A pro-abortion activist writing at one of the leading pro-abortion web sites is admitting what many the pro-life movement has always known but what leading defenders of abortion refuse to admit. Until now. Jessica DelBalzo, an activist writer from Flemington, New Jersey who has written for numerous progressive web sites, puts her extreme pro-abortion views on display at RH Reality Check, where she candidly admits in a headline, “I Love Abortion: Implying Otherwise Accomplishes Nothing for Women’s Rights.” “I love abortion. I don’t accept it. I don’t view it as a necessary evil. I embrace it. I donate to abortion funds. I write about how important it is to make sure that every woman has access to safe, legal abortion services. I have bumper stickers and buttons and t-shirts proclaiming my support for reproductive freedom. I love abortion,” DelBalzo declares.
The pro-abortion activist categorically opposes even the “safe, legal and rare” mantra that pro-abortion politicians like Bill Clinton have used to appear to be more moderate or mainstream on abortion and that even former NARAL president Kate Michelman used to make her organizations position appear less polemic. As Delbalzo writes, “And I bristle every time a fellow activist uses a trendy catch-phrase or rallying cry meant to placate pro-lifers. The first of these, “Make abortion safe, legal, and rare!” has been used for decades as a call for abortion rights.” “Safe and legal are concepts I fully support, but rare is something I cannot abide. I understand the theoretical mindset: it is better for a woman to prevent an unwanted pregnancy than to bear the physical and financial burden of an abortion. While my own abortion involved very little pain and a minimal financial expense, one which my ex-boyfriend was willing to share with me, even I can admit that using condoms or the pill is preferable to eight weeks of nausea and weight gain,” she writes. “However, there is no need to suggest that abortion be rare. To say so implies a value judgement, promoting the idea that abortion is somehow distasteful or immoral and should be avoided. Even with affordable, accessible birth control, there will be user errors, condoms that break, moments of spontaneity. The best contraceptive access in the world won’t change the fact that we are merely human and imperfect in our routines.” She also admits: “Similarly, I’ve heard reproductive rights activists claim that “no one likes abortion,” in an attempt to find common ground with anti-choicers. While it may be true that no one likes the physical act of having an abortion (any more than she may like her yearly mammogram, life-saving chemotherapy, or temporarily uncomfortable dental surgery), a great many women like abortion itself.” With CNN and Gallup polls showing a majority of Americans want all or most abortions made illegal, this puts the pro-abortion activist in a tiny minority of Americans who want abortion legal throughout pregnancy for any reason without apology.
What does abortion have to do with reproductive freedom? Once you are in the condition where you would need an abortion (i.e. pregnant), the reproduction is over. After that it's growth and development or death.
it is my belief that these aborted babies are in heaven and I hope they are the ones to tell the baby killers they are headed to the lake of fire.

Mine too!
I wonder if her mother is proud of her.
An aside here, I have a friend whose mother told her that she wish she had aborted her. (Her father wanted her to keep the baby though, so she did.) This beautiful young lady has gone through terrible emotional pain because of her mother’s thoughtless revelation, and yet, she was able to forgive her mother. My friend is now a wonderful giving mother to two adorable children herself. What a loss it would be had her mother gone through with her own selfish desires!

How old are you? 10? This forum is for adults
Newbie. Maybe a troll?
Probably.
It was such a stupid post and it was responding to something that wasn’t funny.
*sigh*
Most people I know on this forum, lurk for a while before signing up. When they sign up they are still silent for a while and then when they speak up they try to sound intelligent. I am often suspicious of people that sign up and start posting or spouting off shortly thereafter.
Yeah most of the time that’s true. I have to admit though, when I signed up I started posting almost immediately. Thought I had found heaven for awhile lol! I did read the FR rules and such first, but it said ‘jump right in’ ...so I did.
But you’re right to be skeptical after a stupid post like that and I’m with you.
The pics I’ve seen are Nazi-esque.
This sadistic slore clearly is mentally unstable.
From her account:
Once things began to deteriorate between their father and I, I knew without a doubt that any future pregnancy we faced would be terminated
In October of last year, I made good on that promise to myself.
So things were crappy in her marriage. She's sleeping with a man she no longer loves. Not using birth control or using it effectively and premeditates to abort any life that occurs. And the poor idiot that impregnated her has no say in the matter.
This deranged servant of the Evil One is attempting to justify her own act of murdering her child, which she financed with her willing accomplice "ex-boyfriend".
May God grant them both the grace of repentance and conversion.
