        I really don't know how to start answering this message, so I will start by saying that I believe abortion is wrong in ANY circumstances and nothing will change my view of that.  The reason why I say that minors should notify their parents is that the parents would know how to handle the situation much better than the minor.  Teenagers often don't realize the value of their parents and are not willing to confide in them.  Now I do admit that some parents don't actually have value and in that case I
 think it should be required that the minor at least see a counselor.
        Next, you asked me what I think as an individual without necessarily taking my religious views into account.  First of all, I am not religious.  A religion is Catholic, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Baptist, etc.  Christianity is not a religion, it is a way of life and I can not seperate Christian beliefs and my beliefs because they are one and the same.
        My decision to oppose abortion is not based on religion.  It is based on the fact that I can't stand the murder of innocent human beings who were never given a chance in life, because their mother didn't want them.  Our God IS a loving and caring God.  It is the sins of the world that cause so much misery.
        No, sending girls to backstreet abortionists will not solve the problem.  But neither will keeping abortion legal.  It would make girls think twice before they go kill their baby and it would cut down the number of abortions greatly!  Nothing will ever solve the problem.  The problem started when Eve bit the apple and it is getting worse and worse all the time.  When Jesus comes back the problem will be solved, though.
        Yes, it is better for a child to be brought up in a loving and caring environment, but you would kill a baby because you THINK it will have an unhappy life?  You don't know what is going to happen in that baby's life.


        Do you live in England?  I am sorry that I did not reply last night like I said I would, but I ended up going out with some friends and then they spent the night.  In fact, they are still here, sleeping. Well, I suppose I better go.  BYE.
                                In God's love,
                                Rebekah
