Anyone who's been arguing in that thread would feel like a dying plant.

Of course, hugs could heal the two of you.


I am, personally.

However, I am also a pragmatist, so I have a hard time reconciling my pro-life views with society's views about pregnancy and our societal condition. Thus you could say I am pro-choice due to pragmatic considerations even though personally I believe in pro-life stances.

I'm very self-centered on matters pertaining to my body. Personally, I couldn't ever find it within myself to abort a child, even knock on wood a case of rape, unless said child wasn't going to survive the birthing, or be incredibly likely to die soon after. However, that's my opinion, and I'd still consider myself pro-choice. It's none of my business how another woman may feel on the matter, after all.

It's more than that, she was pleasant and had intersting things to say, she just didn't whine about nonsesne, and she played a cute girl. It would be fair to ask if she played the part of a boy would she have been so popular.

It's interesting the kinds of friendships you can forge in this site, even with people you haven't personally met. I just can't help, however, feeling that either I changed or some people did drastically from when I first met them. And I'm not referring to the teens who are now adults.

I came to enjoy responding to the latent sniping towards the end with saccharin, but yes, it was a definite case of pave way for the Lianmobile.

I can understand that, and in no way do my views encompass the whole "let's force women to be pregnant" kind of deal.

I do believe, however, that better prenatal care, better post-natal care, and a shift in the current view of pregnancy from it being a punishment to it being something that, while not necessarily something to be in ecstasy about, doesn't end up with women on the streets because family and lovers turn their back on them, furthered by the stigma of single mothers disappearing would help a whole lot in reducing abortions that would otherwise be sought due to socioeconomic factors.
