 | Am I glad I waited until I was done with law school (and then some) to have kids? Yes. Am I glad we were in a position financially and emotionally to have children when I had them? Yes. |
Comment History | I also want to dispel, for my part anyway, this deal about "Mother as Madonna" hokum. Being a mother seems pretty much like being a father in my family. I am not some halo-wearing spirit, and kids aren't either. Are the most important thing in my life? Well, yeah. Are they the most important thing in my husband's life? Yeah. Were there hymnals and golden light surrounding every moment of our lives together? No. |
| I'll step in with what is probably an unpopular viewpoint. First, Brian said "there is nothing wrong with being poor, or homeless or orphaned even being abused leaves you with more opportunities than being dead." Um, I don't agree with that. I think it's better not to bear a child than to have one that you know will be poor, orphaned, homeless and abused. |
 | Who should decide, if not me, of my own body? Until the child is born and sustaining on it's own, IT IS ME. We are ONE. My God is an understanding God, a forgiving God, a loving God. Why are we having *others'* religious views controling me? Tolerance? Anyone heard of that? Our Founding Fathers are rollilng in their graves. All they gave to make our Great Country, created WITH separation of church and state. Are we 'Christians' tolerant? Intolerant? Your way or the highway? Jesus is SO VERY DISAPPOINTED. And, you know, another thing WE, the WILDCATS, (or Kittens if you went to the Happy Horseshoe), should WE of all people be more tolerant? Did representing the USA abroad not teach you this? All the countries represented, all the beliefs, I don't know I sit here and shake my head, thankful for AFSOUTH and my parents. :( |
 | I WILL NOT LIKE THIS BILLL! PERIOD! |
 | Absolutely nothing... and you make some great and valid points, so I'll just repeat what I said previously. Isn't up to me or anyone else to judge someone for their choice, for whatever reason. That's between them and whatever God they'll be answering to at the Pearly Gates, or them and their own conscious if they might be Atheist.
As to a man's rights?... You have the right to remain silent... okay, I am only kidding there! ;-) |
Original Post | The article asked me to be the first of my friends to like this, I WILL NOT, and hope all my friends will support the woman's choice. OMG What is next? |
