Slavery is always wrong;

Rape is always wrong;

Murder is always wrong.

Now, tell me, please, how does killing a completely innocent and defenseless being not qualify as murder?

What are these women going to tell God after they die? That they willingly killed one of his babies, and they actually think that the Almighty is gong to be OK with that?

The University needs to invite these women next.

The problem with such a meeting is that they dare not talk about the problems associated with abortion. Where were the women who had depression after their abortion? Where were the women that had complications afterwards? Where were the women that decided to adopt their babies out? I am not arguing that abortion should be illegal. I am just arguing that putting a postive spin on a very heinous act is quite disturbing.

[Pessimist]

Notice how they take pains to try to tie abortion to civil rights. Underlying message: "We women (who can't say no)are victims too".

[Antoninus]

I wonder if they mentioned this:

Here is Margaret Sanger's account of her trip to talk to the Ku Klux Klan from pages 366-367 of Margaret Sanger An Autobiography (1971 reprint by Dover Publications, Inc. of the 1938 original published by W.W. Norton & Company).

All the world over, in Penang and Skagway, in El Paso and Helsingfors, I have found women's psychology in the matter of childbearing essentially the same, no matter what the class, religion, or economic status. Always to me any aroused group was a good group, and therefore I accepted an invitation to talk to the women's branch of the Ku Klux Klan at Silver Lake, New Jersey, one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing.

My letter of instruction told me what train to take, to walk from the station two blocks straight ahead, then two to the left. I would see a sedan parked in front of a restaurant. If I wished I could have ten minutes for a cup of coffee or bite to eat, because no supper would be served later.

I obeyed orders implicitly, walked the blocks, saw the car, found the restaurant, went in and ordered some cocoa, stayed my allotted ten minutes, then approached the car hesitatingly and spoke to the driver. I received no reply. She might have been totally deaf as far as I was 1 concerned. Mustering up my courage, I climbed in and settled back. Without a turn of the head, a smile, or a word to let me know I was right, she stepped on the self-starter. For fifteen minutes we wound around the streets. It must have been towards six in the afternoon. We took this lonely lane and that through the woods, and an hour later pulled up in a vacant space near a body of water beside a large, unpainted, barnish building.

My driver got out, talked with several other women, then said to me severely, "Wait here. We will come for you." She disappeared. More cars buzzed up the dusty road into the parking place. Occasionally men dropped wives who walked hurriedly and silently within. This went on mystically until night closed down and I was alone in the dark. A few gleams came through chinks in the window curtains. Even though it was May, I grew chillier and chillier.

After three hours I was summoned at last and entered a bright corridor filled with wraps. As someone came out of the hall I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses. I waited another twenty minutes. It was warmer and I did not mind so much. Eventually the lights were switched on, the audience seated itself, and I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak.

Never before had I looked into a sea of faces like these. I was sure that if I uttered one word, such as abortion, outside the usual vocabulary of these women they would go off into hysteria. And so my address that night had to be in the most elementary terms, as though I were trying to make children understand.

In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. The conversation went on and on, and when we were finally through it was too late to return to New York. Under a curfew law everything in Silver Lake shut at nine o'clock. I could not even send a telegram to let my family know whether I had been thrown in the river or was being held incommunicado. It was nearly one before I reached Trenton, and I spent the night in a hotel.

*sigh* I'm a UConn alumna.

The Womens' Center on campus is full of psycho feminazis. About 6 years ago when I was a student, they sold chocolates in the shape of male genitalia as a fund-raiser for some abortion clinic. Really, they're wackos.

"If we don't talk about it, it's still going to be a social stigma."

It will always be a moral stigma.

[AbeKrieger]

These swine never talk about reduction of abortions, just how to mainstream their acceptance. If just 25% of the dollars spent lobbying for abortion rights were used on abstinence education, we would not be dealing with this crisis today.

But for these b!tches, it's all about some "right" ... and their perspective seems to be that every live birth is an abortion opportunity wasted.

CHOICE should end when you CHOOSE to spread your legs indiscriminately.

[Gay State Conservative]

Wasn't there a male comedian who recently said during his routine something like "hey,the best place for a guy to find some action is at an abortion clinic because you know that the women there all like to f**k"

A woman named Robin Ringletta-Kottkin, who grew up in a strict Catholic household with anti-abortion beliefs, had to ultimately choose to have the procedure after an adoption agency informed her that they would not accept a bi-racial baby . . .

Oh, this one is TOO PC perfect! I wonder if any of it is true: the Catholic family part, the adoption agency part, the bi-racial baby part, even the abortion itself???

[Abathar]

"A woman named Robin Ringletta-Kottkin, who grew up in a strict Catholic household with anti-abortion beliefs, had to ultimately choose to have the procedure after an adoption agency informed her that they would not accept a bi-racial baby, since the father of the child was black."

My BS meter just got pegged when I read this line right here, she is so full of $%!T her eyes are brown.

I guess whatever you have to tell yourself to get to sleep at night.

Here's a game called Name That Pro-Abort Stereotype. C'mon everyone, play along!

A woman named Robin Ringletta-Kottkin, who grew up in a strict Catholic household with anti-abortion beliefs, Thus begins the woeful story of another repressed woman, who had the misfortune of being born into an evil Catholic family had to ultimately choose to have the procedure after an adoption agency informed her that they would not accept a bi-racial baby, since the father of the child was black. If she "had" to "choose", there was no choice -- please ignore any logic that would lead you to ask "why not go to another agency?". Bonus points here, since we get Catholic and racist in the same sentence. While still in college and with no way to care for and support the child, it was then that she realized society had valued some children over others, which led to her decision. More liberal logic: our "terrible" society values some kids more than others; therefore, I shall kill my own child to prove that I value all children. Ringletta-Kottkin discussed the day of her abortion and the protesters she had to face outside the clinic. It wasn't until inside with the female physician that she felt comfortable about what she was doing. Translation: sadly, abortion went against my instincts, but the person I was paying to do the deed repeatedly told me it was a good thing. All women need to feel comfortable about killing their babies.

Florence Rice who had an illegal abortion performed to her at the age of 16 in 1938.... informing her parents of the abortion, to which her mother inflicted much guilt onto Egan.

Nice use of prepositions. I imagine this was written by journalism students.

You figure these people out. I can't.
