Dropping Out

[lesliepear]

I left the pregnant community today also. (Or at least unfriended it).
I didn't think it was appropriate to discuss abortion there..I'm pro-choice in general, don't know what I'd do in reality.

Still lurking in the other pregnancy related communities (pregnantwomen etc.)

I read that every so often and found it tacky to be posting about stuff like that in a community of pregnant women. :( I'm pro-choice all the way and had to make that decision a few years ago, but I still don't think ti's something to be discussed with other people. It's a personal choice, not a public choice.

I agree with the last comment. That's kind of tacky discussing that in a group for pregnant women. I left ages ago, simply because I felt the support wasn't there, once you had a child...

Good Lord! That is even worse then the time the 19-year-old with 2 kids was going on about how she was a perfectly good mother even though she was young!
Geesh!

was this remark sarcastic? or serious?

just wondering. i have a friend who was 19 years old at the time (now she's 30), and she had a 2 year old child with her husband. she was the best mom ever. she still is...and has 3 children now.

It was serious, in reference to the argument that ensued on [Unknown site tag] after one member (for no readily apparent reason) went on a rampage about how being a young mother was a good thing. That was a long drawn out fight, but not as bad as the one lesiepear dropped out of the community for.

I wasn't just cracking wise in general! :)

I'm pro-choice also, but I have to agree. It's inappropriate for that community. I left it shortly after having Katie, but loved it while I was there. Heck, I think that's were we met.

Anyway, if you're going to have an abortion, then you're not going to be pregnant and that's not what the community is for. In fact, I think there is actually an abortion support community. Why not go there?

I unfriended pregnant awhile ago. It was my stalker joining (from finding it on my friend's list of course) that caused me to do so, although I was starting to get overwhelmed by the amount of posts.
