It was only later, when she discovered that she was pregnant (if even that portion of her fabricated story is true; liberals lie without conscience when they're promoting an agenda they believe is 'best for us all'), that she had any issues. Her issues took the usual liberal societal engineering lickspittlist's direction: blame someone else for her own error.
Backtracking her fundamental complaint and desire to bash conservatives and people of faith in general, she reasons that having Plan B available over the counter would have given her a way out of her too-late-to-avoid-it predicament, the predicament she falsely asserts she found herself in the moment her passion passed. But she is then trapped because she is advocating the use, routinely, of a hormone based medicine which is not to be used so lightly or so often, and that is the very reason the FDA is not releasing it for over the counter sales! This is how we may deduce this woman is dishonest and exploiting a notion she imagined in her efforts to blame someone else for her own failings.
Aside from that, look at the dead soul status of this creature who admits that she perceived the being inside her to be an alive BABY, yet she so freely slaughters him or her to fulfill her wants, killing with no conscience because the child is an inconvenience to her desires. Then she asserts that she had no choice because people of faith, conservatives, wouldn't allow her to have available for substance abuse a medication which she could have used to prevent killing her unborn CHILD by preventing the child come into existence. This woman practices the deepest forms of dishonesty.
Nice opinion post. The Washington Post never ceases to amaze me in the depths to which they are willing to descend.
IMHO, the article is made up BS. Look at the following question and answer from the "discussion" today:
[Langley, Va.: Do you plan on telling your kids about your abortion when they're older?
Dana L.: That depends on the needs of each child.]
"That depends on the needs of each child" - what kind of psychobabble bullsh*t is that? I interpret that as, if the kid is smart enough to find out, they will cross that bridge when they come to it, and make up more nonsense to weasel their way out of any repsonsibility.
For the sake of argument, if this story is true, how would you feel if you found out that a brother or sister was aborted/murdered by your parents, basically because it was inconvenient? And not only that, but your mother, b*tched, whined and moaned about the inconvenience of it all in a national newspaper for all the world to see. Don't you think it would make you question who they really are and the quality and depth of their love for you as their child?
