Pro Choice? Pro Life? A Great Article...
One of my favorite bloggers,
To read her article, click here. The comments that follow her article are also very interesting. I appreciate that the conversation going on over there is so...civilized.
As for my views...well, if you know me, you know I'm pro-life. I agree with
How about you? I'd love to have our own little conversation here on this topic. That is, of course, if we can do it nicely! Are you pro-choice? Your thoughts are welcome here. In fact, I'd love to understand where you're coming from. And what about the death penalty? Do you think that the two issues are inherently linked, or do you believe we can be pro-life and "pro"-death penalty?
With both of my pregnancy's we heard the heartbeat at 7 weeks. I always thought of myself as pro-choice...until I heard that little beat. It's not whether it's a baby it's WHEN it's a baby. Can't argue with the fact that it will BECOME a baby.

Good point - There's something that "shifts" in you when you hear that heartbeat for the first time, isn't there?

I know that as a woman who suffered through infertility, the though of abortion brought me to tears. I kept thinking that if the women who were facing this decision only knew that there were so many couples out there ready to love their baby, then they might make a different choice. I'm certainly not saying this to judge anyone but to offer hope and "a way where there seems to be no way".

I wish I understood this better. It seems to be fairly common knowledge that there are lots of couples who want to adopt. And yet there are still tons of abortions happening. Where is the disconnect?
