President Trump named ‘pro-life person of the year’ for 2017

I disagree. If a woman cannot take care of a baby, then adoption is a much better option than abortion

Better for whom? Aborton is 14 times less likely to lead to death of the woman than giving birth. Even when a woman escapes death from the pregnancy/birthing, she will be left with physical damage from the pregnancy/birth that she must endure for the rest of her life.

Studies have shown that women suffer more emotional/mental distress from giving up a child for adoption than from abortion. Giving up a child for adoption causes emotional trauma for YEARS afterward, while most women heal quickly from abortion.

It does not matter that you disagree, since
99 percent of US women choose to keep their newborn and not give them up for adoption.

Yeah, and I posted this pages ago and there was zero response.

Shows how ignorant of the facts he is or, simply uncaring.(Or simply using a sound-byte to reel in ignorant supporters for their vote.)

There are more than 100,000 children awaiting adoption in the US now. Aware, homeless, waiting for families. Why would anyone encourage women to have MORE unwanted or unaffordable kids? For every one of them born, another one of these kids waiting, hoping...gets pushed further down the list and less likely to find a family.

Thing is tho...I'm pretty sure most pro-life supporters dont care about the effects on the mother...only the unborn. So to me...the fact that they also show complete disregard for the 100,000 kids aware and waiting to find families shows their intent is punitive against women rather than compassion for children.

I believe you're right, but adoption has a toll on the adopted child as well. They frequently suffer from feelings of abandonment, feeling worthless. Adoption is also risky as some adoptive parents have been abusive, and as you pointed out, not every child born will be adopted. Life is difficult at best, a child deserves the best possible chances.

I have 2 adopted sisters...their mother was a crack whore who was in jail when they were born. She eventually died of AIDS but the twins were allowed to write to her and there were some chaparhoned meetings with her when she was out, so that they could get to know her. THey also know their other 2 sisters and brother and grandparents. My folks wanted them to know their family.

My sisters have no such issues however ALL her children were born with physical and mental problems due to her mental illness and drug use.

Any parents can be abusive, IMO the risk is no higher with adoption than with bio parents. At least you know that the adoptive parents really wanted that child.
 
Odd thread title considering Trump begged Marla Maples to abort his very own love child, Tiffany.
 
I am so proud of president Trump. The economy is booming, regulations have been slashed, unemployment the lowest in a long time, ISIS is just about gone, and so much more. But I am most proud of how he has become the most pro-life president ever. Any Christian here has to be happy with that. Please discuss his pro-life record as president.

“Operation Rescue is grateful to Pres.

According to Operation Rescue, after one year Trump has already accomplished more for the pro-life agenda than any other president

Christians should be ashamed of themselves... using their airy fairy superstitions to invade the lives of innocent strangers.

It’s nonsense like this that gives religion, in general, a bad name. In case you’ve forgotten. No matter which religion a person subscribes to, is 100% voluntary. There is no religion police that arrests people for failing to follow their religion’s tenets.

There is no wall between YOU (or any other person) and your God, whether it, she, or him is real or imagined. According to every religion there is a mental link between each person and God as they understand his or her God to be. Consequently it is impossible to prevent each person from communicating with his or her God.

What totally sets me off is folks who believe that they’ve been appointed by his or her God to tell other people how to live their lives. I find that belief to be insulting and invasive.

Women of whatever faith believes abortion is against their God’s teachings - then don’t ****ing have one. That’s between individual women and the God of their understanding. Men need to stfu about women’s reproductive roles and rights. If a man is so worried about a woman’s potential behaviors if she gets pregnant - then don’t have sex with her. Perfect the art of masturbating.
 
Here's what the Bible actually says about Abortion:

Numbers 5:11-31 New International Version (NIV)

The Test for an Unfaithful Wife

16 “‘The priest shall bring her and have her stand before the Lord. 17 Then he shall take some holy water in a clay jar and put some dust from the tabernacle floor into the water. 18 After the priest has had the woman stand before the Lord, he shall loosen her hair and place in her hands the reminder-offering, the grain offering for jealousy, while he himself holds the bitter water that brings a curse. 19 Then the priest shall put the woman under oath and say to her, “If no other man has had sexual relations with you and you have not gone astray and become impure while married to your husband, may this bitter water that brings a curse not harm you. 20 But if you have gone astray while married to your husband and you have made yourself impure by having sexual relations with a man other than your husband”— 21 here the priest is to put the woman under this curse—“may the Lord cause you to become a curse among your people when he makes your womb miscarry and your abdomen swell. 22 May this water that brings a curse enter your body so that your abdomen swells or your womb miscarries.”

“‘Then the woman is to say, “Amen. So be it.”

23 “‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[c] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.

29 “‘This, then, is the law of jealousy when a woman goes astray and makes herself impure while married to her husband, 30 or when feelings of jealousy come over a man because he suspects his wife. The priest is to have her stand before the Lord and is to apply this entire law to her. 31 The husband will be innocent of any wrongdoing, but the woman will bear the consequences of her sin.’”
