is anyone more pro-life since becoming a parent?

Uh, this is one of the major arguments in support of abortion rights. Taking charge of your body, and not bringing a child into this world if you are unable to take care of it.

That argument used as a pro-choice argument is flawed then now isn't it? If you would have made a good choice to begin with, you wouldn't have to end a life to rectify yourself.

You're making no sense. You can't end a "life" of something if it is completely unable to exist at all without being totally physically dependent on you. It is not alive in the first place.

Like a newborn.

Nope. Not like a newborn.

Not at all like a newborn. A newborn exists as a separate entity. It needs assistance, but its very existence is not completely dependent on being physically inside a specific individual.

Can you expand on this? Because this is basically meaningless word salad.

Can you further elaborate on why you do think abortion is not taking "responsibility" once someone has determined that they don't have the means to care for a child?

However since having kids I am now VERY pro choice in a way that I never would of expected. The fact is this shit is HARD and I have education, money, a supportive community, and access to good healthcare. I can't imagine how hard it is for impoverished teenagers or single parents who already have a few kids or really any un ideal circumstance. Adoption isn't perfect either and I think the "adoption bandaid" is used in theory too frequently. Now as a parent I realized that I really wouldn't want my own teenager to have to carry a pregnancy and delivery and then give up the baby...it just seems like way too much to emotionally endure as a child herself. I keep these feelings to myself because I feel they would come off as inhumane and shouldn't parenting make you more pro life? I kind of wonder if something is wrong with me. For the record I love being a parent and am happy with my life but its just a strange change of views I have experienced and was curious if anyone else has as well?

Well, gee. Then why don't you teach her not to have sex before she's ready to be a parent?

Adoption isn't "perfect" either? So that's your easy out? Depends on which party you ask, I suppose. For the to-be-murdered fetus, it probably looks pretty damned perfect, compared to the alternative.

What, do you think only non-married, childless people have abortions? LOL.

Keep on slut-shaming, it only makes you look more crazy and naive.

And you, apparently, cannot read. OP specifically said she would not want her poor baby teen to have to endure the horrors of an unwanted pregnancy, since she is still a "child" herself. But crazy as your point of view is, I suppose you think it's fine for "children" in this situation to be having sex and abortions. I mean, why not. Planned Parenthood is making big $$$ off of the body parts.

I don't know about PP's children, but I never was able to hand off my fetuses to anyone else so I could sleep on my back, walk comfortably, or go longer than 20 minutes before needing to pee.

A newborn is not INSIDE another person's body! You can, for example, let someone else hold a newborn, and go take a walk or have some tea. This is not true of a fetus.

Amazing that this needs explained.

Begone, nutter. You may have your own opinions, no matter how flawed your logic, but you may not have your own facts.

Word salad? Sure, whatever makes you feel better.

Actually I've become even more pro choice since becoming pregnant. It wasn't until I understood when testing could take place and how that corresponded with so-called "late term abortion" that I got it. You only potentially find out about things at 20 weeks, may need to get an amnio to confirm, and by then you're pushing the 23 week deadline.

NP here, I agree with this. Only when in the pregnancy health care system do you really see the twisted genius of the pro lifer tactics. I'm another who pregnancy pushed from pro-choice to really pro-choice.

Well, apparently even PP agrees with me, because they have admitted to this and are now saying they will not take payments for fetal tissue. These satanists under exposure of course; they had to be forced to take even this step. (You may not have heard that yet, from the cave you dwell in.)

Nutter, that's cute. You've reminded me it's almost time for lunch and I think I'll have some peanut butter.

Since becoming a mother, I have gained even more compassion for women who deal with the difficult realities of poverty, single-parenthood, work-life balance, earning a living wage, and physical and mental illnesses for themselves and their children. I have begun to donate more of my time and money to helping mothers in need. In doing so, I know that I am helping to reduce the abortion rate.

Oh, well, gosh. I guess knocking off grandma once she can't take care of her nursing home bill anymore is "taking responsibility," too, but some people -- fortunately -- have a little more moral fortitude than to recommend that route.

At 10 weeks, the fetus is ~ 1.2 inches long. The eyelids are still forming. Ears are formed but not in their final location. The head makes up half the fetus and the forehead is still bulging. The neck is just beginning to grow. You cannot tell what your child will look like beyond the shape of any human.
