Emotional toll: A young mother tells of the devastating legacy of having seven abortions
Daily Mail (UK) ^ | 15th July 2008 | Alison Smith Squire

Posted on 07/14/2008 5:32:52 PM PDT by PotatoHeadMick

Among the throng of women who gather outside the school gates each day, Angela Simmons is every inch the archetypal middle-class mother, fussing over her seven-year-old son Ben and ferrying him between after-school clubs and play dates.

Certainly nobody would guess that the 39-year-old former estate agent is one of around 50 women each year in the UK to have notched up her seventh abortion.

Government statistics released this week show that record numbers of women are having two or more abortions - and those who do so are not, as might be expected, young teenagers who don't know any better.

Either they are so poor they can’t afford contraceptives or or too stupid. Maybe the latter.

'Yet everything - condoms, the Pill, the coil and even charting my temperature to avoid having sex during my fertile time - has let me down. The fact that I have been so fertile has been the bane of my life.'

No Angela, the fact you are a pathetic easy slut has pretty much everything to do with the fact you keep getting pregnant and then murder your unborn child.

After the fourth or fifth time, you’d think she knew what made her pregnant.

This is just ridiculous and I feel no pity for these women.

I read it. She is a dumb, lying. loose ho, that has been unable to stop herself from her sleazy ways.

No excuses. It took her seven abortions? Gimme a break.

Tragic ... . SEVEN abortions!

“But if Angela’s own childhood ordeal merits sympathy, it surely cannot justify her actions.

In the end, her own conscience is still clearly muddled. While insisting she has no regrets, she says: ‘I feel the most incredible shame over what I have done.’

At least she is able to see how selfish her actions must seem to those who are struggling to conceive at all: ‘I do feel guilty that I have had so many unwanted pregnancies when there are many women who can’t have children.’

Perhaps the only glimmer of hope on the horizon is her insistence that: ‘If I do ever get pregnant again, I would now not consider having an abortion. It is only now I can look back and see just how emotionally painful having them was.’

Others could be forgiven for suggesting that if she doesn’t want to have another child, she might consider taking greater care not to get pregnant in the first place.”

Still in denial.

TRAGIC.

Why can’t she just say no and keep her legs closed.

She’s looking for love in all the wrong ways. Half the time she’s only known the guy for a month or so. Physical satisfaction will not lead you to emotionally love. She’s insecure. She’s amoral and still in denial of how wrong her actions are. She feels “shame” about her abortions because others can’t conceive ... not about murdering her babies. She is terribly confused. Eventually she will be successful in committing suicide ... not now ... when she is older and “Ben” is grown. She’ll look back and compare “Ben” to all the other babies she murdered ... . Or she may come to terms with what she did and feel shame about having those abortions and find Christ. Only He can heal her emotionally. Emotionally speaking she is hemorrhaging.

Reminds me of the old joke that a quarter can be used as a birth control device. But the trick of it that the girl has to hold the coin between her knees, so that her legs stay together.

I think she really needs to find another hobby and stop being a slave to her popo.

I wonder if 7-year-old Ben is aware that his mum is a sociopath.

after that many abortions I’d be surprised that they could conceive.

It's natural to have total disdain for this woman. She is a walking tragedy and the story is not over yet. She hasn't learned a thing. It's too bad she doesn't have someone that can really talk to her about what she has done and what she is continuing to do wrong. I don't see a happy ending here ... . I doubt that her little boy will have a normal upbringing. He will figure out eventually that she is a mess and that will influence him in negative ways.

“MAMA” - Written by Jo Nuvark

Mama; Mama, don’t blame me for your blues.
I may be inconvenient, but it’s much too late to choose.
Listen with your heart, you’ll hear my still small voice.
Let me live I’ll be your life, your child not your choice.

Mama; Mama, give me time to work my charms.
When you see my face, you’ll know the place for me is in your arms.
I’m not lonely just alone and looking forward to
The way you’ll hold me Mama just like God is holding you.

Like a summer breeze and the morning dove,
We were chosen for each other by the Lord of love.
Agreeing with each breath and sigh in unison,
We’re two hearts beating rhythm as a single drum.

Mama; Mama, I’m yours by God’s design.
Your custom composition, a clipping from His vine.
Eternally He’s known our names for such a time as this.
Fashioned for each other’s needs to cherish, love and bless.

Mama; Mama, if it’s hard to understand,
Just look at this from heaven, then you’ll see God’s plan.
Let my smile dance with yours. Let our songs be one voice.
Mama; Oh Mama, make me your choice.

The end game is GLOBAL SOCIALISM.

Aside from pushing leftism in the schools and TV, you push DIVERSITY & MULTI-CULTURALISM PROPAGANDA.

You start by reducing the indigenous population via ABORTION, the pill, climate change scares and so on. Plus you flood the country with millions of people from undemocratic, unstable countries that breed like rabbits on Viagra. Those people through sheer numbers become the dominant population. They’re SOCIALISM DRONES for creating a new socialist state.

This is exactly what we’re seeing in the UK today.

She is neither. She is selfish and too lazy to use contraceptives.
