Hey sweetie .. how about taking personal responsibility ??
If you really didn't want to have more children .. there is also the snip snip option that you or your hubby could have had done
IUD setters Ping ;~)
10-1 says this story is a fabrication.
Moreover, they aren't even required to tell the patient why they won't provide the drug. Nor do they have to provide a list of alternative sources. I had asked the ob-gyn's receptionist if politics was the reason the doctor wouldn't prescribe Plan B for me. She refused to answer or offer any reason, no matter how much I pressed her. By the time I got on the phone with my internist's office and found that he would not fill a Plan B prescription either, I figured it was a waste of time to fight with the office staff. To this day, I don't know why my doctors wouldn't prescribe Plan B -- whether it was because of moral opposition to contraception or out of fear of political protesters or just because they preferred not to go there.>
Translation: This woman wants the government to force doctors, midwives, and pharmacists to violate their most closely held beliefs. She wants the government to use the threat of armed police action ( that IS what government law is) to violate the consciences of other so that she can have her whims fulfilled.
Not only was her decision to abort her child tragic, but the complete lack God in her marriage was as tragic. She apparantly places no more value in this intimate act of marriage than that of a cheap, anonymous sexual encounter. If she truely loved her husband, she would cherish the gift of life that God blessed them with. But no - there is no respect for God, no awareness that marriage between man and a women is a living sacrament, that marriage is a holy covenant, with life being the fruit of that bond. Nope, instead, its been reduced to "let's screw, and if I get knocked up, George Bush better not get in the way of my abortion". This cannot be a marriage that involves "true" love.
This one just takes your breath away.
Does she favor free speech rights for people other than abortion protesters?
Does she favor legal encumbrances for, say, firearms ownership?
Is she, perchance, a Democrat providing sappy content for a Democrat newspaper for use on a slow Sunday?
It kind of makes me angry. Everybody has some risk or another in their pregnancy.
I think we have the wrong victim here.
Neither did her husband it seems. He could have slapped on a condom in the heat of passion.
The conservative politics of the Bush administration forced me to have an abortion I didn't want.
Wrong answer. You had an abortion because you are a very selfish person. Your doctor doesn't prescribe the Plan B abortion pill? Maybe you go to this doctor because of the values his conservative religion instilled in him that make him a good doctor. Who knows? You had unprotected sex, you got pregnant. Instead of looking at the blessing that could have been to your family, you took the selfish,lazy way out and murdered your child. This had nothing to do with the Bush administration. This is your sorry attempt to lay the guilt that you feel at someone else's feet.
If you and your husband are in your forties and agree your family is complete, why didn't your husband have a vasectomy? The procedure is quick, relatively painless and virtually 100% effective. Above all it takes the worry out of when you manage to snag some rare couple time. Don't blame the conservatives or George Bush that you couldn't have the abortion pill.
So, which is it, Dana L?
Were you "forced" to do something you didn't want to do or were you a careless idiot?
I sense that you feel that your constitutional right to be a careless idiot without any consequences has been violated.
Also if she didn't want any more babies she could have had her tubes tied or asked her husmband to have a vasectomy
One of the herd of elephants in the living room: why is one classification of citizens - pregnant females - given a "Plan B" (not the after-the-fact drug) that involves killing someone who is inconvenient or difficult?
And why does she also believe that those who take the Hippocratic Oath, and affirm
"I will neither give a deadly drug to anybody who asked for it, nor will I make a suggestion to this effect. Similarly I will not give to a woman an abortive remedy. In purity and holiness I will guard my life and my art."should be coerced into going against that affirmation to serve her personal convenience in violence to their own integrity, thus making them accessories after the fact?
Speaking of politics, this administration's "politicization of religion" had nothing to do with the Hippocratic Oath, which, nevertheless, had to deal with those that wanted their physician to make their personal inconvenience go away.
She also resents not having the choice of an upscale Planned Parenthood where she doesn't have to rub shoulders with the sweaty unfortunate masses.
The selfishness of this amoral mindset is staggaring!
George Bush stole it.
Why Dana? If abortion is that hard why do you want people to be able to have them? Is this abortion for everyone but me?
