Interesting to note.....

Today my children and I, along with some other church members, participated in the LIFE CHAIN event. It is where you stand along a stretch of road holding up signs proclaiming "Abortion Kills Children". It is also an hour long

er vigil for our nation.

The interesting thing to note was that approximately 75% of the people that honked their horns or gave us a

were men. I was kind of surprised. We did, of course, face some bad things too but the kids and I would just say a short

er to touch the people that chose to say bad things to us. It was peaceful. We were not there to yell or protest, as I said, it was mostly us standing their holding our signs and

ing.

Anyway! That was how I spent my Sunday afternoon with my kids.

I debated answering here as abortion is really a controversial subject. I'm not surprised at all that it was men who honked. Women don't want to be told what they can and can't do.

You and I will never agree on this topic. Scientifically and medically a fertilized egg is not a child. When abortion is performed early on you are stopping an egg from growing, not killing a child.

Now if you were out there protesting against late term abortion then I'm happy to agree it's murder and there is a growing child involved.

The medical procedures for early and late abortions are completely different.

On the flip side, why take your children to such a protest where people are saying such things to them? Why would you intentionally put them in that line of fire?

Audrey, I am glad you voiced your opinion and I respect yours and I know you respect mine. THanks for that! And you are right, we would never agree. But that's okay. We are all moms here and I

! Thanks for sharing your opinion with me.

Well as Audrey says this is a controversial subject but Lulu, if I lived where you are I would have been standing right beside you for that hour.

I respect other people's thoughts and its their right to voice their opinion but I feel that a fertilized egg is the beginning of a child and still its killing a baby. Even scientifically and medically you will find a difference of opinion. This is just mine.
