  The "A-Word"

  Thank you for the heartbreaking story. (And thank you for stating it without being insulting, I think some people have forgotten how to be polite in their zeal to express their opinions.)

  
  

  Honestly, there will always be exceptions. I must say, I do agree with that woman. Obviously, there is a huge difference between having an abortion because you don't want the baby, and having an abortion because you know that the baby would live a life of pain. And the truth is, most women don't have abortions for that reason. A lot are simply because she wasn't supposed to get pregnant.

  The "A-Word"

  Good point, I've never thought of that argument before.

  The "A-Word"

  So people like me wouldn't judge them? Can I just say, thanks for putting me into a ridiculous stereotype.

  
  

  The feelings I've given to the fetus? Look, honestly, I really don't care if you consider fetuses as babies or not, one day they will be, and killing them is wrong.

  
  

  And no, I don't judge women by their choices, because it is NOT my place to judge people. Not even close.

  
  

  But all insults and sarcasm aside, seriously, can you explain to me why abortions are neccessary? What's so terrible about carrying a baby to full term and just having it? Even if you don't want it, you can put it up for adoption. You can put it up for adoption before it's even born. So, honestly, please tell me why women have abortions. Or anybody could really. Or a woman who's actually had an abortion, why did you choose that?

  
  

  I'm not going to lie, I have absolutely no experience with adoption agencies, or even with pregnancy itself. So would somebody please tell me what the deal is?

  The "A-Word"

  An organ can't live on its own outside your body, and while an unborn baby in its first trimester can't either, it is growing so that it will be able to one day. An organ doesn't feel (and sure, it's debatable whether or not fetuses can feel, but they will develop the ability, and an organ won't). It doesn't eat, or urinate. It doesn't have a heartbeat. It doesn't have little bitty organs developing inside of it. An unborn baby is nothing like an organ.

  
  

  And this girl you know, does she wish that she had killed her baby instead?

  The "A-Word"

  Wouldn't it be better for her to have had the baby, given it up for adoption, and then known that she had made an extremely responsible choice (and that her child was alive and well)? Why should someone have to suffer for the rest of their life because of a choice they made when they were practically still children themselves?

  
  

  What I mean by the "cause and effect" statement is that if a girl knows HOW to have sex, I'm sure that she knows that she could get pregnant.

  The "A-Word"

  This is why schools have health class. Besides, if a teenage girl thinks she's old enough to have sex, I'm sure that she knows that this could possibly lead to a pregnancy. Are we next going to say that the parents of serial killers should be put in jail for not being good enough parents? While I do agree that your parentage has a lot to do with how you react to life situations, it has nothing to do with your perception of right and wrong, or of cause and effect.

  The "A-Word"

  Ma'am, I do understand why abortions can be neccessary. My own grandmother had an abortion because she was only thirteen when she first got pregnant. Do I think that it was a mistake? Absolutely. My grandma suffered emotionally for the rest of her life because of it, even though she later had two healthy boys (my father and my uncle). I understand that rape victims don't want to have to go through nine months of torture, and I thank God every day that I've never had to go through something like that. However, a life is a life. I just can't see it any other way. The only way an abortion can be the right choice is if the baby's birth is going to kill the mother. I know I probably shouldn't word it like that, but that's just how I feel.

  I'm sorry, but who's Jehovah? And please, I was just trying to express my opinion, there's no reason to swear at me.

  The "A-Word"

  I think that if the woman wants to have a VBAC, she should be allowed to. These doctors talk about safety, but honestly, women had babies at home with no one to help them but their daughters, sisters, and mothers for thousands of years, and it seemed to work out just fine.

  
  

  Now, if a doctor tells me that something is going to possibly risk my baby or me, then sure, I'm probably going to listen to the doctor, however if I don't want to have something done to me, then why should I have to have it done?

  
  

  Why can't the doctors just prepare for the c-section in case of emergency and let a woman go ahead and try to do a VBAC? My mother was in labor with me for two full days before they finally decided to do an emergency c-section.

  
  

  I do have a problem with home births, because I feel that with all the medical discoveries made, we should take advantage of them, however, that still should be the woman's choice. If she wants to risk her life or her baby's more than neccessary, then go ahead and let her.

  
  

  On a slightly different note, the insurance companies are just disgusting. It's discrimination, plain and simple, and it needs to stop now.

  Secret Conversations in Zimbabwe

  It may sound a little twisted, but this man's story is inspiring. It's sort of like, if even this poor man can hope for a better future, then surely I, a spoiled daughter of America, can hope as well.
