Love Your Neighbor.............My goodness, Rumi, how many times have you preached that sermon! LOL!

“Love is all that matters” right! And yet you are the one that lives in your hate filled world of Hating Trump and anyone who supports him or who refuses to agree with you! I have no end game, I’m not the one that playing ☝️! I really appreciate you feeling sorry for me though!

Here lately several of your personalities are feeling sorry for me.......how bout money contributions! 👍. Would you believe one of the motors on our twin motor boat quit on us and the next day the drive shaft cable ( I think that’s what it’s called) on our old small center console boat broke! And then there’s the roof damage from the hurricane that the insurance paid very little toward a new roof! Thank God we have good medical insurance! See! I have sad stories too!

This is outstanding!!! Thank You for posting it.. It also presents a continued dilemma I have from Experience..I must also say I am right of choice but do NOT support abortion as a-contraceptive measure not in the least... I support right of choice because to throw such away “ the right” is to limit us in our right of privacy, choice and leaves us suffering the dictation of others” in what we, as women can or can not do.” I had to make a choice, right or wrong and I don’t want to ever give up that right...That is why...

On a personal level I had to have an abortion, partial as they called it, as I was miscarrying and bleeding a lot, in my 5th month.. I don’t share this much because even to this day I “ wonder” about that precious little girl. Along with wondering if I had continued to fight against the Dr.s strong recommendation of doing it would she have survived?? Would I?? Its a burden that never leaves you, Tex and so right you are about the depression women have even later on in life..I wish I hadn’t insisted on holding her, smelling her scent that remains within and seeing those little eyes closed instead of alive and dancing with that special sparkle only a new born can shine upon you...

Anyway, I strongly support adoption and wish more was done to educate girls of its option instead... For the younger girls I have helped in women's shelters (abusive partner) you can not imagine how often adoption is raised since “ they don't want that child or children anymore...” They keep them because “ I gotta live too and my babydaddy ain’t doen shit” or “ my mom ain’t raisen no more kids“... Enough right there in those shelters that could give that child or children a better life yet don’t see that at all....Some even loose their child for x amount of time to get themselves drug free, stable, off probation, away from the abusive partner, whatever and off that little one goes to a foster home..They do not deserve that, some most likely to be shipped back n forth.. It makes me friggen crazy with anger for that little one or them..
The legal system is just as bad it doesn’t think of the children it thinks of the parents rights only! Until the issue of child neglection is well established by then too late!!!What a vicious circle it is. The child does need a voice and if not from us, then who??? God Bless them all...🙏

Well I’m sorry I got off on a tangent didn’t mean to do that. This subject just hits home...

It sounds as though you are still struggling with your beliefs and are not certain of the ways of human behavior. You mention that you are young and an earth creation believer which would put the age of the world at somewhere about 6,000 years old. If you believe in science then the world has been around for at least 4 billion years. You are idealistic in your youth and want all pain and suffering to come to an end and people should treat other as the teachings of our fathers concluded, "Love your neighbor as yourself." Those are ideals worth working toward, but having the advantage of age and experience over you I seriously doubt that will come to pass any time soon. Humans are here on earth to praise the glory of our creator and to follow in his pathways. Our lives do not come to an end after we die. Our spirit and soul go on to other worlds. How we approach the Lord is multi faceted, but I must believe in a loving and benevolent creator who truly wants us to share in the bounty He has provided for us. All that you can do is try your utmost to live a life of dignity and respect and to help others in need and to leave a legacy of love and compassion for others to emulate.

Planned Parenthood gets a bad time, but very few people can get past the abortion thing. But, like all controversial things, PP has its share of bad press.

Margaret Sanger, the founder of PP, was instrumental in the Eugenics Crusade, but PP was not alone. The beginning years of PP were dark, to be sure, but they have changed their priorities and focus. The best place to get the truth about PP is at their website:

I once heard someone say that if abortion is the biggest mortal sin a woman can do, then perhaps those who judge her should clean up their own morality before judging someone else.

Me neither, as a Christian, I do not want ANY religion taught in schools, thank you very much-however, humanism seems to be rampant in our schools, making humans their god, so I suppose it is inevitable, but any established recognized religion such as Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhism or Zoroastrianism, Pantheism, or Wicca or Bahai should be taught in public schools other than as part of history-as in the Crusades, or the Protestant Reformation which had profound effect of modern history. Public schools should be separate from religious schools, and religious schools should not be funded by taxpayers......we have gone pretty far afield from that in this country, though, for sure.

Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry! I have personal reasons too, both in my family and my own! I had a miscarriage and was unable to have another child. I went through many years of depression because of it. I wanted to have a child with Jack very much! I know our personal stories effect this subject even more than many! It’s such a hurt that never completely heals. I think about when I will see her and hold her that first time......I can’t help but be excited, as I know you are too! ❣️💔

One of my great nieces already had a little girl with no Daddy and she got pregnant again! Her life had been one of those sad stories! She knew there was no way that she could handle another baby, but she refused to have an abortion even though some wanted her too for convenience! She interviewed 3 couples and decided which couple to give her son too! She held her son after she gave birth and then gave him to his new parents! I was so impressed at her bravery and her love for her baby!

My stepson had to go to a drug rehabilitation! We went through the program as a family. Once a week we met with other family members of other patients. It was some very deep therapy for all of us! One couple revealed that their third child had been the result of a vicious rape of three men. They decided to keep the baby. They said that they loved their other two children and this baby had the right to live. She was 13 years old and was her Daddy’s little girl at that point. They knew that at some point that they would have to tell her the truth and they did during this time!

Stories like this is why I believe what I believe so strongly! I see such hope where others may not. Life should always be chosen if we are given that choice, I believe.

I am so honored that you shared your story with us! Just one more reason that you are so special to me!
You are a very admirable lady! And someday we will be united with our daughters! 🥀😘

There is so much pain out there with so many women that have been affected by so much heart ache because of their own personal stories! God Bless them one and all! He is our answer and our Healer!
