I suspect the difference is often whether you have children or not.
At least, in retrospect, I can say with certainty that my opinions on abortion changed after my first was born.
If it is only a womans choice, why do men pay child support? I bet they would chang their tune in a heartbeat if the money was yaken away.
O wait.. i forgot libs aren’t capable of understanding heartbeats.
For what age group? College classes are 60% women.
I’m talking elementary and high school.
Great post. Women were sold a bill of goods, told they’d have “fabulous, fulfilling careers.” Instead many drag themselves off to jobs that are often drudgery, sighing, “Well, at least it’s hump day,” or “Thank God it’s finally Friday,” having no choice in the matter, and barely making ends meet. But hey, they can sleep around like men do and kill their inconvenient babies.
12 and counting.
Well I have to say, it does seem as though the price--decades of responsibility and a life time of emotional vulnerability--is an incredibly high price to pay for such a short and transient pleasure.
I liked to think, when I was young and idiotic, that I was a liberal progressive. I mocked traditionalism, Christianity, the values of my culture. Included was an ignorant belief that opposition to abortion was in truth a manifestation of an “anti-sex” hangup. I even argued this point in a college “critical” thinking course. I was a smug, sanctimonious jackass. Then my girlfriend missed a period. We were talking about “What We Would Do” when she casually assured me that she would just get an abortion. She’d had one before, after all, and it was just a clump of cells (actual words). My blood ran cold, and I nearly vomited. That moment —and I recall it vividly— changed my life. I could not ever look at her in the same way after that, and we broke up. I soon thereafter realized that much of what I “believed” had simply been a toxic blend of intentionally destructive programming and foolishness. I thank and praise God for the Truth he placed in my heart.
Abortion was enacted for the men. To relieve them of their responsibility. That it is for the women is just the media campaign.
Narcissistic young men who cannot keep their pecker in their pocket surely have no credibility on this issue, do they?
How is it a left leaning article? Did you read the whole thing?
Can you ever have enough? So loveable!
Men have always favored legal abortion. Abortion has been legal forever. During the Civil War more than 100,000 abortions were performed every year in the US.
It didn’t become illegal until women got the vote and organized their forces to make it illegal.
I was attempting to define a comprehension (some) men have because of the "slaughter" we perform (trying not to use that word) in relation to the actual slaughter a legal abortion often accomplishes.
Certainly there is a physical connection with mama and baby (I confess, I skipped that part in my excitement to post what I thought was my brand of wisdom) ... undeniable and I believe indelibly eternal.
We should never have these discussions except for the evil that forces them on us.
The second paragraph contains a lot of pro-abortion platitudes, which are spouted by the pro-aborts, who are leftist.

Was she pregnant?
The cost is not worth it. For the rest of their lives they will have phantom birthdays haunting them as to what could have been. And who they could have known and love, and would have loved them.
On the topic of cost, strictly from a dollars point of view, abortion is an abomination. Its $3,000 worth of birth control that can otherwise be had for 10 cents.
Its also a way for child molesters to avoid prosecution (try suggesting a young woman name the father).
The true purpose is to undermine civil society, so that the Utopians can finally have their day.
I see what you’re saying there. And the structure of the first sentence in the 2nd paragraph is confusing. It sounds as if Matt is thankful for the laws, when in fact he is saying that the postings he read expressed gratitude for pro-abort laws. But what he’s offering there are the reasons he was so angered by the Twitter trail he was reading. By the end of the article his sentiments are more clear. Matt Hammitt is most definitely pro-life, pro-father, and outspokenly Christian!
