Pro Life Ping!
After two losses, this man deserves full credit. Prayers for his recovery.
Sadly, 7 out of ten women who have abortions say they are Christians. Of those, a significant number of them describe themselves as evangelical. I pray they find stronger connections with other Christian women who can help them avoid premarital sex and other actions God would not approve.

I am at a loss for words, it's so sad her life ended that way, but i'm not about to be an armchair quarterback now.
I'm glad the father is helping other woman out though.
Parents need to tell their kids if their gonna fool around, dang it, at least go on birth control or use rubbers. There is nothing wrong with prevention, but if you fuc* up, at least have the kid and let someone else bring them up if you don't want them.
I feel bad for this man. Parents MUST discuss pregnancy with their daughters and re-assure them that they will support them NO MATTER WHAT. Now, this woman was an adult, not a child, and there may have been other problems, but I've known adult women whose own mothers advised them to get abortions. You know what, no matter how hard things would have been, those children would be adults by now, and in all likelihood would have brought their mothers, AND GRANDMOTHERS much joy.
Abotion is killing, it is evil, it is to be warned against in advance. Being pregnant, unplanned, is enough to make any woman panic. They need to be re-assured BEFORE they are "in trouble" as the old saying has it.
What a brave man to step up and do something so wonderful amidst this terrible tragedy for his whole family. My prayers are with them all.
What a heart breaker for a father. But he is turning something that could have been disastorous for him into something good.
(Don't you wish Cindy Sheehan knew that lesson?)sarcasm
Although most who have abortions do not consider suicide, they do spend their lives living with the guilt and/or mourning the loss of the child.
Aahh--nice fuzzies for women who choose abortion to make themselves feel better about it. Isn't that special?
It's HER body!!
She HAD a CHOICE!!
If she wanted to remove that useless tissue; let her: it's her body.
If she wanted to remove that left hand; let her: it's her body.
If she wanted to remove that crummy life; let her: it's her body.
CHOICE is GRAND; ain't it!!!!
If she had never told her father about her pregnancy and abortion, what makes the father think that was the cause of her suicide? There are probably a lot of other things about her life he didn't know.
I highly recommend:

Twenty eight percent attempt suicide after an abortion? I don't believe this statistic.
http://www.stacyzallie.org/ -- a visit to this website might answer questions some might have.
why would abortion be any different from any of the other number of temptations we ALL have, every day of our lives?
God hates hands that shed innocent blood -- but He also hates liars! oops.
The headline made me think a very young girl, like 14 or 15 had snuck off and gotten an abortion without a parent being notfiied. Then I read the story and discovered she was 20. Still young and tragic, but hardly the age where she should need "permission."
"Dr. David Reardon, a post-abortion specialist and researcher, has collected extensive documentation on the effects of abortion. According to statistics, teenage girls are 10 times more likely to attempt suicide after abortion. 60 percent of women consider suicide and 28 percent attempt it after abortion."
Freepers don't accept "according to statistics" when liberals try to use it that way. Show me the hard stats.
