Favorite Quote:
"If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain." -Emily Dickinson
Favorite Band:
Way too many. But some are: Bright Eyes, Dashboard Confessional, Bad Religion, Social Distortion, Pink Floyd, Taking Back Sunday, Matchbook Romance
Favorite Movie:
Too many also, but today it is The Hours.
~*~Pro-Life~*~
Why are you Pro-Life? (Were you adopted, know anyone who had an abortion, etc.):
Murder is taking away someones life from them. Murder is wrong. When you abort, you rob a child of his/her life, therefore, abortion is murder. Once again, murder is wrong.
What about physical health to the mother?:
This has always been a hard topic. It all depends, if there were very high chances the baby would be born dead and the mother would die also, then I think maybe in that case abortion would be ok. But if the chances were for the baby would be born healthy there was just risk to the mother, and I was that mother, I would want my baby to be born. Give him the greatest gift a mother ever could give a child: life.
Rape?:
I still think abortion is wrong if the girl was raped. There are other options such as adoption that the girl can turn to if she really doesn't want the child. But once that baby is developing inside of her, it is her child and I think she should try her hardest to keep him/her.
Views on the Death Penalty?:
I think it should be offered as a personal choice to those with a prison-for-life sentence.
Are you vegetarian?:
Nope. I used to be, but I got very unhealthy for a while so my doctor told me to wait a few more years.
Vegan?:
Nope, never was never will be.
Are there another ways you're pro-life?:
That question kind of confuses me. I don't kill animals/bugs anything though.

Hey y'all, I've just been invited. I don't know what to say, but I'll put why I myself am pro-life. And I guarantee, you won't expect it.
Because I think it's a catalyst for social reform.
No, really, bear with me.
At the moment, abortion seems to be an unfortunately necesssary evil. The rationale for this being that most people who really need (and bear in mind that this is different from want) abortions wouldn't be able raise a kid well anyways. Most people, who, by definition, NEED it would raise the kid into poverty, misery, and starvation.
Now, the other alternative, naturally, is adoption. But the problem is not enough attention is given to adoption centers. Yeah, we have all the pro-life senators voting to ban abortions, but what good will that do? If we don't start federally funding adoption centers more, people will, most likely, begin turning to illegal abortions. And this puts two lives in jeopardy as opposed to one. And last I checked, two was more than one. So why put that extra life in jeopardy, I ask?
Therefore, I conclude that if more thought and money is given to adoption centers, the abortion rate should logically decrease. If this is executed properly, it can show the viability of welfare-type programs.
And so, that's my mini thesis on prolifety.

Most people, who, by definition, NEED it would raise the kid into poverty, misery, and starvation. I actually don't believe that that is at all a good reason to have an abortion. Sure, it could live a bad life. But a tough life isn't always a bad life. Personally, I think that we as a race have gone soft, and that we don't have enough hardships in our lives. Even myself; I mean, I get all bothered if I can't check Gaia one day.

Still have a few hardships, minor ones, but...gaia keeps me sane (how ironic). But I like the point he's making, and I like the driving theme of social reform. If society was more accomodating towards pregnant women and orphaned children, we'd be much better off. Used to be that everyone looked out for their fellow man, but....well, society's gone downhill. Our adoption system is not only horrendous, it's corrupt. the workplace puts pressure on everyone to work and get ahead, and anyone who costs the company a few dollars a day can be replaced. Things have changed, and definitely for the worse. that's just my opinion.

Pets?: A dog.
Religion?: I don't have one.
Favorite Quote: Don't have one.
Favorite Band: That's hard. Um, probably My Chemical Romance.
Favorite Movie: Nightmare before Christmas.
~*~Pro-Life~*~
Why are you Pro-Life? (Were you adopted, know anyone who had an abortion, etc.): I am Pro-life because of what I saw on a billboard. It made me realize that abortion isn't just getting rid of a small problem, it's getting rid of a life.
What about physical health to the mother?: If the situation is where the baby was going to be born dead, but also kill the mother. I think this might be a case were abortion is okay.
Rape?: Rape is something that happens everyday. It's wrong and it makes the female feel lower than dirt. If she becomes pregnant from the rape it is very hard for her to choose what to do. I would hope that more rape victims would choose adoption over abortion.
Views on the Death Penalty?: I'm confused right now.
Are you vegetarian?: Nope.
Vegan?: Nope.

(Were you adopted, know anyone who had an abortion, etc.): first thing that comes to mind: it is killing, and it is shirking responsibility... only uner STRICT circumstances should abortion even be considered an option, and even then the mother should be thoroughly educated about all the options she has, and the impact the abortion could have on the rest or her life... What about physical health to the mother?: this happens to be one of the strict circumstances..but more like a life/death circumstance...not just "oooh, but I don't want to go through labor..." Rape?: " " Views on the Death Penalty?: shouldn't be used unless the convicted is a repeat offender and you're 100% sure he or she is guilty... there are potentially lots of innocent people in Texas on Death Row...but Ted Bundy (or whoever that serial rapist/murderer was) totally deserved it... anyway, it's scary Are you vegetarian?: no, because I beleive in the circle of life...however, life should not be wasted... no hunting just for sport, etc... Vegan?: nope Are there another ways you're pro-life?: I guess you could say its my background...I live in a mixed political atmosphere (Dad-R, Mom-D), but I spent a lot of my early years with my dad's parents, who are fairly conservative and passionately pro-life. It also doesn't hurt that my parents were teenagers when they had me... and I've could've been aborted... then the two would have never married, and my younger brother wouldn't even be here. and even though we are all screw ups...

