No it didn't because Jane Roe has nothing to do with the picture.
Like I said, my post, my call.

Roe vs Wade had everything to do with the conversation you initiated. You've made better calls; but, I'm not complaining because it gave me a chance to use my new slogan "I'm not buying it." :p:

I don't direct the conversation that stems from an IOtD, as a matter of fact it usually goes far afield.
You;re welcome to start a thread on abortion, I'm sure you'll get a spirited response to such a hot button issue.


Oh, and how does your having a slogan change you posting your :2cents: on any subject? You've never been shy about posting your opinions, does this mean you'll just post your slogan and let it go at that?

There I fixed that for you.

BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT. BS

What was another choice for a pregnant girl, disowned by family, in 1875 TN?

life

Why is it that people who have never been threatened with life on the streets, broke, alone and scared for their life, cant seem to put themselves in the shoes of someone who has?

Dunno - Good question. You should ask one directly.

So you've been on the street with no money, no job, no home, no family, and no hope?

I have just me and Keryx no fun at all.

It doesn't matter. She was 21, not 12. She was her own responsible party. She gambled that she wouldn't get pregnant out of wedlock knowing the consequences if she did. She lost. She had the option of doing whatever it takes to have the baby; or, die trying. Instead, she gambled on having an abortion knowing the risk if she did, She lost. There's an old saying Don't gamble with what you can't afford to lose.


The measure of a person's character comes when they make choices and when they face adversity. It's easy to be a good person when someone else is providing for you and everything is hunky-dory. The woman lacked willpower and lacked the courage to fight the good fight to recover from mistakes. Unless she was developmentally impaired and/or raped, the onus was equally on her for getting pregnant (it takes two to tango); also, equally on her and the procedure provider for the outcome of having an abortion. Just because life isn't fair doesn't mean that she didn't get what she bargained for each time she chose to gamble.

Bottom line: my body, my choice. Keep your moral indignation about my behavior away from my ability to self-determine my own life.
