I'm Still voting for her regardless. You got that right! I can't fit that long name into the program I use at work, I would only be able fit Mega Bitch and I don't think that is what Why? intended  This is the reason I hate hyphenated names for women. I can't fit the entire name so I put the first name of husband and wife and one last name into my system, I can't tell you the number of nasty notes and calls I get from women that are offended and want the double hyphenated name. They don't want to hear that there are only so many character spaces in the program... |
| why? 3/19/08 10:29 PM | i was thinking about using a nickname. something like, "so, you were raised by bumper stickers?" the question mark is necessary. |
| pml 3/20/08 1:41 PM | I would like to know if this idiot saves one hundred babies lives if he is willing to open up his check book and raise those kiddies or does he just expect welfare, i/e/ our tax dollars to do it. How about forking some money over for adoptive parents to be able to afford the $25,000 it costs to adopt a baby in this country. When these fanatics put their money where their mouths are, then maybe I will listen but to try to force young unwed women to give up their life because of a mistake that took all of 4 minutes, that is stupidity at it's finest. |

You're right. Cheaper to jusk kill em'. That way we can afford to pay for your health insurance. You have a problem with society helping kids, but no problem wanting tax dollars to support you and your husband - adults with the ability to make choices regarding their lot in life. Pathetic.

| Shiffty 3/28/08 10:20 AM | I am offended by the antics and politicizing of this issue. I was adopted as an infant in 1964 (prior to legalized abortion). Had my birth mother decided that I was not a person but just a choice (should I have cream with my coffee) then I might have been aborted (killed). The insensitivity that you people (right and left who care your both nasty) is despicable. |

My biological mother was only 14 when she had me. If it weren't for the fact that her family was Roman Catholic and PRO-LIFE - I wouldn't be here. For that I am eternally grateful....... |

| pml 3/28/08 12:19 PM | The four minutes comes from watching teenagers on tv in the back of a car  I am not advocating abortion as birth control however I am curious as to why so few young peolple are not choosing adoption. I know many infertile couples who would literally kill for a baby. My husbadn and I are never asking the governmetn to support us. We are asking for affordable quality health insurance for every American which we would be more than willing to pay for equally in our tax dollars just as the British, French and Canadians do. I would like prescriptions to be the same price here as they are in Canada and Mexico and , yes, CUBA. >50 for an inhaler that costs americans $200 per month. I have never even thought for one minute of going on welfare but if a catastrophy befalls us, I would not appreciate getting nothing simply because I refused to have children. In my situation, I am religious about birth control but if I become one of the 1% who gets pregnant, because of my age I would NEED an abortion in order to protect myself. As my husbadn says, he never met the kid, he would prefer I live because I am the one he is in love with and knows yet certain catholic hospitals always save the baby if there is a choice. |

I'm glad you feel that your birth mother made the right choice and it sounds like your parents gave you a loving home. Unfortunately, as PML points out, many many girls decide to keep the baby and generally don't have a *clue* what they're signing on for. I have a friend who was also born before abortion was legal (late 60s) and he is one of the most outspoken advocates for choice I know...his "mother" decided to keep him and his childhood was hell. In his opinion his mother SHOULD have had an abortion rather than put children into an abusive & neglectful environment caused by someone who wasn't ready having kids. |

| dragonrider 3/28/08 12:44 PM | I was born into a family of six kids. My dad used to beat me all the time with the buckle end of his belt, my ma's favorite saying for me was I wish you had never been born and after hearing that and being beat on I agreed with her some days as a child I wish she had chosen abortion. |

Some people are only good for a bad example. It's sad but true and dragonriders post after this one is so sad. Too bad some of our arms here on TalkBack aren't long enough to give a group hug. But here's one going out to you all. We were sorely neglected growing up, but never beaten. No one deserves that. It amazes me still all the strident measures the Humane League goes to to make sure a pet goes to a good home, and yet anyone can sire a child and keep them regardless of their cruelty. |

Unless you have a pre-existing medical condition that would rapidly deteriorate and result in death and your OB doctor specifically told you that you would die if you carried a pregnancy to term, I find it incredibly difficult to believe that you would "NEED to have an abortion to protect yourself." I'm in my 40s and discussed the possibility of having another child with my GYN last year. I was told that, while there are increased risks of diabetes and high blood pressure in your 40s (neither of which need be life-threatening if properly monitored), the bigger issues were infertility and the risk of birth defects in the baby. There have been people who have serious pre-existing medical conditions (HIV, cancer, etc.) who have successfully carried children to term. This leads me to believe that you're over-exaggerating a bit here. QUOTE(dragonrider @ Mar 28 2008, 12:44 PM) [snapback]371513[/snapback] I was born into a family of six kids.

Hopefully, you've found people who love you and have developed some self-love so you no longer think this way.  |

That is so true, Beth.

You are right to some degree, I've had yard sticks broke on me but no belts or anything. My brothers did get it worse in both departments; always being put down, the you'll never amount to anything...you're just like....etc. They did get the belt, eek the memories are surfacing...but you're right, I didn't mind the yard stick b/c how much can it hurt? How long can it last? cause it usually broke ! but the constant wondering when and where you were gonna have a verbal scream fest at home, outside in front of all the neighbors, in the grocery store, in the car (just wanting to jump out sometimes) or when you'll lose a handful of hair...wasn't life grand? Thank God its over and I didn't pick up all my parents and grandparents bad habits in the discipline department. Just wished I could have ran more interference for my younger siblings w/ our step dad, but a lot I didn't know about til many years later. |
| InterestRP08 3/28/08 1:53 PM | The whole pro-life vs. pro-choice is BS in itself. Life vs. Choice is NOT the question, it is simply an idea. The real question is 'When do you think life begins?'. So when does life begin? Because when life begins, that person has a right to life, and a right to liberty, just as much as the mother that is carrying the baby. |

How very sad. My bio dad was killed in a farming accident when I was 9 months old, so I never knew him. Several years later, my mother married the meanest SOB drunk that ever existed because he looked like Clark Gable and he hated me with a passion. He would hit me with anything that was handy. My mother was, and still is, a very weak woman who sat by quietly and let it happen. I was barely 16 when I finished school and got out of that house for good. I can't imagine what it would be like to wish not to have been born. I can honestly say that I've never felt that way. Maybe it's because as long as I can remember, I had the oh yeah, I'll show you attitude. Along with that came a determination that no one would ever mistreat a child of mine and no one ever has. Anyone attempting to do so would have had a 100 lb. tiger b!tch by the tail. I hope you no longer have such feelings. Even when life can seem bad at times, it passes and things get better. |

| dragonrider 3/28/08 4:02 PM | The Supremes decided that life begins with viability who am I to contradict the Supresmes. My only point earlier was that some folks should never be allowed to give birth becuase they lack the ability to give the love and nurturance that every child needs. I have two Korean children, Kim Young Su and Park Jung Ho. Both special needs , thank god they were not terminated but I am left wondering what happened to all the girl babies in Korea that were never put up for adoption. Seems a special needs male child has greater value than a perfectly healthy girl child. Thats the problem with abortion on demand is that some will abort for no other reason than gender, sexual orientation etc. |

| dragonrider 3/28/08 5:10 PM | No but I have a very good friend who does go there. She keeps trying to pull me out of my shell but afraid I am a little agoraphobic. I am not evangelistic so I am more comfortable in my UCC church in New Holland. The new pastor at UCC is really nice she has two mixed race children and is single. Seems like every sunday she has some positive thing to say about sexual orientation in her sermon. |
