That's kind of funny because science is 100% positive that when you beat a toddler they feel the pain...however, science has not proved that the growing fetus/embryo feels anything...maybe that is where the difference is...hmmm. I'm also sure that spouses and slaves feel pain... -

That is why I think it is sad. I did not miss the point. It is disgustingly sad that people have to control everyone's rights just because of their beliefs! -

I say pro-life...because that is what most of them wish to be called. I say pro-coice for those who believe it should be legal. I do not say anti-choice or pro-abortion. You don't see pro-choicers standing in front of churchs protesting or calling pro-lifers murders for the deaths they will cause, by making abortions illegal, of women who will die in labor or who will lose their lives...those who, forced to have an unwanted baby, will die emotionally, financially, mentally, or even physically. Either side can swing things to their views...I just think child killing is a term that is obviously to make their side sound better...but whatever. It is what it is -

I just think they use words that they think will sound the worse against abortion...when they could just have easily said they are against abortions... -

Dr. Chock did mine! She is great! It is not a quick fix. I had mine done in September and I have lost around 60 pounds! It's still work, but it's easier for me with the band then it was when I was trying to do it without. I was 253.6 5'3''...I'm 194 now :rolleyes2: Good luck!!!

This is about abortion. I am tired of discussing religion with you. I am not a Christian and I never will be. I like what I am and have no intention of "converting". You're happy being Christian and that is great, but I am happy where I am. Did anyone else hear about the Octo mom's 911 call...lol. Wow! -

I have been to more than on "Christian" Church and they all are different, yes they are talking about the same "God", but they preach about different things. I have been to ones where they say they are the only true Christian church...what kind of crap is that?! That is why I think all this "religion" crap is a bunch of hog wash! It's ridiculous. That is why I am not "Christian"...You should watch the movie "Religulous"...it's really well done! -

Their "God" may not be the "God" that you talk to...everyones faith and beliefs are different even in the same religion... -

Do you know how many people lie when they are survied? Let me tell you there is more than 9%...some people say they are Christians because their parents are Christians, but they don't practice it or believe in it...most of them have never even read the Bible... -

I know this because I have read accounts of that being so. I am indian. I am also related to Francis Scott Key, the man who wrote our National Anthem. People were afraid of what would happen to them if they did not conform to the religion being thrust upon them. The Christians that fled her for freedom took that freedom from the people living here before them. They were raped of their land, most of their rights and their beliefs...maybe you're just reading accounts written by the Christians and not by the natives...? -

Many natives turned Christianity out of fear or because they didn't understand...Many of them did not do so because they truely believed! You can't say the "God" that was in everyone was "Jesus" because you do not speak for everyone. Oh and back then when people were put to death for being witches or because they didn't want to believe in that nonsense...that is the faith that this Nation was built on? Hmmm...sounds to me like faith has led to some pretty aweful things in this Nation... -

The word/name God is used in other religions besides Christianity...Our Pledge of Allegiance was written by a Christian...of course people who believe in God are going to include him into their speeches and songs...Just like people who don't believe will not include "God"... -

What about the Natives that lived here before it was "discovered"? They definately were not Christian! Also, did you notice that Spanish is spoken every where and a lot of places will only hire if you are bilingual. We have adapted our ways of life and our beliefs for the beliefs of others living here! Things change...back in those days it was also okay to take a 13 year old as a wife, but we don't follow that anymore...our laws and the way things are done have to change as time goes by. It has to adapt, we have to adapt! -

Has she tried using some sensitivity cream or gel on her clit? That may help her be more sensitive and reach a climax sooner...maybe it will also help her regain that sensitivity! :thumbup: -

I didn't take it wrong :w00t:. Everyone is different. I know that it would be a hard choice to make for some. Sometimes I forget I have a handicapped child :thumbup: lol. I just think you should have the right to abort for reasons like that if you think it would be hard on the child and hard on you to raise a child with problems...it is not an easy task, but it can be so rewarding. Some of the doctors even told me that if while I was pregnant they would have seen that the fetus was missing muscles and had all the problems that they would have probably recommended abortion...I'm glad I have my son. You would never really know just by looking at him that he was handicapped...he is an amazing little guy...who by the way turns 2 tomorrow...lol. They gave him an hour to live and look how far he has come :thumbup: I'm so excited!!! lol. -

As I have said before, my son is disabled/special needs. I wouldn't change him for anything in the world! I love my son and I don't think it would have been selfish if I would have know about his problems. I would not have aborted him...I love him very much. :w00t: Everyone is different though and those who do not share my choice should have the right to go in the direction that is right for them. :thumbup:
