“None of us would want to face this choice.”
No, I couldn’t agree more.
I’d say 9 out of 10 would opt for the day after pill.
I have known women who did not make the Satanic choice. None of them regretted it. 0%.
I have known women who, in that situation, went ahead and procured the death of their baby. Some regretted that choice.
I think people fool themselves into thinking this is the “compassionate” choice, because they can’t imagine going nine months with a pregnant lady who was a victim of rape. The horror of the crime so overwhelms the innocent bystander, that they find it difficult to be in her presence. And to be pregnant! A constant reminder to the friends the father, the mother, sister or brother of the victim of the terrible tragedy to have befallen the victim. So, in the mind of the father, the mother, the friend, or brother or sister, it is more “compassionate” to “get rid of it.”
But really, that is not compassion to the victim. “Compassion” means “to suffer with.” To accompany another in his/her suffering. The pregnant woman needs someone who will suffer along side her, not try to eliminate the problem by assisting her in killing her baby. The only one for which you have any “compassion” is yourself, because if the woman aborts, you will free yourself from having to suffer with her. You will not be greeted with the horror of the crime every time you see her. She will forever know she killed her baby. But you can forget about it. Pat yourself on the back for avoiding the pain of being truly compassionate.
