Kellyanne Conway says she helped pay for a friend's abortion
AOL News ^ | March 21, 2017 | Anna Iovine

White House adviser Kellyanne Conway was recently profiled by New York Magazine about her life and role in Trump's presidency. The interview illuminated many previously unknown tidbits about Conway -- such as her nickname of "Blueberry."

One story of Conway's in particular struck a nerve with some. Conway identifies as pro-life, but told New York Magazine she's "sympathetic" to women who undergo the procedure.

"Do I know anybody who ever got an abortion? Well, of course I do. I've driven them there. I've helped pay," she told New York Magazine.

"You know, when you're young, you're thinking about the person, not the issue. We were younger, and I was focused on her, not on the larger public policy."(continued)

I didn’t realize a pregnant woman could birth a “public policy”.

When you are dealing with people you love and who are no longer children, supporting stupid decisions becomes inevitable.

Amen, always good advice. Especially now with all the judgemental crap that’s been flying around FR in the absence of data.

My sister, a fairly religious conservative now days, had an abortion in the 1970s. I have never talked with here about it, but my brother in law has. She has regretted it since, and really wishes that she hadn’t done it.

Life as a late teenager is different from life as an adult.

I was a big pro-everything-left commie materialist when I was young.

Matthew 18:
15Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican

More from Matthew 18:
1At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 6But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

yeah, it’s a horrible thing in this country, and a lot of people have gotten sucked into it along the way, including myself, and it really is terribly unfortunate that this particular genie was let out of its bottle.

Yes, it’s a shame how people around here judge Obama, Hillary, and ISIS? It’s a shame. Why can’t we be more like them?

I wasn’t against abortion until my first child was born at 27 weeks and 3 and a half pounds.

When that tiny hand was grasping my fingertip on a hair-raising, 25 minute 40 mile Code One bambalance ride to a neo-natal facility, my life changed.

And to think that people in positions of power would have no problem killing a wee one that size

A question I’ve often wondered - if you commit a sin and don’t know it, are you guilty? Many women are told their baby is not alive but a “blob of flesh” then find out the truth later. I can’t answer that question but someday we all will face the Lord and answer to Him. What will be the fate of the liars? I’m more sure of what happens to them.

All of us were young once, and most of us were stupid to boot. I know I was. Given the opportunity at that age to do the same thing under those circumstances, I probably would have, thinking I was doing something noble. I also voted for Jimmy Carter if you need further proof.

The thing that made me pro life was driving a friend to get an abortion, and yes, I loaned her some money for it. Driving her home I was freezing cold despite the Arizona summer, and I shook so hard I could hardly hold the steering wheel.

When I got home I threw up and sobbed all night. After begging God for forgiveness I never looked back. There was no question in my mind
