She's still in denial. That is where the anger comes from in pro-abortion women. They don't want to admit that they killed their own baby. She continues to enable herself and her wrong decision by indulging the fantasy that abortion is the only answer.
She talks about "shame" for getting pregnant out of wedlock? Where is the "shame" for killing your own child here? She's demented.

I was very much in the mindset of this woman at one time---it is not a baby, it's a fetus, a parasite, a kind of tumor that will suck you dry of life and money and opportunities. Thank God I didn't go through with an abortion. Yes, I lost the respect of my parents, who wanted me to finish college, to find a husband who was more of what they wanted.
What did I get for my sacrifice of life, money, opportunities?
A baby boy who weighed over 10 lbs.. I've grown into a more caring person, more sympathetic, somewhat wiser person. Yes, children are expensive. Yes, they require time and energy (life). Yes, in spending my time, money, and energy on him and his sibs, I've missed out on opportunities to really get involved in the corporate grind. I wouldn't change it for anything.
One thought about this woman and her daughter: did she ever thank her mother for not aborting her? Will her daughter ever thank her for not aborting?
I think we should have a national "Thank Your Mom For Not Aborting You" day. Maybe on the day Roe V. Wade became law.
Anybody with me?
I caught that too. She had to correct it in her head. You can totally see the chain of thought there. She has more issues with her own abortion than she admits. Sad that she should feel more comfortable admitting to having an abortion than admitting to feeling shame over it.
It sounds like she has accepted her mom's ethos. Because the alternative is to hate her mom.
Like I wrote earlier, wait until she is older and realizes just what a horrible thing her mom has done.
She told me before I went off to college, as a precaution -- "Be careful, and always remember you have a 'choice.' In 1975 (two years after I was born),...blah blah blah, new choices, blah, finances, blah blah, no big deal, blah kids were a burden..." She's still unrepentant, and it breaks my heart
I never looked at her the same way again, and still struggle with it. A younger sibling that never was, sacrificed on the altars of convenience and choice.
Sure, that sounds like an Amish locution -- NOT! (Lucky the Amish don't go in for radio/TV, so she didn't have to hear that!)
I believe she was talking about former Brownies. She looked at the girls when they were little and thought which one would be the first one to get pregnant. When the daughter says another Brownie got pregnant she's referring to the girls that she was in the Brownies with.
Oh! (Embarrassed.) Of course you're right. She's talking about "what happened to these Brownies in just a few years." If I'd re-read I would have realized that.
The right euphemism makes it so much easier to embrace a lie.
"And if she got an abortion, she'd still have a future."
Yes, she would have a future with innocent blood on her hands. Of course, she would have a future if she put the baby up for adoption, or even if she raised it herself. Babies do not take away one's future.
Ah! She is the complete feminazi! She has sacrificed her child on the altar of death and is now an evangelical feminazi.
I have been thinking along the same lines as you
have for quite some time.
"Sandy Hingston is a senior editor and parenting columnist at Philadelphia Magazine. She lives in Pennsylvania with her husband and their [convenient]teenage son and daughter"...and one dead, unwanted son or daughter and her living children's dead brother or sister.
At least she didn't use the word "breed" -- but mating isn't much better.
You are right. I also thought it was scary that this woman writes a parenting column and she has a venue to expose young girls to her pro death view point.
The article should remind us that as parents we need to make sure that the other adults in our children's live either hold the same values or are careful not to naysay what we have taught our children.
Also I would like to know how many of the girls profiled in the article were being reared in single parent homes. I am willing to bet all of them.
...where she is a brave hero.
She can lie to herself, she can lie to her daughter, she can lie to the world. But she can not lie to God.
He knows.
Poor child.
Wow, what a dumb thing to say. In this day and age, with the divorce rate what it is, there are lots of children being raised by single parents. Sometimes you don't get a choice.
Single parent home or not, that shouldn't determine where you fall on the abortion issue, or how you want it presented to your child.
I should have clarified. I believe it is more likely for a young girl to have sex when there is not a strong father in her life. Single mothers can and often do make sure their children have a strong fatherly role model. But too often the children of single mother just don't have that very important influence in their lives.
I was not speaking about what children are taught about abortion. But the women who wrote the article obviously thought the age of the pregnant girls was a valid argument for abortion. So answering the question of why these girls had sex can go a great deal towards taking that argument out of the pro death roster.
