I'm not blaming women alone - no. But neither am I excusing them for their part in it.

Abusive men often wear a mask until they think they're safe, which goes to prove their abuse isn't really about "losing control".
No it's about keeping control - over the person. Something you can sniff out nine times out of ten without needing to marry the person first. Control freaks are easy to spot.

While I don't think abortion is necessarily the answer for getting out of poverty, I don't think condemning people for having sex and trying to teach them a lesson is either.
You just don't wanna get it do you? It's not about condemning or punishing this one or that one. It's about taking responsibility for your choices from the get go. You don't screw someone without first thinking it through. Am I willing to have a child with this person? Or am I so shallow and selfish that all I want is to get my rocks off??

One problem I have with conservative ideas is that it's like "Here's your chance. If you screw up one time, too bad. You don't deserve a second chance".
BULLSHIT. COnservatives are all about second chances. What we don't believe in necessarily are DO OVERS. You don't get to say OH SHIT! I DIDN'T MEAN FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. CAN I GET A DO OVER?

I think people should be given a chance to straighten their life out if they've made a mess out of it. Why? Because condemning isn't doing any good.
You keep trying to make this about condemning the person - and the only one I see even suggesting that - is YOU! lol.

You say you're not condemning, but some of that surely sounded condemning.
Being responsible is condemning? :rolleyes: I look at these situations as more of a - you screwed up - so now what are you going to do to make it right kind of learning experience. Killing a baby doesn't make things right - it's a denial of responsibility for the choices the person has made. How does that help? It doesn't. I builds a pattern of irresponsibility.

I could go on and on and on and on and on about the inaccurate information given from the anti-abortion activist groups.
as opposed to the completely unbiased and accurate stuff the pro-abortion people put out?? Facts are facts lanie. Over 90% of abortions are done for purely selfish reasons - a desire for a do over.

Problem is I'm scared to.
lol scared of what?

I just spoke in an abortion related thread. I'm just lucky I haven't been ripped apart yet.
BAH. This isn't DU. Go through and read the abortion threads here. They are almost universally civil. We're not the hate filled monsters you guys on the left want to paint us out to be. Sorry to disappoint. :p
