Had an abortion in 1982. I have never regretted it. I made the right decision for me.
Y'all have fun shouting in the snow. |

Good. Then they can adopt all of the available children out there. |
Ok - how about "viable baby" vs. "non-viable baby"? Late term abortion considered baby euthanasia. |
If you think a baby is a "punishment," then don't make one. |
define viable. Keeping in mind viable can range from cloning a human from a skin cell to being able to breath/drink/eat independently. |
Conservative Christians seem to think the only purpose of sex is procreation. Sorry your lives such so much. |
I'll take the 22 week gestation I mentioned earlier. After that point abortions restricted to those deemed medically necessary by patient and doctor. |
The fuck you is to everyone on this thread dismissing babies in the womb as non-babies or non-humans. It's just bizarre and weird to claim that. Why did you insert something about third trimester abortions into an exchange about terminology? You were totally off topic. |
They need to change the legal terminology to match biological reality. It's a human being either way. Its right to live are a different story, as sad as that may be. |
I disagree with you. When I miscarried, I lost a baby. The grief is different, because I didn't get to know him/her in the same way I have my children, but there is grief nonetheless. |
PP -- I'm so sorry for your loss, and I would never tell you how to grieve your miscarriage. Your experience is your own, just as my experience is mine. |
They love to equate even the day-after pill (which prevents the sperm from even implanting, thus it's not even a fertilized egg let alone a fetus) with third trimester abortions. That's what the Hobby Lobby folks did. To anti-abortion activists, EVERYTHING is a third trimester abortion. |
The right has, for decades, twisted this issue in the direction that allows them to feel morally superior all the while avoiding doing any real work in service of the women at the heart of the matter. You've got skills! Do you support free contraception in schools? Have you adopted an unwanted child? How many impoverished, abused, neglected, unwanted children do you support with your time? Do you even think about the children born into lives of hell once they've left the womb? No. You don't. It is your actions that are irresponsible and immoral. |
On the contrary, the left is all about responsible sex, and there teaches all about birth control, STDs, etc. And wants to make birth control freely available to all. The right, on the other hand, wants to limit access to both sex education and contraception. And what do you get? Bristol Palin with babies by two different fathers, none of whom she was married to. |
