i didn't call myself that. nils did. he said something about that he can't change it because when people make over 5000 posts (which he says only bernhard and i have done) it makes them a pianoforum God. i told him that i didn't want to be God because it is against my beliefs to believe soley in myself. i asked him if he must use a descriptive word, to please call me piano forum 'queen.' we'll see what happens.
ps i don't know how to make a bomb. if i were to attempt anything at an abortion clinic - it would be to bring breastfeeding mothers and line them up along the walkway - so the new mom-to-be might change her mind. it would be quiet revolt - and if she didn't change her mind and was wheeled out the back door (which most clinics have a back door - that doesn't open for emergencies in case you need to come back because of hemmorage - you have to go to the emergency room for that one - and i did see a girl at the emergency room one time who had that exact experience) then she would have at least had someone give her another side of the story.
maul, i respect your right to present your opinion. why are you against people talking when you do not hear what you want to hear? what i think you and many people are trying to say is that the burden of responsibility is too great for young people. that is your opinion - and perhaps in this day and age without education in the matter (besides condoms handed out right and left) is that young people feel they have no responsibility to society, themselves, or their future children or their own bodies. that may be a 'right' for themselves - but what about later on? will they regret the decision and wish they could have changed it? only they could say.
another part of this issue that i have grave concerns with is that if abortion becomes a legal 'right' - who is to stop more laws from coming onto the books as to who may perform them and also who may insist that a certain portion of the population have them. ie prison inmates, mentally instituted people...etc. imo, this would open a can of worms and allow for much sexual abuse under the guise of necessary evil. as it is now, you can prove abuse by dna testing under which a woman would be granted her rights under the law. abortion would destroy evidence. also, who is to say that the child born to a couple out of wedlock - might not result in those two people someday forming a bond again in true love? perhaps not in most cases - but in some it is a possibility. i mean, if they were attracted to each other enough to have sex - then they might at least consider it as they became older and wiser. there is a limited window of time when a woman is fertile and can have a family. children make women happier, imo, because they have companionship and a heritage that grows and becomes helpful to her and visa-versa.
i know i should stop now - but i have to also say a few things from personal experience. having children was the next best thing in my life to 'love.' it is a deeper love, almost - because you give everything and expect nothing. also, the experience is awe inspiring. the feeling of being pregnant is a wonderful thing if you can relax and enjoy it. the thing is, for many younger women it is a very trying experience if they are the sole provider for their unborn child. i think that God always makes a way - though - and from my perspective if you choose life - you are choosing blessings for yourself even if the beginning is difficult. sometimes through difficulty we learn how much we are capable of and how much more love we have for a child because of all that we went through for them. i don't think having a child is easy. but, it does make one more aware of the small joys of life. seeing life through a slower lens. to enjoy watching a baby and feeling their grasp and being become stronger day by day. it slows you down and makes you appreciate the graciousness of God to extend to us the gift of children. to watch their personalities develop. and become aware of a need to plan their environment to be safe and welcoming.
