OHHHHH I love saying, Oh really? And then telling people I'm both a firstmom and an adopted adult and pro choice. 
Oh, I'm an evil B too who likes to make morons uncomfy.

I'm chucklin' to myself over here, only because I was thinking the same about "the morons" to use your phrase
. (I'm not looking to be part of a thread like the OP stated she was reading or the debate you said you're not getting into either...totally on board with that one!!) But I'm the "evil" prolife gal who will be respectful, unemotional, and factual in my discussion with anyone. But like you I don't fret over persons getting uncomfy either, if all are willing to discuss. (I am not about bombarding persons uninterested in discussion, that's not productive for anyone). I'd rather feelings get squirmy and uncomfy than the precious life of a human child be imploded into itself, whether adoption is in the mix or not. I will make a darn good parent because of my overwhelming empathy for human life. I'd like to add that there are adoption services that work with all sides who view the topic similarly. There is a population of prolife bmoms & APs. They can find each other if they wish to.
That sums it up for me
PS...some of those "gift, unselfish, chose life" phrases listed in the OP sound very familiar though. I've read more of those sentences and sentiments on parent profiles and other adoptive "dear birthmother" sites than I can count. It's a common running theme out there. Is it more "ick" when coupled with the abortion topic or is it just as "ick" all toghether.
I'm reading a site and agency recommended book right now that is filled with letters stressing all of these phrases and sentiments. Are we talking from both sides in this adoption world and maybe creating what in the end offends us? Thinking out loud on that one.
