I did a little survey of my own here, the results of which will be included somewhere in my review.
I do want to say, I'm going to have friends who will agree and disagree with me. I'm okay with that, of course. My personal feelings and beliefs will be included here and anyone, friend or not, is welcome to comment me. (I will not, however, get into "fights" with anyone, strangers included. Comments like that will probably be deleted unless they're extra funny in which case I'll leave up so everyone can share in the enjoyment.) I welcome all intelligent, friendly, courteous comments, whether they're in agreement or not with my beliefs.
It's been over a week since I put this book down. And I'm still thinking about it. I can't say much about the writing alone because, after all, there are a bunch of different writers. Some are better than others, none are terrible IMO. Some I think I'd like as people, others I know I'd strongly dislike, others I'm fairly sure I'd hate with a very strong passion.
Most of the comments here will be very personal and some may seem them as attacks. That's fine, you'll see them however you see them. I see them as directly the opposite. They have the right to say what they want... as do I. :D
I'll start from the beginning and I doubt I'll finish tonight. But here I go:
I'm pro-life. I'm not anti-abortion or anti-choice as some people like to say. What I'm against is using aborition as a form of birth control. What I'm against is murder because one doesn't want to take responsibility. Do I have the answer for what to do if aborition was made illegal? Surely not. Do you? I wish I did. But I do know, for myself, that the needless murdering of countless babies is insane. My own little survey that I did was a poll. I personally - not through rumors mind you, personally - know of 12 abortions close to me. (Close as in either family or direct friends, no second hand stories.) 12. Twelve babies. Not one of them - not one of those abortions was done because of a rape, because of incest, because of an incompatibility with life on the part of the baby or a healthy risk for the mother. Not one of them. 10 people, 12 abortions. (One could go so far as to call them murders.) The reasons I just stated are the main reasons pro-choicers scream out as to why abortion should be legal. I'd like to see a larger scale poll done on how many actual abortions are for "birth control" versus the reasons above. But then, I already know the approximate answer don't I?
Some people very close to me have had one (or more) and I'm still close to them. I hate the act, I hate what they did, but I don't hate them. This book brought out very strong feelings for me and most, if not all, of those will be shared here.
From here on out this will go according to page, where I noted what I wanted to say, something worth looking at again, etc.
This was published in 2007 and on pg. 1 we find the information that S. Dakota was/is proposing a law to ban all abortions. Note to self: look into this and possibly think about moving.) The authors call this "draconian". What is the pointless murdering of babies called in their opinion?
I just erased my review. None of it matters. I just lost about an hour of my life but none of it matters in the least. I think the majority of these women are murderers. That's how I feel, I don't apologize for it and I won't change my mind. I wish the world weren't this way but it won't be changing anytime soon from what I can see. :(
