    Odd how you ever passed a test gtech... seeing as you can't even answer a YES OR NO question with a YES OR NO answer :D

    EDIT:
    This thread has inspired me to create yet another great site: A directory of all the abortion clinics that is easy to search for anyone in need of their services. Hopefully none of them will be bombed by extremist christians this year and I won't have to remove them from the list! :)

    You mean:

    What is with yo-yo's remarks about my sister?

    That's what I thought you meant, but just wanted to be clear.

    She chose not to murder her baby, and apparently yo-yo is upset. Interesting who you call out and do not.

    I called out Ferret earlier, I was going to call out Yo-Yo just now as a matter of fact. I don't like any of this juvenile bantering going on. Sure, I agree with Yo-Yo's viewpoints but I don't agree with the methods they are using to carry their point across.

    I apologize if you thought I was only singling you out. That was not my intention, but I can understand how you may have assumed it was.

    It didn't deserve a yes or no, it deserved the truth. My sister chose not to murder her baby. You did.

    I didn't murder any babies nor did I make any choices to. Maybe you're unaware, but men can't become pregnant. :D

    Call me out on what? I'm simply trying to figure out if Gtech would use the same hateful comments towards his own family that he uses towards everyone else here. Unfortunately he refuses to give us a straight answer, which is really not unusual, nor is it surprising since he's made a habit of it ;)

    I'm talking about the juvenile comments between you and GTech. He was under the impression I was only calling him out. Quite the contrary, actually - I don't like either of your remarks. Let's facilitate a friendly discussion, please??

    My oldest Son has graduated high school and is engaged, yet his mother at 16 was told to abort him by many, she was using drugs, dirt poor, no mothering skills, no way of supporting a child, she was a child, etc...
    She kept him and learned fast, got off drugs when she learned she was pregnant. (and for you anti-Christians, she gave her life to Jesus at that time also)
    We got married when he was 2-1/2 and I have been his dad since.

    I've been trying to tell that to ferret, but it just flies right over his head :D

    You've been quite vocal about your own experience and how proud you were. If you are now ashamed, then I can only hope my comments have served to sway your view.

    I never said I was "proud" of what happened, but I'm certainly not ashamed, nor do I regret the decision that my girlfriend (at the time) made. I supported her then and I certainly don't intend to change my mind now.

    And trying to play guilt trips about what age "my son" would be... aren't going to work either. I have no desire to be a parent ;)

    Well, if there was ever a good argument for why abortion should be legal/acceptable, you are a poster example.

    Umm, on personal level I don't really care, but I would hate to live in country where that was the case, you still didn't answer the question , do woman have equal rights in your country?

    Look Gtech you agree with the muslims on that point.

    My juvenile comments to gtech? I merely posed a hyphypthetical situation for him, while he trys to personally insult me.

    He is homophobe so he thinks calling me gay is big insult, Gtech did you pick up your food stamps this month yet?

    Heh, that one was good, but I'm not a liberal. I work for a living :D

    I'm happy to be there for you, to help you come out of the closet. I"m sure it's tough admitting you have a *thing* for boys!

    I don't live in crazy redneck land gtech, IF I was gay it would not be "tough" to admit it. There has always been gay people where I live, even a couple gays floating around in my family. My old landlord was gay, my neighbors etc its really not a big deal, where I live. Maybe people in your world have to hide out in the closet, hey maybe that another thing you have in common with muslims, I think a lot of them have problems with gay people too.

    You say she was told to abort, I'm assuming she wanted to keep the baby?

    She was a scared 16 yr old who had no idea and was told to get rid of the baby for all the reasons discussed about finances, ability to raise a child, drug use, etc.. She didn't want a baby at 16, and can you blame her? But she new there was something wrong with aborting a baby then, even though her family history was for abortions. She knows now and even when he was born that it was right to keep him and not kill him, just because of her own problems she was having.
