I'm not sure what I believe in regards to the abortion thing anymore. I mean, growing up in a middle-class, completely strict catholic school my entire life has undoubtedly put in my mind that abortion is evil, evil, and evilll. as bad as homosexuality. or something. i remember being in the the 4th grade and our teacher giving us some wild and strange explanation about how abortion is wrong...something about killing the child with a hammer or something. I remember thinking it absolutely crazy at the time. I also remember being in the 10th grade and telling my friends that I was pro-choice, and Mr. Chiogna or whatever came up to me and gave me about 10 pamphlets about how abortion is evil, evil, evil.
But having some --- scares really gets to you.. i mean, to have a child is to change your entire life, all your priorities, and dreams and everything.. But I'm not talking about women who just go around having unprotected sex wherever and having a million abortions. But If a woman is not ready to raise a child, then I don't think that woman should be forced to. I don't know. thinking thinking, thinking.
I have many friends now who have said it quite bluntly that they would terminate their child if they found out that they would be handicapped. I disagree with that completely. I think all children are blessings in the world.

But then again that makes me want to be pro-life. completely. Even if one has an accidental pregnancy, the child has a right to live does it not still?

I don't believe in that whole "its not a human yet" BS though. ALL HUMANS go through these stages, the embryonic stage, the fetal stage, whatever..just as all humans ( or most, anyway) go through adolescence, puberty, etc.
Its a stage in life, one stage is not less human than another.

i don't know. its not a black and white issue. I used to think it was.

Sincerely, Confused
