“Even if the woman were not required to take responsibility for the resulting child, she would still be burdened with the knowledge that she was a mother. This could be traumatic and damaging to her health. That’s why we must have a ‘health of the mother’ exception to any proposed limit to the right to an abortion.”

So a woman would carry the burden of knowing that she was a mother. What in the sam hill are they talking about? The mere knowledge that a woman knows she is pregnant and will be a mother is traumatic and damaging to her health? Her mental health? Her physical health? What kind of reasoning is this?

Don’t ask me. I have enough trouble following the logic of sane people sometimes. Twisted people at PP are just twisted.

...she would still be burdened with the knowledge that she was a mother.

Isn't it odd that the very same reason--"health of the mother"--could be used to outlaw abortion? What about the post-abortive women--more than half of them--who suffer psychologically once they realize that they are mothers? once they realize what they did to their baby? How would the good Dr Kill(emallbeforetheyre)born ease that particular burden, I wonder?

It is liberal reasoning.

They are ALL mothers...the only difference is, they are mothers of DEAD babies! They are STILL mothers!!! Killing the baby doesn't take away motherhood. They don't get it, do they?

Funny we all caught the last name!! I saw that as I read further, after I responded.
