Did I miss the part about how she started at the crisis pregnancy center in the first place? I agree with what she says but I would have liked a bit more of her personal story. It would have made it more credible.

She talks about the male responsibility but that is
all taken away by abortion itself, a male has no way to
prevent a woman from aborting his baby, with the
exception of marriage and that too is up to the
woman. Yet if she decides to carry it to term,
then HE is held responsible. It should work both
ways.
Abortion should not be political, is murder political?

Men have benefited the most from abortion. This author makes a good point about that. Too bad the feminists are blinded to that aspect that they have empowered men and women have become sexual objects the opposit of what feminists intended.

I think this woman is pretty representative of many who have always said they were pro-choice. They find themselves unable to continue to hold that view when they get “up close and personal” to the abortion industry. They begin to see that the propaganda about how the baby is an “nonviable mass of tissue” and that abortion is a simple surgical procedure is an absolute lie that fails to address either the psychological and physiological effects an abortion has on a woman. I think the trial of Dr. Gosnell opened the eyes of many because he was so cavalier about killing babies who had survived a late-term abortion.

I determined that abortion does not actually benefit women.

Doesn't work wonders for the kid either.

Sexual liberation has made slaves out of women, it has only perpetuated and glorified their objectification.

I'm glad she's finally recognized this. It cannot be said enough: at-will legal abortion is a man's ultimate "sexism" against women.

But abortion ignores her femininity by demanding that a woman disregard her sex for the duration of the procedure.

So does contraception. That's why they go together. They both require that women accept that being female is a disorder.

I am glad she has awakened to the evil of abortion, but she really needs to work on her hatred of men.

It’s interesting that she’s looking for a different conversation, but anytime you suggest that abortion isn’t good for women, the pro-abortion folks start howling that you’re ‘anti-woman’. It will be hard to get that conversation past that point, but it would be a good idea.

I am a knuckle dragger with a libertarian bent so I originally didn’t care about abortion too much when I was younger. Our second child miscarried several years ago and I still get choked up. I just knew it was a girl and wanted daddy’s little girl so much. I would have given her the world. she will never play or feel the sun. I would trade my life for hers. How anyone can kill their child is beyond me,

>> the way the abortion debate is framed in our culture

No woman’s sense self-worth should be elevated by having the right to kill.

I'm sorry to inform you, Ma'am, that you CANNOT abort this child.

It seems you are, somehow, carrying a BALD EAGLE to term - not a human.




I'd like to thank the United States Government for protecting me and my kind.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You see, 40 years ago, my odds of making it out of the egg, alive, were very poor; about 80% of us died. 
 (http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=rachel-carson-silent-spring-1972-ddt-ban-birds-thrive)
 
 
But a lady discovered our plight and wrote a book that addressed our problem,
and, in 1972, a law was ammended protecting us even further. (http://www.fws.gov/midwest/eagle/protect/laws.html)
 
 
 
 
 
 
What I find strange is that the same government passed a law the very next year that allowed for killing
of unborn, and apparently unwanted, humans.  Little ones still nestled safely in their Mother's womb.
Around 25% of them are dying before birth - on average nearly 3,300 - every day of the year.
 
 
I hear that by now, somewhere around 55 MILLION of them have perished.
Wouldn't that kind of mess up the humans plans for growth, and welfare, and
retirement?
 
 
 
 
 
Strange birds; these Homo Sapiens.  Perhaps they'll come to their senses
before they are ALL dead!

“it’s certainly not something you profess publicly.”

This is the product of political “correctness” run amok. We have become a society where far too many people are afraid to speak up because of political and social pressure to conform. Those pressures used to be a force which encouraged people to live by high moral standards. Now they pressure people to give legitimacy and acceptance to things like abortion, which they know in their hearts to be wrong.
