Susan Yolen, vice president for public affairs of Planned Parenthood of Connecticut, agrees that publicizing these stories is the best inoculation against the shame many women feel about having had abortions.

This is apparently the Left's answer to the Silent No More campaign. I personally know some women like the ones in the article--people who are proud of killing their own offspring. I think that if they are matched against those who feel remorse (and especially against those who did choose life), our side will come out on top every time.

A lot of "me and I's" in their stories.

"When I broke my leg I had to announce what surgeries I'd had and I wrote them all down. If someone wants to think I'm a sinful bitch, I don't give a damn," she said.

About what you would expect from a woman who has murdered three of her own children. Is there anything more shameful?

These women are selfish animals. As my wise old dad always said, "When you indulge you Bulge." Unless you are willing to kill your child.
Nothing a little 4D ultrasound won't cure.

The culture of death marches on. Hey if abortion is no different than having a tooth pulled than how come people are not secretive about having teeth pulled? The fact is that people who have abortions are not proud of it in most cases.

I don't know any women like the ones in the article. I know women who were forced into an abortion by parents, boyfriends or husbands. They didn't have any "choice", and they regret the abortions every day of their lives.

I resent the left's usage of the terms "pro choice, and reproductive rights, because both terms are intentionally misleading. A woman had the right to choose whether or not to get pregnant. A woman has the right to reproduce.

Sorry, the first story was enough for me. Some people are just sick.

"" If someone wants to think I'm a sinful bitch, I don't give a damn," she said. ""


What can you say about someone who thinks like this. Very sad. Her life must be very bleak and dark.

We all had this common experience, but we never felt we could share it even with the people we were closest to.

If they thought abortion was perfectly okay, why were they ever ashamed?

If the tone of these women comes through in the pro-abortion documentary, the overall effect may be good for unborn children and the pro-life movement.

"Abortion is certainly an important way of freeing the world of an unwanted human being,"

What amazes me is that these same women are probably protesting Iraq because "violence is not the answer". This is one of the most vile things I've ever heard from a human being.

When will women realize that abortion isn't actually a good "right" for them to have (that is, if you consider it a right at all)?

I believe abortion gives the OK for men and women to participate in inappropriate behavior, which could mean anything from rape to unprotected sex without thought of consequence, because there is an "out". In their intellectual circles, they'd probably never admit this "out", but they know it exists. I believe women's "rights" are advanced when they realize they can control their behavior BEFORE something regretable happens.

Its sad, really. And oh - my favorite part of the article: that abortion is just peachy keen in Europe. Yes, those Europeans are so much more enlightened and intelligent than us caveman Americans. Whatever.

When I asked if that made her pro-choice, she said, "You don't ever ask an intelligent person that question, do you?

What an elitist statement! I feel ill after reading this, and I couldn't even finish it. If these women's lives would have been so horribly disrupted by having a child, there is always adoption!

It doesn't sound to me like any of them are really "glad" they had abortions. Did you notice that almost all of them said they didn't remember much about the procedure? This is truly horrifying.

You probably raised your risk for breast cancer too.

Did anyone else notice the common themes throughout these stories?

- Multiple marriages
- Multiple divorces
- Multiple abortions

Huh.

Shame is the way your heart tells the brain that you did something wrong.

"If someone wants to think I'm a sinful bitch, I don't give a damn," (Jennifer Baumgardner's mother-in-law) said.

It's quite obvious you don't give a damn; you murdered three of your children and now you and your daughter are bragging about it.

"I have no regrets," she says. "One of the reasons I was not going to have a child was the memory of my mother, who gave up her very intelligent life to raise three children. I was not willing to give up my life to have children."

I'm sorry that her mother had to give up "a very intelligent life" to raise this immoral selfish bitch.

Still, she feels grateful. Her life would have turned out vastly different if she'd become a mother at 19. "I probably would have ended up living at home with the baby and not fulfilling any of my dreams or goals," she said. "Or worse, I would have ended up in a homeless shelter. It wouldn't have been fair to me or the child."

Pardon me while I vomit uncontrollably.
