Quote:
History shows that humans have always sought altered states of consciousness. Not everyone who has used or is using recreational drugs are doomed. It depends on the drugs, and the psychology of the individual. In years past I used cocaine and took a few trips on acid, mescaline and mushrooms in varying degrees. It was fun and experimental. I'm fond of those experiences and have no regrets. I still smoke pot , yet drastically less frequently in the last few years, but still drink red wine and the occasional cocktail. I have a very healthy lifestyle; I'm a vegan, I run, bike, meditate, do yoga and work out. You can have a good time with drugs (responsible usage of alcohol/pot). You can also have a good time without it, but why take chances? lol Stevie, no doubt, had a good time for a while until cocaine , which is a notoriously addictive substance, became an addiction. Some of the other members were complicit in drug use, yet they all didn't have to go to rehab. I admire her awareness that her dependency got out of hand and that it was comprising her life, so she took responsibility to fix it ( You can fix this!).

just out of curiosity
Would y'all be this supportive if you had a neighbor /co-worker / friend who was a drug addict knowing had sex with someone else's husband and used abortion as a form of birth control ? |

The fact that the baby was the result of sex with someone else's husband would be irrelevant to me. In fact, when you offer reasons that an innocent infant would be ostracized, stigmatized, labeled, name-called and shunned for someone else's mistake, it does not make me anti-abortion. Michele |

Beside that, you don't know what kind of birth control method she used, maybe as the majority of people she used the natural method but it didn't work like many times happens. This was especially true for the seventies before the spreading of AIDS. |

Yes, I would almost do the abortion my self.

Who the hell is anyone to moralize about her past and the choices she made? The circumstances and intimate details surrounding her personal life are a matter of privacy It's really none of our business to analyze and make judgement calls about the what ifs and should haves. There is an incessant obsession and reference about sex and drugs, with a seemingly naive perspective that isn't well informed or nuanced about either subject. Though I feel no topic should be off limits, this inquisition was ill-conceived and lacks sensitivity. It pushed the hot button on a particularly incendiary subject. It was bound to set off a lot of polarizing theories and unnecessary pandering, far-fetched assessments.

The "the right to lifers" always make me sick because I think they are about as deep as a raindrop.

Sigh, I know I am going to regret getting involved in this argument, but how about a different viewpoint for once if we are so supportive of them all. The original poster merely asked what we thought was going on in Stevie's life at the time which would cause her to take the course of action she did. Cue the immediate vehement "her body her choice!" answer. Yes, it was her body, but I am tired of everyone pretending that making that choice isn't denying a lifetime's worth of choices to another human being who could have lived and loved and gifted the world with their own special qualities. If you have been in that situation, I know I haven't walked in your shoes, but can I humbly ask that we consider taking 9 tiny months of our general allotment of 912 of them over the average lifespan, to let another human being come into this world to be gifted to adoptive parents who are aching to give that little one a family and a home. There ARE other alternatives. (and to the person who said that everyone who wasn't supportive of killing children was about as deep as a raindrop, I hope I've shown more depth than that. If you still think not, then I'm sorry, but I'll "choose" to stick to my principles.)
