You weren't responsible...you were irresponsible when you CHOOSE to have sex when you weren't ready to have another child.
It was with my husband.
And?
Married people can be irresponsible...I don't understand your point.
Oh - - my pardons
I was on birth control.
What are your views of viable embryo's which have been developed in a laborotory and after
IVF are surplus to requirements and are then disposed of ??
I support all my Sisters here who have had to do what they had to do - for the best outcome for all.
Others need to understand too - sometimes it has nothing to do with the "mother's selfish wishes" - but that the CHILD would be born very sick and deformed. Do you wish such a life on someone?
I am not the one who has to make peace with themselves about this issue.

Evidently your views on disability are confined to the TV Friendly Mildly Retarded.
Google Harlequin Baby.
And there are much worse extremes. Like things with no brains, fused together legs, eyes coming out the stomach, lumps of flesh that cannot survive - even WITH medical attention....
You really aren't too well versed in what CAN happen, are you? You can't be if all you see is a smiling MILDLY retarded and basically 99% "normal" person.
Ever see a thing with half its organs on the outside of the body?
I'm going to guess no.

I am very left wing, but I have always been against abortion. It is a sad world we live in where people make ANY sort of excuse to kill a baby. The only exception I can think of is if the baby will be born deformed or mentally challenged. Besides that, abortions should be banned.

Someone is an "extremist" for opposing infanticide? It's extreme to expect full grown adults to be able to understand and take responsibility for their actions?
And there is where we disagree. OKAY, conception. Life does not begin at conception. I don't care about the DNA of a "unique embryo", virus' have DNA> I feel no guilt and I sleep fine. You can't bully me into feeling otherwise. I am your nemisis.
Life is easy to make, hard to sustain. Sex is usually entertainment and comfort, hardly ever procreation. I mean really, are you ready to have a son for every time you had sex? C"mon! What year is it? Is your seed sacred too?
You want to get into murder? Okay. I believe in justifiable homicide. I believe in self defense. As a country we develope armies that are willing to kill to defend our rights. I believe in the death penalty. I do not support in genocide, or planned murder for political power.
