Isn't that Christian of you. I had an abortion when I was 20. Do I regret it? To be honest, I don't really know. Would you like to see me die a slow, painful death now?

No one wants to see you die a slow, painful death. No one ought to have wanted your baby sliced, diced and rendered into hamburger either. If you do not regret (repent) that abortion, you have a long way to go and cancer may be the least of your worries. Death comes for us all at some point between conception and old age, varying greatly by individual case. Eternity also comes for us all sooner or later. The preparation each of us makes for eternity is more important than any transitory and temporary concern.

Compassion sometimes commands a high premium on FR. A lot of people here either can't or won't pay up.

Hildy,

I really don't think what anyone thinks or says over the internet is going to have any real effect on your future health, do you? The fact that you are acting so updity makes me think that you are not at peace with your decision. Why don't you get that settled before you start whinning to strangers. If you don't know if abortion is right, then how can you fault anyone for saying "mean words" that really will not change anything for you personally in the long run. Where is your sense of proportion? BTW, could you tell me why you thought it necessary to tell us about this incident in your past?

Also, most rational thinkers see a cause and effect in life in general. We, as a people take comfort in the knowledge that when we are a wronged by our fellow man, and that person is not called to account, that ultimate justice will somehow get its way on our behalf. I'm sure that most on this board see women as victims of the abortion industry that misleads people for profit while hissing at anyone who dares to contradict their mantras about "safe and available family planning" and it's refreshing to see that the tide is turning on this topic.
