I know this original topic was R vs W, and I suppose it stretched out to a degree, but I see nothing wrong with discussing it for whomever wants to contribute.

Apple & SB, we unpredictably found a common "life experience" and I think the emotions since our revealing it, have surfaced and at least for me, and maybe you two, something we haven't necessarily thought or talked about in so many years, sparks the emotion in us. I know I surprised myself getting a little teary eyed even as I posted the short portion that I did. Where'd that come from??? I hate to see it become an arguement because I do believe each of us are sincere in our beliefs and that's to be respected.

Yes, if I was asked to take a stand, I would say I am against abortion. However, the cases we are referring to (rape, incest)is something to be looked at with an understanding heart (as opposed to abortion for birth control). I do understand the arguement and admit I do take a step back in these cases, no matter what I may or may not decide in my personal situation, leaving me confused at times. Does that make sense?
