several months ago, I got attacked in a "Childless by Choice" forum by asking a question of them that, at the time, was innocent. It was just me wanting to know if they used abortion as a form of their birth control. I admit now that is a pretty heavy question to ask of anyone, but they had encouraged questions of outsiders who wanted to get to know them better. Needless to say, I was attacked by the members because I didn't read the hundreds of posts first before I asked that question. At the time I really did just want to know as a way to understand them better. Ah, well, can't take it back.<br /><br />Anyway, you give me courage to stand up for what I believe in.DragonMommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15787668841388722747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-5366671193427116752009-01-25T13:43:00.000-06:002009-01-25T13:43:00.000-06:00As a member of the [orthodox] Catholic center-left...As a member of the [orthodox] Catholic center-left...<BR/><BR/>*sigh*Hidden Onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06042188431683942338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-16045988724896309282009-01-24T23:03:00.000-06:002009-01-24T23:03:00.000-06:00Paul ~ Thanks, and you've got an awesome post!

They bring in religion where religion wasn't mentioned. <BR/><BR/>IR ~ Thank you. <BR/><BR/>Scarlett ~ You're so right. I hope you follow through on that project...it needs to be done. The information is out there, of course, but I think we all need a good "primer" to aid us. You'd certainly be doing the pro-life movement a service!Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-6284375619550964382009-01-24T17:27:00.000-06:002009-01-24T17:27:00.000-06:00I've found that some people will just close their ...I've found that some people will just close their ears to anything that even sounds "religious." There's often no point in even arguing from the perspective that "life is sacred." I've been thinking about this, and contemplating a series of posts on "Good Secular Arguments Against Abortion" - because there are plenty.Scarletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425024886500147127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-40143302217719420402009-01-24T15:49:00.000-06:002009-01-24T15:49:00.000-06:00Adoro,Most excellent.Adoro,<BR/><BR/>Most excellent.ignorant redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718783732896413346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-63853109060866665602009-01-24T05:01:00.000-06:002009-01-24T05:01:00.000-06:00Great post Adoro.I've been in the same situation, ...Great post Adoro.<BR/><BR/>I've been in the same situation, although a few times I've found myself facing accusations of being ignorant because I blindly believed everything my religion told me. <BR/>Only problem was, I never even mentioned one word of any religious belief or teaching. None at all. I just stuck to the medical facts and nothing else.<BR/><BR/>People will always feel uncomfortable if you suggest that they might be wrong.Mrs Doylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872007851868294609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-18343064450069749292009-01-24T01:53:00.000-06:002009-01-24T01:53:00.000-06:00AdoroExcellent post.

The Constitution doesn't say a teacher can't speak about her faith. Illegal law does, but not the Constitution. <BR/><BR/>We live in a country with laws founded upon bad philosophy. It's a bad system that leads only to greater errors...such as not being able to teach properly in a public school. <BR/><BR/>Soon teachers in private schools won't be able to speak either.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-51412784337817235252009-01-23T22:24:00.000-06:002009-01-23T22:24:00.000-06:00my wife, the science teacher, never considered [at...my wife, the science teacher, never considered [at least not seriously] teaching in the public schools - though she could have doubled to tripled the money she earned in the small parochial school, she realized that she could bring God into the conversation freely and intentionally - she couldn't do that in public schooluncle jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01879341171634900790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-39180460330913057372009-01-23T20:56:00.000-06:002009-01-23T20:56:00.000-06:00Rachel ~ Well said.

Debates like that aren't just emotionally draining, they wreck your emotion and put major dents in your armor.<BR/><BR/>And I agree with you on what would happen nowadays with arguments--having had debates over this sort of thing now, it's exactly what happens. Slaughterhouses aren't pleasant.<BR/><BR/>I needed to read this--thank you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
