Welcome to Gaia! ::

well, in her defense (slightly) becoming pregnant can be quite scary, but i don't think that justifies this kind of atitude at all.

yeah, there's this whole movement among some pro-lifers, and society as a whole to crucify people who become pregnant irresponsibly. That definatly needs to change. Enough with the scarelt letter already.

As long as you don't name the sources of the quotes the thread is fine.

And don't get carried away.

You know that's actually a DSM4 noted psychological condition? I believe it's called sexual addiction, but somehow that just seems like way too simple a name to be in a medical manual. Not that the pro choice movement is to blame, but for someone to find their identity in sex is definatly a bad thing, and abortion beling legal, while not really the root of the problem, certianly acts as an enabler for someone to remain caught in the condition. I would never use it as a pro-life argument, but it's something i figured i'd mention.

Having actually read over all of the quotes instead of skimming them, it occurred to me that some of them were said sarcastically, it seems. I can't tell because they aren't in context, but should those really count as interesting quotes?

Lord knows how many times I've said I hate women and chain them up in my basement, beating them with bibles...

Nice hypothosizing, but really, really, really.....

Either why don't you leave the girl out of this? Or maybe you should go ask her, rather than, if you don't mind me saying, trying to twist her experience into something totally different.

(I'm not attacking you, for one thing. I just feel that, pro-life or pro-choice, the lady should kindly be kept out of that.)

As a friend of her, I am highly doubtful that she is experiencing "self-hate, justifying, deeply scarred," or whatever you say. Or course I cannot speak for her. However, I believe I might know her better than a complete stranger...... Who are you to know her true emotions?

Oh yes, I was the one who made that banner. wink It seems that you don't get it, the point was to show support for her and saying that we support whatever choice she would make, not advertising our pro-choiceness. I made a separate banner for two pro-life friends of mine, and for a while, they carried it around the site.

that should explain some of this, but i have to say i don't have the authority to edit the posts of others, so i was hoping that people would just have missed her post. I thought the better of including her name later obviously.

While it's true i don't know her, sadly this was her inital response to my asking her about her abortion (obviously i wasn't snooping since she and her friends made it such a public issue, with the banners and such.) Perhaps it's wrong of me to make such speculation, but really her highly defensive atitude to my questioning speaks volumes. I don't think i was stretching it too far.

As for that banner; I've seen it, several times, and reguardless of your intent when making it, it comes across as a slap in the face to pro-lifers. Playing both sides of the fence does not justify that. For those who have not seen it and wish to disagree, this is the one i'm talking about

Since it's become such an issue dispite my attempts to hide her name, i suppose keeping it secret is rather pointless. Maybe this isn't the banner you designed?

Sorry if any of this bothers you, and perhaps i'm overstepping my bounds seeing as how i'm fairly new, but this is a pro-life guild, and natrually what we post in here is going to have an undefended pro life slant (we'll leave the defending for the ED topic) Again, sorry for any anger or discomfort i've caused by creating this topic, but it is how i, and apparently a lot of us feel, and i see no reason to shelter that in our own guild.
