We really want to hear from you! If you’ve got a story to tell, email Atlee Breland at atlee@parentsagainstms26.com.
We’ll keep your name private if you prefer, because we know from experience how tough it can be to discuss your personal health choices.
It’s important to help people realize that reproductive complications like infertility and ectopic pregnancy are very common, and that our situations aren’t just empty pro-choice rhetoric. Thanks for helping us advocate for families like yours and mine.
I don’t agree with a women nor a teenage that goes out and have sex willingly. Than get preganet, than want to get rid of it. i’m asainst a rape victim or insist vitiim being forced to go on threw their pregancy. you get raped . you want to forget about what happened to you. carring that baby may prolong your recovery. that’s why i’m against 26. and some other things i looked at. these ladies only should have a chose.
I would like to make a point that I haven’t seen or heard anywhere. If anyone wishes to republish this point of view to help your cause, please do so.
Even the most staunch supporters of 26 acknowledge that it takes away even more freedom, which in my book is enough to vote against it. But these supporters say “We are Christians, and as Christians we are against abortion, period.” I believe that the dogmatic and inflexible feed on affirmation from their peers, so it doesn’t surprise me that none of them are looking at the issue from a truly Christian perspective.
Not even the holiest of holy on Earth will tell you he or she knows God’s plan or why God allows – among many things – abortion to happen. Yet, here we have another example of holy people justifying interference in other people’s lives. Those who feel a sense of duty to collectively interfere with other people’s rights in order to protect embryos from being terminated through abortion are also forcing a little person who is guaranteed a place in heaven next to God (embryos don’t sin) to live here on Earth. This is where sin and sickness and pain await them.
Supporters of 26 are taking it upon themselves to strip away that guarantee from these little angels, and THAT just might be what God intended for them in the first place. So I ask supporters of proposition 26, do YOU want to THAT to answer for if you make it to Heaven in the first place?
