Well I don't know oop, I have a friend who had an abortion and regrets it because another friend who got pregnant at the same time ands kept the child is now her boss, the graduated together but the pregnant friend graduated pregnant summa cum laude. I think her regret is based on doubting her own ability to still have been successful( that was her main point in wanting an abortion, she'd talked to me about this plenty of times before the actual appointment) as opposed to actually wanting to have given birth. In other words, I think her regret is misplaced on the abortion itself as opposed to the reason WHY she got an abortion.

I just wonder the same about people who regret adoption. Is it because they think " hey I could have been a great parent" or that they simply wanted no one else to parent their child, even though they know they weren't ready to do it either so an abortion would have bene best in their case.

I believe the woman who is strongest is the one who makes her decision without allowing others to influence her decision. The woman who decides she wants to keep the baby despite her family threatening her to abort it, and the woman who has an abortion despite her abusive husband telling her to keep it.
The stronger woman in my opinion is the one who made her choice as to what she felt was right and stuck to it, no matter how much other people tried to get her to choose differently.

Greywolf that is precisely how I feel about it! You've summed up perfectly why I have the deepest respect for women who give birth to fatherless children and do NOT seek out child support or bear a child without any support. I also deeply respect and am moved by women who abort a pregnancy they did NOT want despite everyone else telling them they should keep it. The woman who OWNS and takes responsibility for her decision without regret is the strongest woman indeed.

I think I have explained that a woman who has frivolously aborted would not be suitable for marriage, in my case. I am not interested in a woman who has carelessly tossed human life in the rubbish container. Maybe other people don't care all that much, but I want my wife to be a loving woman, who would never consider such a horrid act. I hope that further explains my position on frivolous abortions and marriage material! I'd like to give this point a rest...


I think women who don't have abortions, that live on welfare their entire lives and expect other people to do everything for them are complete losers. Most young mothers never get an education, except for the odd few who deserve my respect but the they are even worse then people who get abortions because they know they can't support their kids.

I think guys who aren't open-minded are complete Douchebags, then again Im gay so why the hell do I care?

I can't stand people who make foolish decisions and then have to rely on government service to live, its like running into debt and then expecting everyone else to pay your bills, is that smart?
