Abortion Discussion & Lost Friends
January 10, 2009 8:15 pm Abortion, friends, groupsOne of my groups got a discussion going about abortion and I told what had changed my view on the subject. My view changed all in one afternoon because I had. As usual I got put down for voicing my views. I was pro-choice till someone I knew got an abortion. She was an emotional basket case after getting an abortion. She called what she had done murdering her child. I became anti-abortion after hearing the raw pain and personal guilt my friend was going through. What is wrong with telling what changed your mind about a hot issue.
There have been hot issues before on that group and as usual I am right in the middle of it. If I wanted to I could get that stirred up again. I was the last one to post before that thread was shut down. I guess that is part of why I wanted my own website so I could post whatever I needed to post. anything I had written. for instance the article about Vladimir was written years ago for my writing class. No one ever saw it but the instructor who was grading the article. time has come for it to at least see a little of the light of day.
Once again I believe I have made a true friend. I certainly hope this friendship lasts. I made a friend of Jeanne and she moved away. I made a friend of Pamela and she disappeared as if she dropped of the face of the earth. I was bending over backwards to be a good friend. She had also made commitments to help me edit my book. I kept calling and leaving messages but I never got through to her. She had said she would be there we were helping the family I even gave her one of my mother’s Bunt pans and one or my Woks. She promised she would be around and we would be close. That only lasted a couple of months then she disappeared. The phone is disconnected. I made a couple of close friends on the internet and they have both dropped out of sight. e-mail addresses bounce. They are just gone, I miss them. Most people don’t get that close online. This week I made another new friend I hope this lasts for a long time. I met my husband online why can’t I make lasting friendships with people online I do not intend to marry? As the orphan on “Angels On The Outfield” so often said, “It could happen.”
