I donât imagine that as being the most attractive part.
Instead, i think it must cut down on so much of the stresses and anxiety of the modern world. We must decide everything for ourselves. Our education, our occupation, our individual job, whether to marry, the specifics of that marriage, whether to have children, etc. And now, our sexuality and gender (or so the liberals say!) On top of that, we must decide how to be morally good in an economically ambiguous world, in which we are told (again by the liberals!) that oil, the lifeblood of our economy, is bad. What do we do?
Fighting against abortion seems like a very straightforward thing to do. Plus tithe to church, and then you deserve any material wealth or power you acquire. And if you donât get those things, you still have meaning and sanctification.

Younger girls definitely tend to be less regular than adult women, and less aware of the timing on top of that. By early 20s the women who arenât on hormonal BC are probably a lot more regular, although certainly exceptions abound, and there are certainly going to be some women who wonât figure out theyâre pregnant within 6 weeks, more likely the younger they are.
In one extreme case a gal I know literally went to the ER complaining of severe stomach cramps⊠she was in active labor and had no idea she was pregnant and had a healthy 7 pound baby. Thatâs extremely unusual, but it happens.
Probably varies quite a bit from one pro-lifer to the next.
A lot of denial going on in that case, i think.
The gal who didnât know she was pregnant?
No, it was a wild story. She was engaged and trying to lose weight for the wedding and frustrated that it wasnât really coming off despite her eating much healthier and exercising a lot more than she had been.
She said her periods got lighter but she kept having them and sheâd made a change to her birth control pills and assumed the change in flow was due to that.
She wore her regular non-maternity clothes to the hospital when she was in labor, having never gone up even one pant size (yes, I hate her⊠Iâm still working off baby weight and my kid is in school now.) And they said she had an anterior placenta, meaning itâs in front rather than in back of the uterus⊠something that happens in about 10% of pregnancies and results in mom feeling very little movement from the baby, but is not otherwise problematic in any way.
She truly had no idea. She was engaged and she & her fiancĂ© lived together and were planning on having kids after they got married⊠the father and both sets of grandparents were shocked, but thrilled. So it wasnât like it was some bad thing that she had a baby or she had any reason to be in denial. If sheâd known sheâd have stopped taking birth control pills and cut out alcohol, but she wasnât drinking much anyway as she was trying to lose weight for the wedding.
Except⊠they had nothing. No bassinet, no clothes, no diapers, no car seat⊠NOTHING!
Theyâve now been married over 25 years and had two more kids. All three kids were healthy & normal. But she was aware of the later two pregnancies.
I have a similar story. A cousin who got severe back pains while on a field trip with her students. She thought it was kidney stones but had a baby instead.
She is a âlarge frameâ person. She didnât think she could have kids. I never asked, but just assume she had very rare/irregular periods. She couldnât figure out why she was gaining weight.
They were thrilled.
Yeah this gal had put on the âfreshman 15â in college, got engaged senior year, and was going to get married the following summer, having never really worked off that freshman 15.
So⊠she was heavier than she wanted to be, but not really âfatâ in any reasonable sense of the word. I didnât ask but Iâm guessing she was a size 8 when she had the baby, up from maybe a size 4 when she started college 5 years earlier.
This happened to my mother. I was a contraceptives fail and she had no clue she was pregnant until she went to the doctor for something else. She said she was so surprised she said âYouâre kidding.â and walked around the doctorâs desk to see the result. 
She didnât make it to the delivery room without knowing, but she was well into the pregnancy.

Yeah, this pregnancy was a contraceptive fail as well. I wonder if taking BC pills during pregnancy causes that.
Oh, and they probably would have scheduled the wedding on a different date. The baby came like 3.5 weeks before the wedding! They did end up postponing their honeymoon as the bride was breastfeeding, but they got married on the original date. And she fit into her dress! (Did I mention that I hate her? 
)

I think my mom was using a sponge or diaphragm at the time. I remember thinking that it was a very inconvenient method whatever it was.

Ah, so I drew a bogus commonality then.
But still, having light periods during pregnancy is a thing that does sometimes happen.

FECâs internal staff have identified 28 cases worthy of investigation of violation of campaign law by Trump, his family, or campaigns. FEC board has approved 0 investigations.
I agree, i wasnât trying argue it was everybody. And all of those feelings i described can also exist side by side in the same person with a genuine commitment towards reducing abortion.

Could you imagine being Black and Trumpâs VP? Do you think heâd call you âmy African-Americanâ like he used to do with that one supporter who followed him to every rally?
