This is reprehensible, disgusting. Do I hear the sound of hobnailed boots outside? 'Our columnist' forgets that some unwanted children are wanted at birth, and the mothers only later change their minds. What then if they become a 'burden' or unwanted after birth? At age one, five, ten. What then is the moral duty? Are we to believe that the life of another has whatever value we attach to it, like a balance sheet, a snapshot of a particular day and time.
What do you think should be the cut-off point for terminations? I dunno. Secondary school?
But I see they already 'joke' about it. How easily the talk of terminating a life comes for them, even after they see the little lives entrusted to them.
Ask any of them if she regrets that their mother didn’t abort her...Ask any of them if their son or daughter, should they have any, have "the right to choose" when their mother becomes aged and "a bother"
Ask them if society doesn't have a right to choose when they become aged and "a bother"...
I’ve always said - it is futile to debate with a guilty conscience.
That child will certainly remember her at the end of days...
Abortion is just the start of a "dog eat dog" mentality. If someone gets in the way of your living an "ideal" life...kill them.
Pro-aborts think it's okay to kill humans in the womb.
Princeton Prof Peter Singer thinks it's okay to kill infants who have been out of the womb for weeks.
Cho thought it was okay to kill adults.
Alert.... Alert....Alert
Don't go mountain climbing or sky-diving with her.
In a tough situation she might decide you are expendable.
Of course, that echoes that old, black-humoured mum joke, often heard in playgrounds on wintry February afternoons What do you think should be the cut-off point for terminations? I dunno. Secondary school?
It ain't about life, freedom, protection, fairness, or anything else and it certainly isn't about the sanctity of the womb. It is about what the woman WANTS and inconvenience isn't it. Too stupid to use birth control or to pull herself out of the gene pool by seeking sterilization...
What total BS! I was married to a woman who had an abortion
and I can tell you, it left deep mental scars.
Conveniently overlooking the illogic that her “unwanted offspring” would be eagerly adopted and loved by someone else. I would guess she would not dare to cover the waiting lists and travails of couples waiting to adopt “unwanted offspring”.
“I would like to see a time when abortion is considered an intelligent, logical, humble, compassionate thing to do.”
Sweetie, you are living in those times. They are you.
Yeah, I wondered about her two surviving daughters, which she barely mentions except to whine what a burden “it” was since she didn’t abort “it”. I wonder what they’ll think when they read this article one day:
“Im not being flippant when I say it took me longer to decide what work-tops to have in the kitchen than whether I was prepared to spend the rest of my life being responsible for a further human being.”
I, I, I, me, me, me
