Recently I recieved an e-mail reading:
"Hey everyone one of my friends is pregnant and her boyfriend wont let her have it, I already told him and her it is wrong to have an abortion cause you should not kill a live human being. Then I said if I get 500 people to sign a paper that says its wrong to have an abortion then would you let her have the baby and he said yes. So I'm asking you please sign this that says an abortion is wrong and to let her have the baby. And if you are the 500th person send it back to me at Cutiegirl52@hotmail.com so I can give it to her and him.Thanx"

It was followed by a list of 65 names.

I was rather appalled by the letter.
So, as usual, I opened my big mouth and said my peace...
And now I'm saying it again, for y'all.



I'm sorry... But even though I don't agree with abortion, and I believe that they should have the child and give it up for adoption because there are plenty of people who'd be more than grateful for a child because they can't have one. However, I can't put my name to something that will influence someone else's life so greatly. They thought they were adults enough to have sex, why aren't they adults enough to deal with the consequences without involving anyone else; the sex didn't (hopefully).

Besides, I honestly don't believe that a guy can tell a girl if she CAN or CAN'T have the child that's inside her. Her boyfriend can't deny her the right to have the child if she truly wanted to. If he did anthing to her to make her miscarry then he could be charged with manslaughter. She thought herself woman enough to lay down with that boy and make this baby, but she's not woman enough to tell him that this child is just as much, if not more, hers as it is his and she's having this child? It's not like she needs his permission to have their child. He obviously consented to the sex that got her pregnant, and so -I think- he should step up to bat and be a Man and suffer the consequences of their action; and maybe in the process he could spread some sunshine into someone's life who'd love and care for that child.

Either way, I can't take part in directing someone else's life... That right is reserved for only the people directly involved in their life, and God... And I don't know either of them... And I am certainly not God... I will, however, pass it on... I'd love to hear that the child lives to find a good home... But I'm in no position to dictate these two people's lives... Besides, who's to say that he's going to stand up to 'consenting' to her having this child even after 500 people do take a stand and tell him that abortions wrong? I mean, he's not wanting to take responsibility for his part in the action that got her pregnant, so what's 500 other people's name on a lousy list got to do with jack? For all he knows they could be forged...

Good Luck,
Me

Well...
I decided that since "Cutiegirl52" felt that she must share her oppion, perhaps she might like to listen to mine as well. So I included her e-mail address in the list of people I was passing the mail on to. In return I got an e-mail reading:
"Hi. This is your mail server.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.

I found this really intresting, and imediately sent out an e-mail stating that they should ignor the previous mail on abortion, included the above information, and theorized a bit, and came to concluded that it was all a bunch of bullshit...

Either A.) it's too late, the deed (which ever it was) is finished and over B.) the mail was successful and the 500 names were already gathered, ans turned in C.) the girl in the situation finally grew herself a backbone and broke it down for the guy, D.) It was a hoax to begin with, carried out simply for curiosity... Or E.) "CutieGirl52" thought it was perfectly okay for her to voice her oppion, and expected us to care enough to listen, but when it came around to her caring enough to listen to other people's oppions, she coudln't rise to the occasion
Either way... It's over... And there's no need to bother anyone with FWD'ing that mail... 1
