    You will regret your abortion.

    Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, and then for the rest of your life.

    I think you might have a misimpression about how women feel when they get an abortion.

    No woman likes the idea, at least none I've heard of. I think that's a pro life myth meant to demonize women who have abortions.

    I think there are only varying degrees of bad feeling.

    I disagree. There is a price one must pay when one takes a human life. No one escapes it, not even when the killing is legally or morally justified. The soldier who kills during war pays the price. The policeman who kills a perp pays the price. The men who must carry out an execution pay the price.

    The price is much higher for a woman who has ended the life of her own child.

    So let's demonize those that get an aboration. While we're out demonizing people for something legal, let's throw tomatoes at voters.

    The thing about it is....the bible doesn't really even say abortion is wrong, or at least not directly.

    It does advocate abortion if the child is illigitimate.

    The Christian pro life movement here in the US has it's roots in the Catholic church...where the realively new concept of "sanctity of life" is a European construct, which echo's loudly with evangelicals in the US.

    But the outrage over abortion has become a tool for the GOP, ever since Reagan

    Well yeah, the Christians "married" conservatism back in 1980, and it's been a powerful force ever since.

    Exactly.

    And isn't it typical that its a man telling women how they will feel?

    You know, if people didn't make it such a big deal, then it would be a lot better.

    My aunt had an abortion and it ruined her life.

    This is my business and it is your business and it is everyone's business what happens to our fellow human beings.

    The slave owners had the same argument "It's none of your business" but that didn't wash. It didn't wash then and it doesn't wash now

    So ignoring a great societal evil will somehow make it better?

    So does your aunt have problems speaking, or without an internet connection?

    It's not an evil, it's legal.

    No disrespect towards your Aunt intended...I genuinly mean that.....but.........

    If there are others in your family who would shame your Aunt, or call her a murderer, for having an abortion....and then possibly even impune her reputation as a result...I can see how that might ruin someone's life.

    If none of this happened to your Aunt, I withdraw my statement...but you might want to consider the type of mental torture you might inflict upon women who undergo the perfectly legal procedure of pregnancy termination, for vaild reasons.

    It's a fine line that seperates championing a moral cause with vigor and righteousness, and being part of a witch hunt.

    I am very sorry for your aunt. . .but I'm not at all surprise IF EVERYONE IN YOUR FAMILY IS AS NARROW MINDED AND JUDGMENTAL as YOU are!

    I also assume that you aunt is somewhat older than you are. . .maybe close to a generation older than you are? Is it possible that she had to resource to an illegal abortion or that she was pushed to terminate her pregnancy to avoid the "stigma" and rejection of her family and friends at a time when abortion was not legal. . .or even if it was legal, the mores of her community were as rejecting of early term abortion as you are today?

    I have known several women who had abortions, including my sister who had five, beautiful children, three miscarriages, and 2 abortions!

    Trust me. . .it has NOT ruined her life! Her 5 children are now high functioning adults, each of them with a family of their own (most have 3 children of their own), and who are expanding that very large family with a new generation of babies (two at this time).

    It is all in the attitude! If you live in a supportive, loving family, and if you make the decision to abort for the RIGHT reasons, instead of feeling you have been "forced" into it by the "stigma" of being pregnant as a teenager or "out of wedlock," abortion remains a difficult decision (and I am certain than in all the women I personally know who had abortions, that decision was NEVER taken lightly), but it doesn't have to trigger a life long trauma or guilt trip.

    Maybe you should wonder what role YOUR family played in allowing the early termination of a pregnancy to RUIN your aunt's life!

    Yep. . .and slave owners didn't mind selling those Black babies away from their mothers, right?

    Who knows. . .maybe that's where abortion became "illegal!" It was taking away the "property" of the slave owner without their consent!

    Is this what Capitalism and pro-choice philosophy have in common?

    Women who have had an abortion tend to be wracked with guilt especially if they later on have kids. They seem to mourn this "tumor" thing they removed.

    I don't know how many times a woman who had an abortion just went emotionally ballistic just from the subject being brought up. I've seen that in real life and on forums.
