Are liberal women really proud to have abortions?
American Thinker ^ | 10/2/15 | Ed Straker

Taking a nod from the gay pride movement, abortionists are calling on women to celebrate their abortion experiences on Twitter with the hashtag #ShoutYourAbortion. Really.

The goal, according to Amelia Bonow, 30, who posted on Facebook on Sept. 19 that she had had an abortion at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Seattle last year, was to encourage women who had kept their abortions secret to speak up. “A shout is not a celebration or a value judgment; it’s the opposite of a whisper, of silence,” Ms. Bonow said in an interview. “Even women who support abortion rights have been silent, and told they were supposed to feel bad about having an abortion.”

For good reason. An abortion is the ending of a life.

Above is Lindy West, one of the creators of #ShoutYourAbortion.

“The problem for a long time was that this stigma felt like a negative cloud,” said Kate Cockrill, the executive director of Sea Change, a nonprofit organization she helped found two years ago to attack the stigma.

They remind me of the soldiers who never saw actual combat but brag of the killing they have done.

It has always been my contention that the biggest supporters of Abortion are those who have had abortions or that encouraged someone to have an abortion.

They are having trouble dealing with the guilt, and lash out at pro lifers in desperation.

To admit that abortion is murder, would be to admit that THEY are murderers. That's why they fight so hard.

They are not fighting for “womens rights” they are fighting their own conscience.

I once worked with a lesbian activist who would get irate and go almost postal if someone disagreed with her.

Ends up she was raised very religious and was not really a lesbian. But the self validating community made her one of their own and she felt that she could believe it herself if, and only if she could convince others that her lifestyle was ok.

In the culture of death it is a kind of sacrament.

Yes, these devotees are proud of what they have done.

“They are not fighting for “womens rights” they are fighting their own conscience.”

I totally agree.

“Yes, these devotees are proud of what they have done.”

On the surface, yes I agree. However, the human soul knows right from wrong. No wonder they are so angry. I would be too if I had killed someone purposely and had to live with it.

If liberal women were half as smart as they think they are, they wouldn't be getting pregnant in the first place (considering all the free birth control).

Or they are forcing the not-so-smart ones to not procreate and propagate their ignorance (stupidity)?...

You're way more tactful than I, I usually ask how does it feel to end a life that was dependent on you.

She has the same expression of a serial killer. Dead eyes. No smile and no joy no glow. Dead.

Dead on correct. The rabid women abortion right types, always turn out to have had an abortion and something they repeat over, and over, and over, is "its not a baby", "its not a person".

Excellent post.

They are looking for “camaraderie” in abortion in an attempt to soothe their own souls.

I feel the term Proud Murderers can apply to a wide range of leftist beliefs or just leftists in general but it’s particularly apt in this instance.

Well, there are some liberal men who are proud of stuffing their member up another man’s rectal cavity . . . so I reckon “pride” is a cheap commodity these days.

IMHO, these women are “shouting out” that their abortion was okay simply to coerce/recommend other women to do the same. There must be some sort of “comfort” of their conscience thinking about ALL the other women-thus making it “okay”. Sort of a safety in numbers thing... the more that did this.. the better it makes them feel (or they think it makes them feel). Reminds me of a neighbor who was caught cheating on his wife.. his defense was he “only cheated the once and not like Bob who cheats all the time”. It lessened his “guilt” or so he thought.

When the invading army seizes young kids, to seal the conversion, they are told to kill friends and family if possible or commit other atrocities against their former people.
Then they can’t go back, and they become the strongest cheerleaders of the new group to prevent guilt for the actions.

Someone who had an abortion cheerleading it to avoid feeling guilt is the same - so they don’t have to feel bad about killing their kid.
