THEY WERE IN NEW MEXICO WITH BUSH!

[Principled]

Those people are hiding their regret and shame.

They may be able to tout something "positive" for which to be "grateful"...but they wouldn't deny that it would be better if the abortion "could" have been avoided.

JMHO

I can't believe that so many hearts are so black and hard.

[Triple Word Score]

I think that some people have such a wretched background that they really don't know better and are insensitive to any Spirit that might whisper otherwise to them.

Such people must be common. Abortion is common, and preservation of the right to abortion so thoroughly warps national politics.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

"It's usually the ones who should be telling them to see it through who arrange for abortions"

I disagree with that. All of the women I know who have had abortions have done so in the "cloak of darkness and secrecy". They knew it was wrong, and they tried to keep the truth from everyone.

I worked at an abortion clinic as an internship for my degree in social work.

I have seen it all, and I will offer them no easy road out.

[Triple Word Score]

I'm not surprised.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Not surprised about what?

That as a young, confused student I thought I could really make a difference with people by working in the field of social work?

Surprised that I was forced to take an internship counseling other young girls at Planned parenthood?

That I accepted it at first because I thought I could really help young girls explore all of their options before they killed their baby.

BTW, I insisted that they change my internship after 4 months, and started an internship for a Democratic Congressman, who also advocated making excuses for people.

Are you not surprised that I speak out my experience.

I guess you give hero status to women who have killed a baby and regret it, but not for an ex social worker who speaks out about regrets , because no one really wants the help or information. They want to be able to make excuses and find people who believe their BS, and who allows them to wallow in self pity.

That is interesting to me. You don't think it is a noble endeavor of mine to speak the truth with facts. Or is that just when I disagree with your opinions?

BTW,I found it much easier to work with developmentally disabled people. At least they makes strides to better themselves and rise to challenges.

People will always rise to your expectations of them. Set your standards and expectations low enough, and people will step all over you and feel sorry for themselves at the same time.

[Triple Word Score]

I'm not surprised you declare you will not forgive.

Stop following me around the forum chumming for a chance to jump on me, call me a liar or worse, and flame me. I thought you were ready to play nice. I see now you're just inciting to riot, since you can't try to shred my friends anymore. You circle around everything I say looking for a way to flame me. The evidence of this is on this thread--you aren't here to have a civil discussion about anti-abortion activism, but to try to make another flamewar happen.

I'm not posting on many threads, and I'm steering completely clear of your canteen threads. I'll stay off of any thread where you've posted, and I expect you to do the same for me since you cannot play nice as you were told to do.

As much personal information as you publicly post about yourself, you really ought to be kinder to people you don't know.

Leave me alone!

[Diva Betsy Ross]

As I said, it is not for me to forgive. I am doing what I think needs to be done to help get the truth out and perhaps help stop an abortion someday. This site is a debate forum for activists ,is it not? I disagree with you, and I am stating why I disagree with you.

I am not flaming you, nor am I following you around, if you notice I do not know which threads you psot on, nor doIread your psots on threads where I am not posting.

I am trying to make a point, and I am responding to your posts to me. I have never flamed you once. We just seem to always be on the opposite side of these issues. I have been very civil here, and I am not interested in a flame war, nor have I ever been.

I happen to have some experience and strong feelings about this issue, and about politics in general.

As for the Canteen thread. You are welcome to post there, it is not my thread. If you would like to support the troops and send messages to them, I am sure they would appreciate that. Everyone can help by showing their support.

You may use my name to post to, or anyone else's screen name that you see. It is a very welcoming group of freepers, and our objective there is to support the troops, vets and their families. The thread does not belong to me, nor would I ever want to discourage anyone from expressing their support to our troops there.

Everyone is welcome.

As for my personal information. I am not worried one bit about that, or I would not have posted it. I don't take threats over the internet seriously, because it would be very easy to trace where the threat came from.

It may be easy for you, but the Reps & "regretting women's" positions are not clear. Perhaps my statement was not clear. Let me rephrase it: The Democraps love to kill kids. The Reps SAY they are against abortions, but claim we need guest workers because there is a shortage of workers. In essence, the Reps do nothing to stop abortion because they can import illegal "guest workers" who can fill the jobs vacated by the dead fetuses... and the side benefit is that the Reps can play politics, we legalized you, and you are all grown up, so you can vote for us.

To summarize, DO WHAT IS RIGHT. END ABORTION, END ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION. If the Reps do this, soon we will have all the AMERICAN workers we need, with our values etc. and no regrets.

One of the reformed women either is still for abortions, having had three but reformed without specificity as to her current position (BTW, the kids are still dead).

[Diva Betsy Ross]

The only way we are going to get to the government to work in our favor is for the people to decide that abortion is wrong, and then do something about it.

The problem I think really is , is that the liberals have made it "uncool" to be anti-abortion. Many pro-life people buy into this "we can not judge" mentality.

That is my reason for speaking out about my experiences, and my regrets on this issue. I think that asmuch truth andfacts get out there, the better off young girls will be if faced with an unwanted pregnancy.

They're probably in some mini-mart close by looking for some other convenience item.

In the end though, it's still a lot more the girl's fault than the guy's. She bears the child, she nurtures the child, she can't change the biology of that as much as she might like to. Women gave men the ability to choose, and so they have. It was much better when if you knocked some girl up, her father came calling waving his 12 guage.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

As sad as that sounds there is truth to that. Some women want to use sex as a weapon or a tool to get what they want. And what these gals usually want is to manipulate men.

Then these gals want to call pity parties for themselves because their plans backfired. Women bare the burden of responsibility for what happens to their bodies.( In most cases, save rape cases)

Isn't that what NOW has been saying all along?

[AlbionGirl]

Excellent points, all, and love your screen name.

Thank goodness it is not "for you to forgive".

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Oh! Okay.... A bit later Susan chimes in. Interesting.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

Oh BTW- did you go thru all of the trouble to sign up just to post that bit of wisdom to me? Why I am touched! And a brilliant comeback it was after all! ( sarcasm of course!!) LOL!
