Now that the cat is out of the bag on this, I'm not even sure this ruling will stick. But after years and years of me not caring much about any of this shit anymore, this one has my attention a wee bit. As I say, while I abhor abortion, I'm pretty neutral. I think education is more important than making it illegal. It just simply shouldn't be used as a form of birth control like a fucking condom. It's a bigly different thing. But...I am not one of those conservatives who thinks someone should have to carry a baby of a fucking rapist. Or put their life in danger to have a child.

And I was the first boyfriend a gal had after she had gotten one. He was a piece of shit, wasn't going to help out with the money or be a dad. She had little money. She pondered having it and giving it up for adoption but chose the abortion. And she was a wreck about it, over a year later when I started dating her. Being very young and basically looking for a piece of ass, this was pretty new territory for me. To say she made an impression on me is an understatement. I had always thought of it like a morning after pill, being a young pup with no understanding of shit.

It seems to me also a terrible thing to have a baby and you've pre-decided you are giving it up for adoption because of your financial straits. But having known that young lady well and seeing what she was going thru emotionally, it also seems to me I really don't know what the answer is. Other than to say that you'd better know what you're getting into, regardless of your decision and know that abortion is not the easy way out.

This will never be something I'll vote on. But it's something I give a lot of thought to. And hopefully everyone does on both sides but ideologies seem to block that kind of thinking.
