Pro-life mamas!! (NOT OPEN FOR DEBATE!)

1215 Views 20 Replies 16 Participants Last post by  cynthia mosher
HI there, I'd be interested to see how many of us there are here. I'm begining to think i'm the only woman at MDC who is feeling flamed and unwanted for caring about unborn childrens rights. It's all been said and I do not want to debate anymore. I am hoping this thread will give US, the minority an outlet where our morals and beliefs cannot be bashed. I am so sad from reading the threads in activism. Seems my stance has made people see me as rather angry and I don't want that. I am done, I WILL not post or relpy to anymore abortion debates. Women deserve better.

Angela, I'll gently tell you this as a friend, everyone has their own opinion on things ok? Just because your op. may be in the minority, it's still YOURS. Just like buttholes, everyone's got one

Angela,
I totally agree! I don't understand how mamas that are so in love with their babies and so in love with being a mama can bash and argue about that. I feel very strongly about abortion topics. I was an unwed pregnant teen (18yrs old) and people were pressuring me to have an abortion. That would have been the biggest mistake in my life. My oldest daughter (now 8 yrs) is so precious to me. She taught me so much in the early years about being a mama and being selfless. I have friends that have had abortions and now they are barren and depressed to boot.

I wish society would see it as what it is and all of the emotional baggage it gives to these poor women. It goes hand in hand with when men say sex is just a physical act. Well it's not. We are women, we are emotional and we deserve the right to be respected for it. Not encouraged to act like men and remove emotion from our decisions and daily lives.

I don't want to debate anymore and i would love to be in the company of mamas who feel the same way!!

Thanks Terri, I wanted to get away from the bickering. I though about what you said and I just don't like the way those threads make me feel. I don't want to hurt people or judge them and I don't want to be on the other side either. I'm not sure what your post above means but I know that you are trying to help and lend advice in a gentle way and I appreciate that.

BTDT, With both of my girls I was pressured by everyone to have an abortion. It changed the relationship I have with those people forever. I can't truly believe they even love my kids after asking me to do that. My dad actually guilted me for keeping my second, much planned( on fert drugs) child. Siad I had no right to bring an imperfect child into the world. Then again so did doctors and strangers... It's hurtful to be so discouraged.

MHL, I am sorry you went through that. Nobody should ever be pressured to have an abortion.

Now I will

I'm here and I agree with what's been said so far. I don't post too much at MDC, but used to post in activism a lot, now I don't for all the reasons mentioned above.

Just wanted to make my presence known.

Can't you guys give the mods a break? By referring to the Activism threads you are breaking this user rule (again):

Posting to discuss the statements or behavior of a member or members on the board, or to criticize another discussion on the boards. Such issues should be directed to the moderator or administrator privately and not made a subject of discussion in a thread.
Cynthia also posted this in the sticky here

It is not reasonable to expect to be allowed to bar discussion that is not in accordance with your own opinions or that of a specific tribe.
Oh great so we're not even allowed our own thread?
Time and time again I think about deleting my user name and never coming back.
They talk about having a formula feeding SUPPORT ONLY forum but we can't even have one thread the pro-aborts can't touch?
Geez. Get me outta here.
Is it agianst the rules to say I don't post in (fill in the blank) because (fill in the blank)?

Anyway, my brother's girlfriend was pg and was considering an abortion and I can remember asking her to reconsider. Praise the Lord she did. Today this mistake is a lovely 17 year old boy that we all love. The funny thing is he and his mom are very close. we've been able to stay close with both of them.

Pro-life here. I honestly can't understand why the unborn children of this country have no rights. Roe v Wade was the single worst decision ever made. Women have a choice to not have sex.

You can count me in this tribe too! I am pro-life but not very good at debating so I don't ever post on threads that are mostly a debate.

I am better at supporting the pro-life position by actions like volunteering at a local pregnancy center, for example.

I'm glad to see there are other pro-lfe mamas here.

Read the sticky. You can not post to talk about another thread!

You can't say "that other board," you can't say, "The A ladies," you can't mention another board or thread!

Or you will be reported.

You can have conservative support threads. I can see the need of that. It is not against rules, however, for someone with a differing POV to step in. I would hope, most wouldn't out of common courtesy. However, you can't break this rule!

[You may not] Post to discuss the statements or behavior of a member or members on the board, or to criticize another discussion on the boards.
