Reply #148: I gotta tell ya, Skinner - I used to be pro-life, myself [View All]

Yes, I protested at abortion clinics. Yes, I distributed pro-life literature. Yes, I even wanted charges brought against doctors who performed abortions.

But, on the other hand, no, I didn't believe in forcing women to have children they didn't want or couldn't support. No, I didn't want women to be forced to have children who were the products of incest and/or rape. And yes, I always supported abortion to save the life of the mother or to end the suffering of a terminally ill fetus who had no real hope for a life.

I guess you could say that within this pro-life advocate, there was a pro-choice advocate trying to get out. My future wife was of tremendous influence in showing me what the real parameters of abortion were. She done good.
