Good on them!


She still looks great.

Then, of course, there are these other ladies.

[Federalist 78]

these other ladies

Imagine being a fiancé, husband, or significant other to one of those CULTURE OF DEATH ladies...wake up with a hatchet buried in your head someday.

Romans 1: 28 - 32 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;" Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Every single woman I know that has had an abortion now regrets it.

[ClancyJ]

Of course they regret their abortion - how could anyone be proud of killing their own future son or daughter and forever denying that little person the gift of a life here on earth? They may have other children but that child was consigned to nothingness for eternity by its own mother.

I commend them in realizing the mistake and helping others speak of it.

This shows that God's plan for man's life is the best plan for man's happiness.

One is really struck by the selfishness.
Sadly even those with regrets feel compelled to rationalize.

Thinking a second child would be a playmate for the first is a "simplistic fantasy"?

I think many of those women are weeping inside and that's very sad.

Mosley said her group wants to help women and men who are hurting from abortions to find peace.

It is good those who have had abortions feel guilty. Maybe then they can convince others thinking of having one not to make the same mistake.

[Triple Word Score]

What astonishing and admirable courage.

"I was wrong" are hard words to say. "I was wrong and I will do anything to make it as right as I can" are words that take even more strength.

[TASMANIANRED]

"It's time to speak honestly about the pain we've lived with. Abortion hurts and it is a much harder choice to live with after the fact than adoption or child rearing. I know because I have lived with all three. "

The first "choice" should be to learn to say no and then keep your knees closed.

[visualops]

Very true. And, admitting you were wrong for something so absolutely final- the regret of all regrets- is particularly so.

[DMZFrank]

"I've had three abortions and that hurts women like me,'' she told the Associated Press. "It devastates us physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally.''

Not as much as it hurt the baby.

[Henchman]

If these women are taken seriously, are they against ALL abortions, the second one, the third or what? If there is a halt to it, where will we house and feed all the illegal guest workers? ...it is harder than ever to determine who is a Dem and who is a Rep!

Abortion foes march in D.C. to repeal law

WASHINGTON - Thousands of abortion protesters, some carrying signs that said "American Holocaust" and "I regret my abortion," marched from the White House to the Supreme Court yesterday to mark the 31st anniversary of the decision that established a woman's right to the procedure.

The day of demonstrations against the court's 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade began with a Mass and rally attended by Catholic bishops and a crowd of about 15,000, mostly teenagers.

President Bush called in a brief statement, telling anti-abortion marchers they were gathered for "a noble cause."

"The right to life does not come from government, it comes from the creator of life," the president said from Roswell, N.M., where he was wrapping up a two-day trip.

A smaller group of abortion-rights activists said it largely focused on lobbying on Capitol Hill for legislation to reverse limits on reproductive freedom imposed since 1973.

Those activists planned a march for April 25. "Anti-choice zealots want to impose their views and theology on the rest of us, and that's just not right," said Gloria Feldt, president of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

See how the leftist media spreads "the big lie"?
The crowd was estimated to be as much as 300,000. But they bury this article inside the paper, and try to diminish the impact.

Most of those who choose abortion do so because they have been coerced or tricked or otherwise misled into believing it's the best thing. A few do it because they were raped and in the aftermath of rape they cannot deal emotionally with the pregnancy too.

Very few do it knowing what they're really doing. Truly this is one of those times when Jesus's words on the cross really apply. They know not what they do. That's what regret is--learning better.

There are a very few occasions where it is done out of medical necessity; when it is done for convenience, it is almost always because someone has lied to a girl or young woman about what actually is going to happen to her.

"Keep your knees closed" works fine when you have some control over the matter...sometimes young women do not have that control.

Romans 1: 28 - 32

Boy doesn't that describe them?

You could have written the whole thing in bold. The "without natural affection" is something I have become aware of this year.

[Delphinium]

If these women are taken seriously, are they against ALL abortions

I would say they are against ALL abortions.

...it is harder than ever to determine who is a Dem and who is a Rep!

Pretty easy for me. Republicans believe in Life, Liberty, and Property, and democrats don't

WHERE ARE THE MEN MARCHING AND REGRETTING CONVINCING THEIR GIRLFRIENDS/WIVES TO GET ABORTIONS????

My apologies. Let's try that again:

Why Abortions Are Performed

• The overwhelming majority of all abortions, (95%), are done as a means of birth control.
  

• Only 1% are performed because of rape or incest;
  
• 1% because of fetal abnormalities;
