Know what you're doing and be smart about it. Obviously if a place is under investigation or is clearly shady and not up to par then don't go there. It all comes back to thinking it through and making wise decisions when you're face to face with a dilemma such as that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-18491384988538819582010-01-19T12:24:55.736-05:002010-01-19T12:24:55.736-05:00I think what most everyone does not realize is tha...I think what most everyone does not realize is that pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion. Don't get yourself confused. I myself am pro-choice, but under no circumstance does that make me pro-abortion. It simply means that if - after taking proper precautionary measures of course and still ending up pregnant - I cannot provide for another human being or my pregnancy was the result of rape, then yes, I believe abortion is better than trying to care for someone else when you can't even care for yourself. This does not, in any way, mean that abortion should be used as a form of contraception. That is wrong and irresponsible and if that's how a person is going to handle a situation such as that, then they probably shouldn't be having sex in the first place. However, under some circumstances I believe that abortion may be the right choice for a woman, but it is the type of thing that needs to be well thought out because playing God is dangerous and can often result in an outcome that you may regret.<br />I guess what I'm trying to say is that being pro-choice isn't pro-death. It gives women...not to mention men as well...options. Be it life or death for the fetus. I think we can all agree on one thing here, though, and that's that we don't want to have a situation where a child is growing up in and out of foster homes simply because someone was not taking responsibility for their actions and now because of that, an innocent child must suffer. I know far too many people that grew up in foster care or simply had a bad upbringing because their parents didn't understand what they were doing when they ended up getting pregnant. So don't criticize those who are pro-choice simply because having a child right then and there isn't right for them at that moment. But don't confuse that with having an abortion just for the sake of it. We're not all horrible, thoughtless human beings. And the same way the you say those who are pro-choice are manipulative, those who are pro-life can be just as, if not more, manipulative. It's true that some people may have their own agenda in that situation, but for the most part I believe everyone has the best intentions at heart and ultimately it's my choice what I do or do not do with my body. The same way you may believe in pro-life, I believe in having the right and the option of making my own, well-thought out decision because in the end it's my body, my choice. You don't have to like it, or respect it even, but at the very least understand it. I think everyone deserves that much when it comes to something as life-altering as child birth.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
