- I just galnced through this group for the first time, and I sense a lot of
- hostility...You can all beat me down however you want, but it is nothing
- compared to the silent holocaust going on every day in this country.
-
- For all those out there who have had an abortion or are considering it: YOU
- MADE THAT CHOICE BEFORE YOU GOT PREGNANT! Ok, excluding that small percentage
- of rape victims who get pregnant. But for the majority, don't tell me about
- your freedoms of choice. You made that choice the moment you had sexual
- intercourse. What CHOICES did that baby have? And how can you tell me when
- life begins? Can you prove to me that life doen't begin until birth? Can you
- define life?
-
- What about the man. He's not always the one to push for the abortion. Doesn't
- he have his choices also? Or do you also want the right to control his sperm?
-
- These are just few of my many thoughts...And I must note that I wouldn't be
- able to voice these thoughts if my birthmother had opted to have an abortion
- instead of giving me up for adoption in Bogota, Columbia!
-
- Also, I am a woman, if that makes any difference to you.
