What if? Just a whimsical thought on my part.

I don't think abortion is a wonderful thing. It would be much better to prevent unwanted pregnancies through education. But life is is not perfect, and is   more...full of hard decisions! I think a woman's right to decide for herself should be protected. What do you think?  less

YOU decide if the bible is inspired by God.

Just think of the real women that had to undergo this test....

Women have been subjugated in so many ways by paternal societies and their MALE gods.
