The fact that you say this so flippantly indicates to me that 1) you have never known someone who was adopted 2) you have never known the anguish of someone who went through nine months of pregnancy only to give up her baby 3) you are a man.

You think an abortion is the worst moral crime? Worse than murder, torture, sex trafficking and any number of other things? Bringing an unwanted child into the world is so much worse.

yeah, I think Turqo's imagination and knowledge of history are seriously lacking.

I'm confused at to what part of my statement you're saying is not true. Literally what I replied to said it's a it's the "worst moral crime" someone can commit. Sure, you backpedalled away from your original statement. But yes, the thinking you so clearly articulated in the post that I actually replied to is indeed…

Well then I certainly hope you are pressuring your local anti-abortion organizations to educate others about birth control, and doing so yourself. And that you never, ever find yourself in a situation where you are facing an unplanned pregnancy.

I was just coming here to say that. I know my county is inundated with children in the foster care system.

Yeah, see, you're one of the worst ones. You kinda pretend to be on the side of women who choose to have an abortion and yet judge them for committing "the worst moral crime a person can commit." Why don't you just commit to the idea that you're against abortions if you really feel that way. Otherwise, you're just…

I loved that "wonderful children" part too - why are we assuming all children will be wonderful, again? I know some fucking terrible people who were probably fucking terrible children too. I'm not wishing they were aborted or anything, but let's not pretend everyone on earth is a fucking ray of sunshine at whose…

I guess my question is, what were you hoping to gain by starting this thread? Literally nothing you have said so far has added anything constructive to this conversation; if I had to summarize everything you've said, it would be something like "abortion is morally wrong because I feel it's morally wrong." At least…

I don't concern myself with the morality concerns other may have about me or my abortion. If somebody wants to think I'm horrible or going to hell, that's OK with me. Just as long as they don't attempt to legislate those feels into law.

The initial comment didn't upset me in the least (except to ask, why? nobody cares what you think). It was the follow up comments specifically telling people she thought they were irresponsible and immoral that I found repugnant.

We've been trying for years to have a very-much-wanted baby with only pregnancy losses to show for it. However, if I become pregnant this late in life, and testing proves conclusively that my baby will have a condition that makes it impossible for him or her to live independently as an adult, I will choose to…

Yes, yes, yes, to all of your points, and also —

That's great that your pro-choice, but know that your concept of "pro-choice" involves outspokenly shaming people who don't get abortions for reasons that you personally find "moral". That your concept of morality means that the "moral" choice is for a woman to carry an unwanted child for 9 months - regardless of how…

"Sorry you were offended." Classic! And whether or not you were intending to be condescending, it certainly came off that way. Good luck as you go through life - I hope none of the mistakes or hard decisions you have to make are ever judged in the way you've judged others here today.

I don't get what you're trying to say. You don't like what happens when women are forced to give birth, you understand the struggles and pain and reasons as to why accidental pregnancies happen, yet they are irresponsible and lacking in judgment when they choose abortion?

There are people who'd be willing to adopt your baby.

Don't bother disguising your terrible smug attitude by beginning with "I'm sorry..." You're not sorry. You've got a fat head, you're completely ignorant of this woman's life and experiences, values and morals, and yet you are so SURE that she is 'lacking in responsibility' and that she would have had 'wonderful loving…

Fortunately, we can only be the keepers of our own consciences. And I sincerely hope that you never have to have yours tested on this matter. There are a lot of tragic things I wish I could stop other people from doing but...alas, that is not the way it works.

I appreciate that you are savvy enough to recognize your pro-choiceyness, but someone else's decisions regarding their own medical care is none of your business - morality or not.
