You know what I think would be money well spent by pro-lifers? Opening crisis pregnancy centers in the immediate vicinity of abortion mills.

You are 100% correct. These women are upset, confused, hearing mixed messages from the feminists, the media, and possibly their families, and husband or boyfriend. I know, I've been there. What these women and girls need is kindness and support from pro-life groups, not condemnation. The people from the abortion clinics are not ogres, and they come off caring, and this often fools women into thinking they are doing the right thing. Especially if the pro-life people outside are yelling "slut and murderer" at them. That is the WRONG tactic. Be kind to them, listen to them--and talk them out of the abortion with love, not hate.

Also, women surivors of abortion need support--so that they don't become repeat offenders or pass this behavior on to their living children. I feel very strongly about this. That's why I hate the attitude of just condemning women who've had abortions. There are millions of us, millions of victims of the lies of the abortion industry. We who have been victimized by the abortion industry can be the strongest advocates for life; we who have made the ultimate mistake. Women and girls might listen more carefully to us, than to people who haven't been through the horror. Thanks for letting me vent.

Rant on, my friend, rant on! I kept the silence for ten long years--not in support of a pro-choice stance, but out of fear from the inevitable slings and arrows of pro-lifers. Wasted years. What we have to say about abortion is far more likely to sway the undecided toward a pro-life way of thinking, far more than some (cough, cough) screaming "Murderess!" And I'm not saying that the shoe doesn't fit. I have done a terrible thing that cannot be undone, period. I'll put up with the name calling when it comes, as long as it is directed at me. And then I'll quickly point out to the name-caller that they are doing far more harm than good.

Thanks for letting ME vent!

DOH! Where have you two been? This has already been done in just about every large, medium, and small-sized city in America.

You never heard of Birthright? Pregnancy Care Center? Christian Life Center? Mom's House?

etc. etc. etc. etc.
