You Are a Liberal for Life

You've got a bleeding heart - and you're proud of it. For you, liberal means being compassionate, pro-government, and anti-business. You believe in equality for every person, and you consider yourself universally empathetic. Helping others is not just political for you ... it's very personal too.

What political persuasion are you?

Damn straight!


I love cud. Especially nummy hamburger with cheese and raw onions cud.

AW: *walking over* I need one of these! *pointing to a cordless phone ad*
Me: Okay. And which color of phone did you want, ma'am? They are available in red, green, blue, or purple.
AW: *impatiently* Just give me one!
Me: *shrugging* Alright. *rings up a green one, and rings the sale* It'll be out in just a minute, ma'am.
AW: *waiting*
Me: *grabs the phone when it comes through the rollers, scans it, and gives it to AW* Here you go.
AW: *rolling her eyes* That's not the right one! I want a purple one!
Me: *irritated* Sorry about that, ma'am. Let me get you the right one. *returns the phone, and sells her the purple one*
AW: *gets the new phone* You know, you should ask people what they want! *storms out*
Me: *facepalms*

I'm glad I have yet to experience such suckiness.


Do schoolgirls dream of electric chopsticks?

Finally, I've decided to call myself pro-life. Cases of severe birth defects of the child or rape are no exception. There is adoption, and as for the financial burden of carrying a child to term - I'm a socialist, remember? Pre-natal health needs to be guaranteed by the government.
And if the mother is at risk, I prefer a futile 3-month c-section to an abortion.

Silly Prince Eboh!

Hmmm, what a surprise.

Indeed. :-P

So long as you don't try to force the pro-life thing on everyone else, I respect your decision. I'd say more, but I don't want to start a debate or anything.

Ditto on the pro-choice and for one reason. Its their body, not mine. Their choice, not mine. who am I to tell others what to do?

It is their body, and not mine; their finances, not mine; their emotions, not mine.
But there's a third person who can't say anything. I'm for assisted suicide, because the party to die has a choice.

If you (or any one of my friends) ever got pregnant and decided to have an abortion, I would hug you and be there for you. But if I ever had the opportunity to vote on this issue, I'd vote to make it illegal.

I still maintain that abortion would have been the better choice for me. My 14 year old mother never should have had me, I never should have been subjected to the health problems, emotional problems, and other such things that can be traced back to having been born to a girl who was not yet completely finished growing herself, not to mention the very hard life I was subjected to because of this. I know it could be worse, and that my life could have been even harder, 100% acknowledge this, and I am not ungrateful for the life I have been given, but I am not stupid enough to sit back and look at everything, to examine everything, and not acknowledge that there was a better choice, given to my young pregnant mother, and turned down. Hey, it was her right to choose this life for me...right?

I also have quite a few friends who I wish had had abortions instead of their children at 15, 16, 17, kids that are being neglected, abused, and the system is not flawless and has yet to take them away. Kids that were literally almost set on fire because their mother can't handle the 5 kids she had in 6 years from the age of 15. They are not alone, and they will never be the same because of that.

Adoption is an option, but the truth is, if every girl WOULD give up their child, there wouldn't be enough people to adopt the newborns and the thousands of kids that needs homes already and aren't getting them. Many girls won't give up their babies, just like many girls won't have the abortion. Hey, sure, being raised by a teenage mother wasn't so bad, could have been worse, and I love and adore my Mother, but I think if she had wanted to get an abortion at the time, no one would have held it against her, and maybe she would have graduated from high school, gone to college, and had me later in life, and I would have had a father of some kind. But every situation is different...and I can't say my life will be the same as the next baby born to another teen, but you can't say it won't, or be even worse.

Also, having been a victim of rape, I can guarantee you 100% I would have had an abortion had that resulted in a pregnancy from the unprotected sex that was forced upon me, and this is from someone who has been trying to get pregnant for the entire 7 years of her marriage.

I think it's absolutely your choice to be pro-life, hey, your call, as long as you don't try to enforce it upon others, that's all that matters. And from my point of view and life experiences, I totally see the point of abortion in some cases. I'm not trying to change your opinion, and I understand your point of view, but I just thought I'd share mine.

[tsukikage85.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for sharing your opinions, especially as a daughter of a teenage mother.

My only comment on the pro-life/pro-choice issues is that I am personally pro-choice in regards to the government. It is everyone's choice if they feel morally justified in doing so. But it is not a right to steal from others to pay for it. I don't believe in abortion, I think it's wrong, but it's all right in my mind for someone else to get one. Just don't make me pay for it. I don't believe it's the government's job to regulate it. Leave it up to the people who want them, not the government.
