Why doesn't someone who's really interested in the pro/anti-abortion discussion write to the site master or start a website to discuss this. Perhaps someone out there is saying "Why don't you just not read those posts?" Well, it's because the t_tles of posts (intentionally?) hoodwink me. And it sure feels like an intrusion to follow a post's t_tle that seemed to be about something else, but winds up being about that. I can see that not being annoying once or twice, but so many of these posts' t_tles are creating a subterfuge for the actual posts at hand. It would also be one thing to read someone's opinion, but more often it turns out to be subtle or not-so-subtle propaganda. And remember, this is a "Best Age to Get Pregnant" forum. I understand that there are many subjects inextricably linked in life, but at the same time, why not just start a whole forum for the passion of this argument amongst those who actually wish to discuss it. For many (hormonal, pregnant) women, it's just aggravating. If certain ones of us desire to discuss abortion, we'll just go to this new forum. I would ask the site master myself, but I feel more that it's the zealots responsibility to take the initiative to be respectful in this way. Thank you.

What are you confused about? I happen to think "me" has made it pretty clear. And I completely agree, by the way. And I'm not even a "hormonal pregnant woman", but I wholeheartedly agree.

I agree with this posting.

But you do think it is your responsibility to police the entire forums. I do agree with one point in that it's irritating to go into a thread to find abortion debates when it was never in the t_tle. But that is the nature of an anonymous thread and the Web masters do not care whatsoever about that. I find your posts in each thread telling people to read this one even more annoying than the abortion threads themselves. In the end, if you do not like it, either deal with it (as I do) or find yourself a new Web site as no one is going to care.

Please read more carefully next time. I'm not policing anything. I'm making a suggestion, and it's presented a lot more tactfully than I was feeling the controversial subject was owed at that point. In addition, I purposefully went to each "abortion" thread & left a little note because it seemed no one noticed & kept posting to those threads without commenting at all on this suggestion. Thanks for your comments. But I have every right to also be annoyed (& it seems you are in the minority in your disagreement so far at least) that there isn't a separate thread for this obviously enormous issue onto itself. There are quite a few posting boards on this site; why not one more? It appears as though this board & the pregnant-women-over-35 site were recently added. Who knows if they were requests by "anonymous" threaders? Thanks again.

Why are you so "annoyed", Annoyed? All she's (?) suggesting is that they have another thread to click their mouses on. I agree that it's f*ckin' ridiculous to read these discussions (flame wars) on abortion in a thread about best age to get pregnant. Duh.

"it seemed no one noticed & kept posting to those threads" Did you really expect any different?

Seems to have worked to post to those threads. People are responding now. Thanks for yours.

All it really takes is one person. One person in an otherwise pregnancy themed thread to comment or question or suggest on the subject of abortion. After that, anyone who responds is then following the thread. Beyond that, this seems to be the forum of choice for anyone under the age of 21 to post or question. It is more likely to pop up here than in the infertility forum or any other for that matter. Besides, no one said you had to agree with any of the opinions posted on the entire site. Moreover, you do not have to comment on any other posts. You can simply bypa__s all of them and respond to the original question. So, you may not be policing the forum, but you do seem to be criticizing anyone who doesn't stick to the topics you deem appropriate. Oh, and by the way, your question had nothing to do with the best age to get pregnant.

ooooh, Med student... I'm scared of a med student. lol You will surely out-intellect all of us, and now we know that since you post as "med student.'
I agree with the original post as well. We wouldn't have to bypa__s any abortion post if we didn't have to deal with them in so many threads on a forum that's not even about that! I don't think you're right about one person bringing it up in a post that's about something else in the first place. Most of these abortion posts start out AS abortion posts, but sometimes you don't know that until you click on it. I think "me" has it right. I'm really sick of seeing the abortion bullsh1t in this forum. It's taking over.

Feel free to hit the poor taste b___ton or e-mail the Web master.

"People are responding now. Thanks for yours." Oh, my apologies, I did not realise you were just desperate to have a thread of your own for people to post to. I guess that should have been obvious by you posting in every thread to get them to come here (i.e. "policing"). Knock yourself out.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people try to claim that someone is arrogant just because they mention that they're a scientist or medical professional. FFS, I might understand someone claiming that "med student" isn't a med student. After all, this is a public forum, and anyone can claim whatever they want. But a person is not arrogant simply because they tell you that their job! Lying? Maybe. Arrogant? Not at all.

Thank you *X*. Now I must admit that I'm not even sure what "to Med Student's" issue is. Is the objection to anyone posting about something other than a carry-to-term pregnancy? Is the objection to anyone wandering outside the realm of stretch marks and cravings? Are we perhaps unaware that womens' clinics deliver babies AND abort them? So, these two procedures can share a building but not a website? Someone should tell Planned Parenthood to get with the program in that case. It seems somewhat silly to have a fit because you click on a heading that does not lead to the thread you thought it would. There is a back b___ton on most browser windows, you know. Note, I did not have to resort to name calling to make my point. Why don't you make yours?

Must agree with Med Student.. isn't the "Best Age to get Pregnant" the BEST forum to have this kind of discussion in? I mean, isn't abortion all about not being ready for pregnancy? Isn't it about NOT being at the "best age" for you? Wether you are pro-life or pro-choice, this kind of discussion NEEDS to happen, and happen, and what better place then here?
