Been a while since I responded to comment regarding my video. I thank you *all* for your thoughts on both sides of the issue. Please remember this video is nearly 6 years old and I believe the website I mentioned may no longer be online. I'll try to fix the video to include a comment on this and an alternative website to visit.

Some asked what abortions I am against and that is simple...partial birth abortions. Beyond that I believe in a woman's right to choose. Thank you for watching.

it is idiocy to even assume that every single conception should be brought to term. when pregnancy through rape occures it carries with it a negative energy. the negative energy from the experience is carried from female to fetus. why not abort and allow the fetus to come back into a situation that is more positive? if you wish to go through with the pregnancy then great; your choice. but respect the others choice. you don't have a choice but to.

forced motherhood is the correct term not pregnancy. Abortion doesn't hram anyone. Especially not fetuses. because they aren't huamn beings but only of HUman DNA. Harm, murder, killing appplies to only beings not masses of tissue.

@Jrink300 you're lumping raped women together - you're only taking into account the emotional distress. like errr do you not realise there are other things such as some women actually not being able to take care of a baby without ruining their lives, and for what? do you think that this incapable mother would be able to bring up her child well? er no because shes not capable.

@Jrink300 Fetuses cannot think. the cerebral cortex does not even begin to grow until week 26 and does not begin to hook up to the central nervous system until week 29. The fetal brain is kept sedated by chemicals produced in the uterus during the last months of pregnancy.

Are you sure you gave us the correct url? I typed it in and was told it doesn't exist. The page "Pandora's Project" was suggested instead. Thank you so much for your very thoughtfull and caring video.

finally someone who thinks of the victim

@Jrink300 you call what he says is idiocy? you are a woman hating ignorant twerp. grow the fuck up and i pray you never have kids.

[Jrink300]

Yes. THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO CARRY THE CHILD TO TERM. IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT. They are not being forced to "do" something, they are being forced "not" to do something. just like we are forced NOT to murder people. and you are thinking of the person who is raped right? Well, that rape victim is not being forced to die, while the child is. what is worse, an emotionally distraught woman who can hopefully overcome it through therapy, or a child that is permanently dead? i cant tolerate this idiocy

[Jrink300]

@blizzard7006 What makes you think that you are a being and not just a mass of tissue? Your ability to think? Well can fetuses think? hmmm yes!

everyone check out the national network of abortion funds. they help raise money for low income women to obtain abortion care. you can specify on your donation that the money go towards rape victims before anyone else

@blizzard7006 THANK YOU FOR THAT. i get so sick of people using "nazi!" as some kind of ultimate insult, when in reality, it's EXTREMELY offensive to jewish people and their families (like mine) who perished in the holocaust. comparing ordinary people to hitler is beyond rude.. it's plain fucked up. they need to turn off fox news and get a clue.
