Apparently those moms weren't that "pro-life." The sticker is even more ridiculous when we consider that some women facing unplanned pregnancies actually receive pressure from their mothers to abort.

She made the choice to give me birth and place me for adoption because she knew she was not capable of raising me. Unfortunately I was raised in foster care rather than adopted. I have a saying: Pro-Life Does NOT end at birth! I even did a blog entry on this subject. Peace, Larry~ My birthmother was pro-choice.

It's just not a good idea. Plus, bumper sticker politics mostly just aggravate me, and aggravated isn't a good thing to be when you're driving. Thanks for another good post.

Without the freedom of choice we could live in a world where all women facing an unplanned pregnancy could be forced to parent, or forced to place or forced to abort. That's the scary thing. The choice to decide what's right for us, our bodies and our babies is a powerful thing. I wanted to say that being prochoice to me means that I have all my choices available to me.

Thank you! I am one of those pro-choice "moms" who chose adoption. I don't know how often people assume that I'm pro-life in a sense that I feel that abortion is a sin. Being pro-choice does not mean being pro abortion. Jenna – YES!!!!! Thank you! I am one of those pro-choice “moms” who chose adoption.

This was an awesome post. That bumper sticker really shows how some people can be so simple minded and ignorant. Although I have never seen the particular phrase that is here, I have seen one that says "Choose Life, Your Mom Did" At first, I thought it was a pro-life sticker, but after reading this post, I realized that it could be interpreted as pro-choice. The word "choose" is in there, afterall. I would assume that the owner of the bumper sticker intended for it to be pro-life and just haven't realized what others could interpret it to mean.

I chose not to. Not because of any pro-life belief, but becuase I wanted my child. Imagine how difficult it was to make that decision only to later lose her to adoption? I also dont think abortion and adoption should be mixed. It blurs the lines. Sure, unplanned pregnancies can lead to abortion or adopton but one is not better or worse than the other. Trust me, I know. I have done both. The pro-lifers use abortion to feed adoption. I have problems with that. Why dont the pro-lifers use abortion to feed family-preservation? Too often they say, dont abort your baby, give it up for adoption. Why dont they just say keep your baby? Grrr. agreed with dawn. awesome post.
