[TASMANIANRED]

"It's time to speak honestly about the pain we've lived with. Abortion hurts and it is a much harder choice to live with after the fact than adoption or child rearing. I know because I have lived with all three. "

The first "choice" should be to learn to say no and then keep your knees closed.

[Triple Word Score]

Most of those who choose abortion do so because they have been coerced or tricked or otherwise misled into believing it's the best thing. A few do it because they were raped and in the aftermath of rape they cannot deal emotionally with the pregnancy too.

Very few do it knowing what they're really doing. Truly this is one of those times when Jesus's words on the cross really apply. They know not what they do. That's what regret is--learning better.

There are a very few occasions where it is done out of medical necessity; when it is done for convenience, it is almost always because someone has lied to a girl or young woman about what actually is going to happen to her.

"Keep your knees closed" works fine when you have some control over the matter...sometimes young women do not have that control.
