"So, because women throughout the ages have sought to end the lives of their unborn children...it's cool?"
Interesting choice of words as I don't recall ever writing nor thinking that abortion was "cool".
"Pregnancy from rape and incest is in the low single digit percentile. That's another discussion topic for another time. Since this article is about abortion on demand, perhaps we should stay on subject."
I'm sorry where was this particular rule posted that the topic at hand was to deal only with abortions that were not the result of incest or rape?
I can understand your correcting me if perhaps I brought up a subject such as "Cats and Rats: A love-hate relationship". Seeing as though I am staying on the topic at hand which appears to be regarding abortion and why many of you posting here think the women who have made that particular decision are evil and must always feel a deep sense of shame for their actions.
I have never personally had an abortion and I hope that I never am in a position where I have to make that decision. I am, however, thankful that I live in a society that gives me a right to have control over my own body.
*****Interesting choice of words as I don't recall ever writing nor thinking that abortion was "cool".
You're right. You didn't use the word 'cool'. You made reference that abortion has been sought throughout the ages...as if it's nothing new, so what's the deal?
*****I'm sorry where was this particular rule posted that the topic at hand was to deal only with abortions that were not the result of incest or rape?
The majority of abortions are 'on demand'. That is what the article is referring to. Perhaps you'd like to stay on subject?
*****why many of you posting here think the women who have made that particular decision are evil and must always feel a deep sense of shame for their actions.
I never said they were evil, feanorah. I *was* a post abortion counselor though and have seen/known/helped a great number of women with post abortion issues.
*****I have never personally had an abortion and I hope that I never am in a position where I have to make that decision. I am, however, thankful that I live in a society that gives me a right to have control over my own body.
I'm thankful you haven't been in that situation. Truly, I am. Praytell feanorah...does the pre-born child have a say in the matter? Seek your heart of hearts on this...don't turn away from the reality.
Just curious...what brought you to Free Republic?

You have the right to abstain from sex. When one talks about "control" over your own body, you are actually talking about ending your child's life.
