Promise I will behave. However I really just don't buy pro-lifers arguments. As a caseworker I see every day the consequences of unplanned pregnancies and unwanted children. And often its a continuous cycle. And every time I look(correct me if I'm wrong please) its always people of your group talking about the sanctity of life but favor cutting essential social programs that provide things such as birth control, adequate housing, schooling etc. Adoption would be all nice and good if there were available families however. In my state alone there are scores of black children without homes and very few families to adopt them. Pro-choice is not responsible for killing anybody counseling abortion alternatives. Doctors and nurses have been murdered in the name of pro-life. Lastly I have to ask this, if the majority of women getting the abortions were blacks and other minorities would the pro-life movement be as loud as it is? I’m not here to start a fight.

Society? Hollywood? Who has the answers Lauren, your precious Planned Parentood? Or the State? Who trumps parents when it comes to something as imporant as abortion? You are being manipulated and you don’t even realize it. The question you should ponder Lauren is, “Who is manipulating you?” Joe Of course, always agree with parents. Never grow, change, think for yourself. Parents are human as well, they do sometimes get it wrong. Or should the abused children in the world accept that as long as it comes from their parents it is deserved? If it is OK to disagree with your parents, then who are you supposed to agree with?

What has the world done to you that you want to lash out at everyone. You just prove the point that everyone keeps trying to make. Pro-lifers are NOT the angry ones. Pro-aborters are. No body here is trying to pick a fight. Remember, You sought out OUR website. Of course you can disagree with your parents. For instance, if your parents are pro choice, feel free to disagree and be pro-life! I will pray for you, that you might find some peace in your soul, and I will as the 40 million aborted babies to pray for you too. As Jesus said, "Forgive them, for they know not what they do".. It's a shame that all the babies who have died at the clinics today, will not have a chance to see your pug...or a butterfly, or a redbud or a kangaroo. Your pug lives on, while children die. Sound a little confused to you? If you are able to love you little dog, then there must be hope...you're heart may not be completely frozen. Perhaps there is still a chance that you can find your way home... God Bless You, Mary Kay My dear sweet Lauren,

I was out with them many times before moving to California. This is my first time looking at this site and I must say that Lauren's comments became very wearisome. If she had been with some of the women (and men) who contacted WEBA-Illinois for about 18 years, she would not be so harsh. Maybe she needs to contact someone for peer counseling? I'm doing a poor job of quoting, but here goes, "Me thinks thou protestest a little too loudly." If and when you need help Lauren, it will be the "pro-lifers" who will care. God bless you all and keep up the good work! Hi Eric, I thank God for you and your parents. I was out with them many times before moving to California.

We found this out when one client left and told my friend, "I know you are planning to hit me in the face!" What a shock to us! Since we are peaceful Christians, the opposition seeks to scare the clients out of talking to us by lying about our intentions towards them! When we fail to live up to the lies about prolifers, the Planned Parenthood crowd creates fear in the hearts of their own clients by planting the idea in their minds that we are not to be trusted and are dangerous and violent. No wonder they refuse to speak to us! Let us debunk these myths about prolifers. The last thing in the world we would do would be to harm anyone!
