Can't respond to everything, but I will say in response to one comment that sex is indeed natural and it is a beautiful thing. I'm glad you even called it something like, "the beautiful act of making love." I just am incapable of distinguishing between the beautiful act of making love and the beautiful act of making babies. They are inseparable and were never intended to be otherwise. I understand that our society and economy are easier on smaller families. But sex's primary function has always been to make babies, and therefore every time someone has intercourse they must be cognizant of that fact. If they are not responsible enough to care for a baby, they shouldn't have sex. If they had sex without being prepared for that potential end result (as millions are), then they should at least be responsible enough to give the baby up for adoption. From the legislative end, I feel much more could be done to improve the adoption system, but I never, ever would put killing a human, even an undeveloped, unthinking, unfeeling human, above a person's level of responsibility.

That said, twister111, you made it quite clear this hits home to you. Without asking you to divulge details you clearly would rather avoid, let me just say that I don't judge most who have had an abortion, considering most people don't see things the way I do. If a mother accidently forgot her baby was in the back seat of the car and allowed it to die, I'd be unhappy with her choices, but I also would not judge what was not a conscious choice (this is different from when people say, "I'll be back in a couple of hours, Junior"). I don't hold a pro-choicer to be a murderer (unless I believe they should know better perhaps, such as a member of my church who would believe abortions are okay).
