I think what I meant to get across and realized I didn't was that I don't expect everyone to suddenly 'agree' that pro-life is the way for you. I think what bothered me so much was that the posts I was reading were saying that pro-lifers don't have a valid argument. I guess I just wanted to write and say that I feel MY argument is valid and it's how I'd live MY life.
Also, having a really good discussion with the huz last night we realized that you can't expect everyone to know the full realm and scope of their decisions (especially teenagers) so with my pro-life choice I'd need to fight for "pregnancy education" in schools along with sex ed, older women need to be educated by their OB's (and for that to happen there's a big health care issue!? Not everyone sees an OB once a year) And just basically, there's so many factors involved there's no way that one day a doctor can look at you and say, "Well, I'm sorry you didn't understand what you were getting into, but too bad, we can't save your life."
Thanks for all your input, and I'm glad we were able to keep it civil.

Of course, your decision is valid. And you shouldn't even have to argue about it. It's your body and your pregnancy; you get to decide. That's what choice is all about, right?
You got it! Girl power! (And we only have power if we are allowed to keep it.) I don't want to be powerless to someone else's ideals. That doesn't mean someone else's ideals are wrong. :0)
