FAMILY MATTERS
Petitioning for Life "I had an abortion," Ms. Magazine urges its readers to declare. How about "I wasn't aborted"?
The Web site of Ms. Magazine--yes, it still exists--is calling on readers to sign a petition: "I have had an abortion. I publicly join the millions of women in the United States who have had an abortion in demanding a repeal of laws that restrict women's reproductive freedom."
Well, so much for the right to privacy. If Ms. readers hadn't had so many abortions, there might be more Ms. readers. As for the rest of us, here's a petition we could all sign: "I wasn't aborted."
Having narrowly escaped being aborted, I'd be the first in line.
Like most Soviet-era fetuses conceived in Russia by couples who were already parents, I was scheduled for abortion as a matter of course. In a society where abortion was the only form of birth control, it wasn't uncommon to meet women who had double-digit abortion counts. Often a couple would schedule the appointment before they even stopped to remember that they wanted a second child.
My husband, also a second-born, and I were lucky to have been two such afterthoughts, each brought into the world thanks to one of two parents' change of heart. (Actually it was Anya Isaakovna, my mother's usual at the public clinic, who sensed a tinge of reservation and kicked her out.) Coincidentally, both my husband and I were to be the third abortions, each of us having had two siblings who weren't so lucky, which unfortunately was lucky for us.

Unfortunately, the motto "My mother had an abortion" is not an option.
I had an abortion and all I got were these lousy health problems for the rest of my life.
They can reprint this abortion story if they want.

"I had an abortion and all I got were these lousy health problems for the rest of my life."
Sorry to hear that.
Planned Parenthood has repeatedly indicated there are no adverse health implications for the mother. We all know they are concerned for the mother and not for the profit side of this business.
How about: "I just KILLED my baby!" ?
The tagline: Have You Had an Abortion Today??
Hey, it could happen
Unfortunately, the choice of the word "mother" is disturbingly ironic.
"Unfortunately, the choice of the word "mother" is disturbingly ironic."
I'm not pointing this at the person I was replying to. If a woman loses a baby naturally she is still referred to as a mother. I kinda figure that even if she succumbs to the propaganda she is still a mother. Those women that I know who have been through this have all felt a high level of pain and guilt after the 'procedure'.
If Democrat voters hadn't had so many abortions, there might be more Democrat voters.
Just great! Now I'm conflicted...
that sounds like the argument a year back about the number of criminals. If abortions were not legal WE WOULD HAVE SO MANY MORE CRIMINALS.
Perverted logic.

While they're at it, they might as well get signatures from Susan Smith and Paula Yates.
Ooh, here's another Coke tagline they could steal: "Always death."
Then, while "Cel-e-brate your times, come on!" is playing, the right frame shows this.
Gauche? Or the truth?
I don't think Planned UnParenthood would run that commercial...
