Well said. |
Agree. Plus, I think lots of those who get abortions, don't really want to. They get talked into it. |
And what do you base this opinion on? Such a patronizing/paternalistic view of women, to imply they can't make decisions for themselves. In fact research has shown that the vast majority of women who get abortions do not regret their decisions. |
You'd never believe how many people tried to talk me out of my pregnancy, just because they knew it'd be inconvenient timing for me. |
If true, how sad. It's one thing to make the very hard decision to abort a baby. It's quite another to have no regrets at all. |

Anyone knows the Greek comedy Lysistrata ?
"Lysistrata persuades the women of Greece to withhold sexual privileges from their husbands and lovers as a means of forcing the men to negotiate peace—a strategy, however, that inflames the battle between the sexes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysistrata" Well, in case it's ever made illegal, I think pro-choice women (the majority) should simply refuse to have sex altogether until abortion is legal (again). That will turn the tide pretty quickly. As they say in Italy “A pussy hair pulls [attracts] more than an oxcart.” |
They committed the cardinal sin of assuming people were ready to see women as equals. Hence why we have an incompetent, corrupt twitter monster reality show host about to debase the White House, and not Hillary Rodham Clinton handling an intelligent transition. It's also why in 2016 we're still debating whether or not women should be able to control their own bodies. |
Another patronizing view of women. |
Attention ladies, this breed of anti-choicer will let you have an abortion if you promise to experience regret! |
That statement is not at all patronizing. It would be amazingly cold-hearted to have no regrets. |
Regret isn't something that's forced, but those who make truly hard decisions in life that aren't clearly right/wrong and black/white typically have feelings of regret. One's heart and conscience have that kind of effect. |
You'd never believe how many people tried to talk me out of my abortion, just because they were sure I'd be able to handle having another baby as a newly divorced broke mom of a toddler with two jobs. I do not regret my decision. The decision not to continue that pregnancy allowed me to get out of debt, make a better life for DD and myself, marry a great guy, and have a baby with him, when I was ready to do so. |
And if a woman miscarries an unwanted pregnancy is she supposed to feel regret for that, too? Or if she fears she is pregnant but then discovers she is not, should she have regret for that as well? Women are human beings. They have a right to think and feel for themselves and be the master of their own fate. |
You're assuming abortion is a truly hard decision for every woman. For many women it is a relief and a godsend to not have to upend their lives and future because of an unwanted pregnancy. |
Ok. A no regret decision! |
