and i was stunned and traumatized by a photo of the dead and still bloody corpse of a woman who tried to self abort prior to the legalization of abortion. she was on the floor, blood seeping from her body.

i will never forget it and will always believe that a woman is entitled to a safe medical abortion.

So because you saw the negative side effects of a woman murdering her own child you think all women should be free to have a professional murder their children for them?

"safe medical abortion."

Do you hear yourself? Abortion is not safe-- the result is one dead baby and one wounded Mother. "Abortion kills twice. It kills
the body of the baby and it kills the conscience of the
mother." Abortion is profoundly anti-women. Three quarters
of its victims are women: Half the babies and all the mothers." Mother Teresa of Calcutta -

Are you serious? You can't be. There will always be desperate people doing desperate things, but you can't possibly think, as a reasonable person I will assume, that this is not murder. It is just so profoundly simple to see. I will pray that you see the light.

I've read a bunch of your posts & you're about as conservative as John Kerry.

An abortion is only 'safe' for 50% of the people who go into the clinic.

I'd also love to have you explain what you mean by 'entitled to' as well.

Why did this woman *need* to attempt an abortion on herself? Couldn't she have just carried the child to term and found a good home for the child?

Leaving aside the greater moral issue for the moment (which I see other responders already have addressed)... I'd just ask, isn't she also entitled to see and to know the full ramifications of what she is doing? In what other medical procedure is the right not to understand what you are doing so enshrined? Why is it that those in favor of abortion seem always to want to withhold the information of what actually occurs? If, as you argue, a woman has the right to make this choice, then surely she has the responsibility and indeed the obligation to be educated about what she is doing, doesn't she? What is the pro-abortion lobby afraid of? Why shouldn't women see the actual procedure before they submit themselves to it? In medicine, that concept is called "informed consent."
