I would respectfully disagree. I have personally known a few young women who have had ONE abortion after an unplanned pregnancy. They were not tramps nor were they the types that look for bad boys. They were deeply in love with someone and thought the guy felt the same. In some cases they were right and in some they were wrong. In the cases where they were right the decision is often made because they are convinced they can not tell their parents they are pregnant even if the young man is willing and ready to marry them. They feel the an abortion will take care of the problem and everything will go back to the way it was. Those who are wrong about the guy usually feel depressed, betrayed and that they have no alternative. In both cases when they go to the “Women’s Health Center” they are told an abortion fixes everything. This is how PPH makes their money. These are for the most part nice young women who made a mistake and then compound it by making a much bigger one. A lot of these young women end up with just the problems mentioned in this article. Very few relationships, even the most loving ones, survive an abortion. Regardless of how much they love each other if the couple makes it a year they are beating the odds. The crap the PPH sells to young women at taxpayer expense is a crime and you only hope that someday they will get their just “rewards” for all the loss, pain and suffering they have caused.
I am not saying that your scenario does not exist, it does. I am just asking you not to paint every women who gets an abortion with such a wide brush. Often times on FR people take a real holier than thou attitude on these threads. I would hope for a little more understanding and compassion. Every story is different.
I never said they were tramps. Reread my post. I stand by what I wrote. (and note I didn’t say all or everyone).
Young women who have unprotected sex with a man they are not ready to have children with (and who they know ALSO is ready and willing ot have children)may be nice as all get out, but they are not using their heads. We can feel sorry for them (I do) but I’m not going to excuse their behavior, because it has consequences beyond themselves. And I’m not going to blame PPH for the woman’s decision. They are not dragged in there off the street.
I have plenty of compassion and understanding,but making excuses for people’s bad decisions isn’t compassion. It’s enabling. I save the greatest part of my compassion for the babies who are the totally innocent victims. Everyone else in the scenario had the ability to make a decision.
