It scares the hell out of me thinking I may never have had a chance if my mother had decided not to have me.

You know, being adopted I hear this argument quite a lot in defense of the pro-life position... it is usually phrased something like, "if it weren't for pro-life, you would not be alive!!! To this my response is usually something like, Huh? Because I don't dwell much on time and space before I existed.

What I am wondering is, do you really dwell on that pov... or is it just a convenient come-back? We had a guy running for congress out here that used this as an excuse for his support of the pro-life position (extremely unpopular here - you can't win with that pov, and surprise!, he lost). He said he was adopted and every day he gave thanks for the fact that he is alive. Doesn't that sound a little nutty?

Do people like this also dwell on the fact that Chernobyl was controlled when it was... or that the earth has narrowly missed (relatively speaking) asteroids on occasion? yikes!