Name:
in RL, Tim. on other forums, Thylo
Birthday:
January 1st 1988
Country:
the good ole US of A
Special person in my life:
My girlfriend, a girl who acually find me attractive!
Siblings:
(in order of oldest to youngest) tony, andy, teresa, stef, steve, (me), lauren, alex
pets:
2 cats, 1 dog
religion:
Catholic with shades of bahai possibly growing in
favorite band:
The polyphonic spree
Favorite movie:
the thing ('83), they live, the fly (86)
Why are you pro life?:
Ever since I learned what abortion was I have been against it. I think it is wrong to decide to kill a child just because your getting all emotional and worry about how you'll deal with it. I think thae argument "my body, my choice" doesn't apply, that's a seperate entity inside them, and like it or not, it's human.
what about physical health of the mother?:
Only if it will kill her. she should be able to have an abortion because she has morning sickness.
Rape?:
The child is still half hers, and killing it won't make her feel better. in the rape she was the victim, the horror was done by the rapist. with an abortion, it's done by her.
Death penalty?:
If they've done something bad enough to deserve the death penalty, death is too good for them. we need a prison in a rather harsh enviroment that we can send people like that to. what sounds like a better punishment? death for those who may not even value their own lives and view it as an escape? or living out the rest of your day in an alaskan prison, doing manual labor all day and having little in the way of entertainment, with no chance of escape?
Vegatarian?:
no, humans eat meat, it's their nature. you can be a vegatarian. I couldn't be one if I wanted, I lack the willpower.

Name (Or something other than Gaia nickname?): My name is Christine, but everyone calls me Brooky, Flae (After my old s/n) or Moose.
Birthday: 10/07/84
Country your currently residing in: USA
Is there anyone special in your life? (And I don't mean your mother.): ]coppertop2004mi[ is my wonderful real life boyfriend of just about three months.
Siblings?: And older brother named Jason.
Pets?: Three cats, a cockatiel, and two fish. (Soon to be more. ^^)
Mentor?: Her name is Carol. She's my best friend's mother. SHe's totally awesome and it always there for me when I need her. We do bible study together.
Religion?: Non-Denominational Christian. (Though I attend Methodist Services.)
Favorite Quote: "To love someone is to see him as God intended him" - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Favorite Band: Cake
Favorite Movie: Tank Girl
~*~Pro-Life~*~
Why are you Pro-Life? (Were you adopted, know anyone who had an abortion, etc.): Well, I've been told many times by my mom that I was a mistake, and that if she had the money she would have had an abortion. (And she doesn't say it just to upset me. She really means it.) Plus, my boyfriend is adopted, and every day that i'm with him, I thank God that his birth mother chose adoption over abortion.
What about physical health to the mother?: If the mother is in extreme physical danger, or the baby is, then it shoul be her choice after discussing the pro's and con's with the doctor. However, I myself, no matter what the consequences on my own body, would chose to lay down my life to bring my child into the world. (If I were in that situation.)
Rape?: I think that even in cases of rape, that the mother should be capable of carrying the child to term and atleast putting them up for adoption if they feel that they would not be able to handle keeping them. Why should the child be punished for an event that it had no choice in?
Views on the Death Penalty?: I'm against the death penatly. I think it just gives criminals an easy way out of their suffereing. They should have to spend their time in jail, or doing community service, and thinking about what they did and how it hurt the people around them.
Are you vegetarian?: Partially. I can't eat red meat because of a genetic disease that runs in the family, so the only meat I ever really eat is chicken or fish, and that's not very often.
Vegan?: No.
Are there another ways you're pro-life?: It might sound kinda dumb. But, I don't pick flowers. It always makes me feel bad. When I grow flowers, I let them grow and water them, and weed them, and when they die, that's when they die. And I don't really approve of cutting down excess lumber either. =/
~*~Lastly~*~
Say something positive about someone in this Guild: Anyone in this guild, I consider my brother or sister in christ. We are one in the same, and if anyone ever needs advice or needs to talk, i'm here for them.
Say something positive about someone in the Pro-Choice Guild: Even though their opinions differ from ours, alot of them are still really awesome people, with great talents and characteristcs. I don't hold their opinion against them. It just saddens me.

Favorite Movie: Return of the King, The Godfather, Patton
~*~Pro-Life~*~
Why are you Pro-Life? (Were you adopted, know anyone who had an abortion, etc.): I can't give you a specific personal reason other than the fact that I simply believe the murder of children who are unable to defend themselves is a heinous crime. I'm not pro-life because of my religion either...it's wrong on so many levels I don't even believe it needs to be qualified by religion
What about physical health to the mother?: I completely approve of an abortion under said circumstance. I do believe the physical health of the mother overrides the life of the child. Not pleasant, but I believe it.
Rape?: I'm shaky on this. I think it should be a choice, but I'm leaning away from that now. Not sure.
Views on the Death Penalty?: Against. I think it's better for the criminal to rot away in prison than for him to be provided with a way out.
Are you vegetarian?: No.
Vegan?: What's the difference?
Are there another ways you're pro-life?: Not that I can think of.

What about physical health to the mother?: I'm not too sure of this. If the mother wouldn't be able to survive labor.. I don't know. I can't weigh one life above another.
Rape?: I think rape victims should have the baby and put it up for adoption. Why not have a good thing come out of a bad?
