Controversial Topics

[momamomma1]

LOL!! ^^ to both pics.

And no Greg, I don’t think that a woman who has 2 more kids than me is irresponsible b/c she’s got those kids, I think she’s irresponsible b/c she doesn’t refer to parenting her children as that, she refers to it as “dealing” with them… and how I’ve got it so much easier. If there’s that much resentment over being a mother to children that you VOULUNTARILY brought ito this world… that is irresponsible.

It’s not a crime to say you don’t want kids. It should be a crime, however, how our society puts pressure on young women to “listen you their clocks” and have babies…like it’s some right of passage. I just want to scream " You’re not cool b/c you have kids… you’re not special b/c you have no time to yourself… you decided to make yourself a martyr for your children… nobody else did that for you."

Would it really be so bad if less of us decided to have kids? Not everyone is cut out to be a parent… and that’s not a bad thing!

El BAstarde… I’m also gald you brought up the point about adoption. We’ve all heard my personal brush with that before…but I just have to say it IS a viable option… and a great one.

I wasn’t saying I don’t deserve to be alive. I’m saying that I’m the second of two kids my parents had. And that’s enough. And if my parents had decided after having my sister that they couldn’t afford/handle another kid, I’d have been fine with being an abortion.

I’m glad my mom put me up for adoption. Living is pretty cool.

[alright]

Greg, your sentiment kind of mirrors mine. I don’t know that I’d go so far as to say I’m pro-abortion, b/c quite frankly I’m very ANTI-abortion, but I’m a very big proponent for safe sex and protecting yourself BEFORE you have to make that decision. If everyone were so responsible, we wouldn’th have to worry about the abortion issue so much.

I mean how hard is it to take the pill? Or put on a condom? I mean there’s always abstinence too, but I’m not going to go all radical and crazy on you…it’s not for everyone. I definitely agree that something needs to be done to change the mindset of the american public on this issue.

It’s like some sick one-up game. I was at the grocery store just the other day and I saw a magazine that actually had the headline " The hot new accessory - Babies". I mean WTF??? A Baby? As a Fashion Statement? Or how about when I go to pick up my son from school and I get dirty looks for the mothers there that have 3 and 4 kids b/c I only had one. One of them actually had the nerve to tell me I didn’t know what being a mother was like since I only had to “deal” with one! Believe me, I had a lot of choice words for her that day, but I kept them to myself seeing as how my child has to go to school there everyday and I’m a reponsible adult - a characteristic that she obviously lacks based on her reproductive decisions.

But then comes my favorite of all… the guilters. I was out sick from work last week and the day that I got back, I had 3 separate people come up to me and tell me " C’mon…just tell us - you’re pregnant aren’t you? That’s why you were out so sick last week. Congratulations!!!" I was like " NO, I’m not pregnent, nor do I want to become pregnant ever again." Which ellicited the most horrified response - “But you’re so young! You could have one or two more easily!!”

Yes, I could have 1 or 2 more… I could have a whole gaggle in fact. I could surgically alter my uterus so that babies would just magically fall out instead of going through labor… but I don’t want to. I don’t understand why there is so much pressure for young women who are in relationships to get pregnant. Maybe if more people realized it’s the quality of your parenting and not the quantity of your kids, we’d be a happier society and a less crowded species.

Or maybe you should get into the kitchen and make me a pie! Banana cream!

Sorry, that was uncalled for, hahahahaha.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

awesomely offensive! I HEART YOU

Um, I’d rather not…

…although I do have a question:

We all know that there are some hardcore trains of thought when it comes to abortion. That every life is sacred and precious no matter what. I get that.

But what if someone who believed that was violently raped and subsequently impregnated? Would they then still keep the baby?

Hey, if I’m going to post a sick thought like that, at least its in the right thread.

[ghost_2000]

If rape is enevitable, sit back and enjoy it.

Also, I don’t think people understood that that wasn’t actually my “quote.”

Bobby Knight said it first.

[spacecoyote]

All the various forms of deities people worship, this god and that god and those gods and that tree…etc…
I find it rather diluted and presumptuous that every one of the devout out there believes that their god is endowed with human attributes, like a conscience, or one step further, self awareness. I know what the Christians will say, “We were created in His image.” Bullshit. If the Christ-god created mankind in its image then god must be a grandiose overweight bipolar maniac.
I believe that IF there is a higher power that that power is beyond human understanding, and if this singular omnipotent being exists I don’t believe this being could possibly have “awareness of self” as we, humans, know it. And if this higher order intelligence is not self-aware than how could anything in our lives be in anyones control other than ourselves?

edit: This power most likely has no concept of Time as we know it either.

Now put that in your chillum and have your friend light it!

I’ve actually thought about that scenario before… since I’m so repulsed by the idea of abortion, it’s a set of circumstances that pro-choicers like to throw at me a lot so I’ve come to expect it from their arsenal.

I think it really has a lot to do with the person and their ability to detach the obvious heinous nature of the offense from the innocent life that was spawned during it. That woman will probably always remember being raped and violated, whether or not she carries the child… and while it is definitely the most undesirable way to reproduce, the baby is not at fault. I can understand not wanting to live day in day out with a looming reminder of being raped, but 9 months of your life isn’t much to give up so that someone else can live… and people want to adopt healthy babies all the time. You have a beautiful opportunity to usurp a miracle out of tragedy… I say do it, but that’s just me.

Abortion is really one of those topics where there is no right answers…it’s all about what you can personally live with, I think.
