- For a long time I was pro-choice because I thought pro-life people were
- crazy religious nuts. I thought they were trying to impose their religious
- beliefs on the rest of the nation. I was scared they might try to get other
- things outlawed and this nation would become a religious nation. I didn't
- want religious nuts taking over this great nation of ours. I saw it as a
- culture war and I didn't want their culture pushed on me because I thought it
- was hateful culture. They hated gays and atheists and women and I wanted no
- part of a hate-filled culture like theirs.
-
- Then I began to think about my abortion beliefs. I didn't have any! I just
- despised the culture of the pro-life people. They were the enemy to me. I
- didn't even try to think that abortion might be killing babies because I
- despised the pro-life culture so much. I began reading books and articles
- on abortion and I became convinced that abortion is killing babies. Democrats
- have always been the ones who have helped the sick, the weak, the helpless.
- It saddens me to see that many of my friends don't share that belief when
- it comes to abortion.
-
- I see many pro-choice people saying hateful stuff at pro-life people here
- and I think maybe they should think about why they're saying that stuff.
- I think many of them were like me and they just despise pro-life culture and
- they haven't really thought about their abortion beliefs. It's easy to say
- lots of nasty stuff at pro-life people because much of the public despises
- them and makes fun of them. But abortion is not funny.
-
- I also see bad stuff from some pro-life people and I wish they would be more
- loving and compassionate towards pregnant women. Don't just tell women not to
- have abortions, help them and love them! We can't prevent every abortion but
- we must show our love and respect towards women and babies no matter what.
- Many of you will never know what it's like to face an unwanted pregnancy. It's
- wrong to judge women for getting abortions. They need our love not our hate.
