Offering Abortion, Rebirth (Abortion... this article says it all.... without knowing it.)
LA times ^ | 11/29/05 | Stephanie Simon

Posted on 11/29/2005 12:20:26 PM PST by Dick Vomer

Dr. William F. Harrison has forgotten how many children the woman had.

"We try to make sure she doesn't ever feel guilty," he says, "for what she feels she has to do."

"It was a lot easier than I thought it would be," she says. "I thought it would be horrible, but it wasn't. The procedure, that is."

.... She is not yet sure, she says, how she is doing emotionally. She feels guilty, sad and relieved, all in a jumble.

"There's things wrong with abortion," she says. "But I want to have a good life. And provide a good life for my child." To keep this baby now, she says, when she's single, broke and about to start college, "would be unfair." ...........

..............

For the few women who arrive ambivalent ..., Harrison's nurse has posted statistics on the exam-room mirror: One out of every four pregnant women in the U.S. chooses abortion. A third of all women in this country will have at least one abortion by the time they're 45. ...........

.............. "You think there's room in hell for all those women?" the nurse will ask............

.............. She regrets having to pay $750 for the abortion, but Amanda says she does not doubt her decision. "It's not like it's illegal. It's not like I'm doing anything wrong," she says............

..............

"I've been praying a lot and that's been a real source of strength for me. I really believe God has a plan for us all. I have a choice, and that's part of my plan."

...........

.............. The last patient of the day, a 32-year-old college student named Stephanie, has had four abortions in the last 12 years. She keeps forgetting to take her birth control pills. Abortion "is a bummer," she says, "but no big stress." ...........

..............

I'm just shaking my head as I read this article.... wow. It was just sad... there are so many comments both sarcastic and angry that I could make, but in the end I could only post this and ask, "why are they 'justifying' what they are doing?"... by trying to even use "God" as a means of "choice". I didn't know 1/3 of all women had abortions. or that 1/4 of pregnancies were aborted.

You learn something new everyday.

maybe these are the "end times"... not that I'd know, but it sure seems that up is down, good is bad, and right is wrong....

Part of God's plan: Free Will.

Downside to Free Will: If you make bad choices, you can wind up in Hell.

Your handbasket will be mailed to you shortly.

Harrison glances at an ultrasound screen frozen with an image of the fetus taken moments before. Against the fuzzy black-and-white screen, he sees the curve of a head, the bend of an elbow, the ball of a fist.

"You may feel some cramping while we suction everything out," Harrison tells the patient.

Sick, sick, sick bastard. And the nitwit who went in for the procedure.

We, who are infertile, would have been delighted to provide a good life for her child if she hadn't killed it. We are struggling through an international adoption right now.

Oh, I get it. If we ALL do it, then it's not wrong.

That argument didn't work for slavery, or segregation, and it doesn't work for abortion.

And to answer your question, ma'am, there is enough room in hell for everyone who doesn't seek forgiveness.

This is so horrific that I was unable to read the whole thing. This man has no conscience and all you can do is pray for someone like this. Proud of 20,000? This is so disgusting and sad that I don't know what to say.

I hope more of these types of articles are written. The girl who's had 4 in 12 years should be SHOT! And the girl who says she prayed before the abortion?? HOW? That's what I'd like to know.

I do not like to judge, but the woman who's had 4 has a special place.....

"You think there's room in hell for all those women?" the nurse will ask.

I've contemplated before what motivates Satan. He was the brightest among God's Heavenly Hosts who got too big for himself and rebelled. He was cast down. Why does he now care whether or not mankind?

My own thought is the thought expressed by this nurse. Perhaps Satan thought he could get himself a pardon on the coattails of man. If God loved this man-creation so much and He is a just God then whatever failings He overlooks in man, He can overlook in the fallen angels. Surely a just God couldn't condemn EVERYONE!

Of course we now know that God is infinitely just and infinitely merciful at the same time. He offered Himself in sacrifice for His family. Now all who truly want to be part of the Family of God can be.

Satan was thwarted again because he thought he could force God to play a weak hand... only to find out that God eternally holds all the aces.

I didn't know 1/3 of all women had abortions. or that 1/4 of pregnancies were aborted.

I would be very skeptical of this number, especially the first one. Just because the total number of abortions may add up to 1/3 the female population, doesn't mean that 1/3 of them have had an abortion. I'm willing to bet that there are multiple abortions on a single female thrown in there.

Also, I'm skeptical of the numbers, simply becasue of the gist of the piece and the source. Take it with a grain of salt, until something a bit more reputable comes along.

God must be seething to witness so many of his babies murdered. Surely heaven must be overflowing. When will this madness end?
