[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I terminated when we found out the 3rd pregnancy was a boy. I had told my husband I would only raise a 3rd child if it was a girl, as our first 2 were boys. This was an unintended pregnancy so I was not thrilled to begin with. 1st trimester so there were no issues. [/quote]

I find this absolutely appalling.  I am struggling with how I feel about abortion, and a story like this makes it even harder.[/quote]

You might also consider that this is extremely likely to be untrue/a troll.[/quote]

My mother worked in a women’s hospital as a nurse and said this was in fact a very common reason to have an abortion. Other common reasons were, I’m going on vacation or to a wedding and want to be able to drink or I just don’t feel like being pregnant right now. [/quote]

You know, you don't have to like any of those reasons. You can feel they are totally wrong. People do things I strongly disagree with each and every day, but I wouldn't think of making illegal, like drinking alcohol. [/quote]

Are you really comparing an adult drinking alcohol to aborting a baby?[/quote]

Yes. We are talking about the government being able to enforce what a person can and cannot do with their body.

Remember that at one point, alcohol was illegal, because alcohol consumption has extremely negatively consequences for society at large. People die every day from drinking alcohol and from being impacted from those who drink. But we realized that hey, making something illegal isn't the way to deal with this. So yes, they are both good examples of disapproving of a choice but not advocating for criminalizing that choice.[/quote]
