Uh, “miscarriage management”???

That’s a new one on me. Clever marketing.

Babies lives are lives worth saving, even ugly ones.

And making fun of ones God given looks is quite the same. You see, what you referred to as beyatch is also a child of God. Maybe on the wrong path, but still one of God's people.

You diminished what God thought was beautiful. It's almost as bad as taking those who you claim are worth saving.

Argue on the merits of her position and yours. Her appearance has nothing to do with the moral issue being discussed.

Unfortunately, where she works is a college (University of Washington). Unless she has patients that discuss problems they have had with abortion such as post abortion trauma, she will deny that this exists...

Someone has posted that she is researching how to put a person on contraception immediately after an abortion.

She works at the University of Washington, and I believe that this is one of her research areas.

This might be what is meant by miscarriage management -- turning to contraception rather than another abortion as a solution to the persons problem.

Of course, many conservatives believe in abstinence, which is the best route for single and unmarried people (chastity).

Women who have suffered the humiliation, dehumanization and violence of abortion know the truth about it. There may be a few spiritually dead women who felt no guilt about the killing of their babies. Not many.

But this is what they HAVE to believe - that it’s no big deal - or else they would lose their ever lovin’ minds.

I used to get very angry every time Katie Couric would ask the wives of all Republican presidential candidates if they wanted Roe v. Wade to be overturned and they would cower in fear. If I had been the one being interviewed here is how the interview would have gone:

Katie: Do you want Roe v Wade to be overturned?
Me: Katie, how many abortions have you had?
Katie: This interview is not about me...
Me: Oh, yes it is, Katie. No one is as much an advocate of abortion as you are unless they have experienced it firsthand. So how many abortions have you had, Katie?
Katie: Well, uh, I think that’s a private matter...
Me: Typically the women who push other women to have abortions are trying to spread their own pain around by sharing it with others. It’s like that old Randy Newman song “I Want You to Hurt Like I Do”. How do your living children feel about your abortions? Are they able to trust you? Are they afraid you are going to hurt them, too?
Katie: Well, that’s all the time we have. Thanks for coming in. The commercial break starts and Katie screams “Get that mic off her and get her out of her NOW BEFORE I SLAP HER!

Thanks for clarifying, I wasn’t considering the mega-birth control drug regimen.
Yes, conservatives are pro-choice until conception.

ok then so this beaversmom rekons theres no such thing! in that case you must of never expeirenced it before! i supose if cancer hadnt been discovered you wouldnt beleive the pain cancer paitents are in when they are suffering? i was in a position where i fell pregnant at 16 and couldnt imagine bringing up a child once the father had left me! could you ever understand how scary it is as a child findin out your expecting a child! it gets worse after you have the abortion as well, the feeling of sadness and grief is the only things you pointed out. when infact there is alot mre such as guilt, anxiety, psychological numbness, depression to an extent of suicide and self harming, development of eating disorders and alcohol and solvent abuse! ive been through it all, and now at 17 to sit and read what you have to say on it is so dis-respectful towards real women who have suffered from this! it is real! and i know many other people who will tell you exactly the same - scientists are more concerned about finding stars then doing something useful with our money! it will be given a medical recognisation! and when it does i should hope you will take everything back

Tell it to these women who have agonized over their abortions.

Silent No More

Fool.

"76 percent of women report feeling relief after abortion while only 17 percent report feelings of guilt"

I don't believe these statistics for a minute. If there was ever a subject to lie about, this is it. "Do you feel guilty for having killed your baby?" Sheesh.

There were many German “camp workers” that didn’t have guilt after a hard day at the ovens in the 1940’s.

Choosing to end a pregnancy in abortion is not a decision that comes lightly to any woman

Why not? If it's convenient, safe & doesn't have detrimental aftereffects, why wouldn't the decision be as straightforward as, say, having laser hair removal or getting braces?

Among the many women SarahPrager has not met are the several I met working in psych wards for four years, who felt the devastating effects of abortions for decades, and whose grief and guilt were compounded by a society that told them they were not allowed to feel bad about having an abortion, and most certainly forbidden to say so publicly.

Please print this out, then slip the sheet of paper down the memory hole. The storm troopers will be surrounding your cubicle shortly.

Either lifelong guilt,

or a lifelong crusade to justify what they did.

I’ve seen this repeatedly. With someone that is a totally irrational abortion supporter, I’d lay any amount of money on a bet that they have had an abortion.

They feel guilty about it, and spend the rest of their lives justifying it.
