A Super Ad To Counter Tebow: The Blessings Of Abortion

How about this for the ad:

I’m Louise and I’m 65 years old. I was young and innocent and only 20 years old when I accidentally got pregnant. I was too young to marry because I wanted to become a lawyer and I was still working on my Bachelor’s degree. That meant that I had at least six years of schooling still ahead of me and it would have been impossible for me to raise a child and go to school.

My boyfriend was pre-med and so he had 8 or 10 years of school, med school, internship and residency ahead of him. There was no way that he could put all that aside.

Our families were very supportive and encouraged us both to follow our dreams.

I completed law school and went on to become a partner in one of the most prestigeous law firms in the country. My boyfriend went on to become a well-known surgeon. I lost touch with him years ago.

I recently retired and I spend time at my large home in NYC and winters at my home in the South of France. I have cars at both homes and I can pretty much afford whatever I want. Of course I worked long hard hours to get where I am.

I have two nieces and three nephews. I send them gifts for Christmas and their birthdays. I haven’t really seen them much these last few years.

I was thinking of taking a cruise with a couple of lady lawyer friends I have, but I’m not sure I want to do that.

Children? No, I never had time for that, actually. By the time I reached my career goals there just weren’t any good men around, or I was too old for that (men all want young women, you know) and I really never wanted kids much anyway.

My health is good. I’ve planned ahead so that if I need care I can live well in an assisted care facility. They take good care of you, if you can afford a good one, I hear. My nieces and nephews will probably come and visit me once in a while.

It’s been a great life.

The End

Never happen. It’s well written, but the lonliness and emptiness screams out of it, even if the author doesn’t realize it. No way the pro-abortion crowd would run something like that.

Abortion is not about saving women’s lives!

Total Abortions since 1973

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)

The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions — California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.

Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)

· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing

· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby

· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child

· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)

· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career

· 7.9% of women want no (more) children

· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health

2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health

----------------------------------------------------------------------

So how many women’s lives have been saved by abortion?

Less than 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be “due to a risk to maternal health.” A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But let’s say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.

Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

Roe v Wade: FULL Text (The Decision that wiped out an entire Generation 33 years ago today)

Yeah, they could get that woman who wrote the article (for a major pub, but I can’t remember which one, might have been the NY Times, but I am really not sure) about how she “selectively reduced” her triplets to one child. Because she lived in a three story walk up (she definately lived in NYC, so living 3 flights up did not mean she was poor) and because she didn’t want to become the type of person who buys extra large jars of mayo at Costco.

She published this under her own name and got a lot of publicity about it. So I’m sure she’d have no problem going on national TV to discuss it further.

I for one would be interested to hear if she feels the same way now, as this was several years ago.
