Wow, heated topic.
Prolife4life, What an amazing story. Thank you for sharing it.
I just wanted to say that I have to respectfully disagree with the statement, "If you don't have respect for unborn life, you don't have respect for any life."
(And I do mean RESPECTFULLY disagree. Lilifelover, you have some great posts and have given some good encouragement on these boards.)
The reason I have to diagree is this: Some people honestly do not believe that the fetus is a human being. And I don't think all of these people are in denial..... They just don't honestly believe that a fetus is a baby/human. So to these people, while abortion might be distasteful, it is NOT murder.
Personally, I am pro-life. I don't know whether a fetus is a human being, but I know that, as long as the line between "humanness" and "just a lump of cells" (or potential "humanness") is so difficult to discern, I will be pro-life. Because I'd hate to abort a fetus, only to find out, years from now, with a scientific breakthrough or something, that a fetus is indeed a human being.
However, my hubby is strongly pro-choice. And I don't think he has a disrespect for all life. He just sincerely believes the fetus is not human. So to him, the rights of women take priority.
There's my 2 cents.......
Sorry to jump in so late, just couldn't keep my mouth shut any longer!!!
