You wrote about politics? That must have been when I couldn’t find you!
I would like to hear your opinion about abortion. I’ve had different view points at different times in my life, and for different reasons.
I’ve been thinking about this, not the abortion issue, but discussing respectfully & realized tonight there are assumptions I make about people that are just as incorrect as the one that bothered me.
I think it’s healthy to speak our mind, it seems that people don’t want to talk about why they believe like they do & to me, that is very important. We have different perceptions for reasons & perhaps your experience can enlighten me & vice versa, know what I mean? (I’m talking in general terms)

Erin and Jane,
Thanks for contributing, I’m always interested to see where other people draw their lines when it comes to morality issues, and more specifically, WHY they think what they do.  One day maybe I’ll expound on my own viewpoint concerning this issue, but I’m not sure anyone would want to read it, lol.  I think I’ve already scared people away by talking about politics too much, so I’d better get back to posting pictures!

I’m not looking for an argument, but I’ve got to say something. Not every woman that accidentally gets pregnant is irresponsible. Birth control pills aren’t 100% reliable, neither are condoms or other methods of birth control. I realize this is the exception & not the rule, but I don’t think it’s right to refer to women who get pregnant, but weren’t raped, as being stupid.
Perhaps I misunderstood & if so, I apologize.

Okay, we discussed and decided that our opinion is life begins at the point where the cells start to divide.  At this point, a baby is actually being “grown.” As far as abortion, I am against anything that meaningfully causes you to undo a mistake you were stupid enough to make in the first place.  Rape on the other hand is a different story.  Okay, there you go, I officially have an opinion.

You really made me think.  I also, up to this point, believed that life began at conception, but as you mentioned so many eggs pass through that are fertilized, but never implanted.  Now I don’t know what I think!  You have rocked all of the fundamental principles and beliefs I held as gospel!!!
