She had an abortion at 19, when she already raising a 2-year-old son. "It wasn't hard to realize I didn't want another child at that time

She also failed to realize she should keep her knees together. It's not rocket science.

"and we've already got enough problems with the mentally ill son," Girard said."

Oh my gosh!

An article in the Columbus Dispatch indicates that, based on 2006 figures for Ohio, 1/6 of the abortions are by married women and 5/6 by unmarried women (never married, divorcees and widows). About 2/3rds of those having abortions have at least one child.

Likely conclusion: It appears that the decision to have an abortion, by and large, is an econimic decision.

“It wasn’t hard to realize I didn’t want another child at that time,” Mathias said. “I was trying to take care of the one I had, and going to college and working at the same time.”

I can imagine how she felt but I wonder if she thinks God is going to buy her reasons.

About a dozen years ago I drove a cab in Minneapolis for a few months. It was always something I wanted to try and I hated it.

I got a call and as soon as I saw it on my MDT my stomach dropped. I instantly recognized the destination as the Robbinsdale Clinic. As I pulled up to the customers house I saw an 18 year old girl on her front steps crying. All I wanted to do was just keep driving, but I figured she would just call someone else, and perhaps I could say something to her on the way.
I had no idea what to say, so I told her how hard a time I was having driving her, that I knew where she was going and what she was planning and for her to not let anyone talk her into anything she wasn't sure about. Best I could come up with at the time.
When we got to the clinic we had to run the gauntlet of the protesters who yelled at us and waved signs at us. I dropped her off and as I drove back out through the protesters I stopped and rolled my window down and a Lady approached me and I just broke down. Big hairy ugly guy blubbering like a little girl. I got it together enough to tell the Lady the girls name and we prayed for her.

One of the hardest things I ever had to do. All these years later I'm still shedding tears.

"It doesn't just happen to young people..."

Actually, it doesn't "just happen" to anyone. It's not like a car accident or food poisoning. You have to actively seek out an abortion.

Besides the one husband who was “on track” with his two son’s education (by murdering his son’s sibling), where are the fathers? Besides the rare instance of rape or incest - it takes two to tango. The fathers bare just as much responsibility for these abortions as the mothers.

If we passed a law that said any mother could murder her child at any age because the child had become “inconvenient,” we would be laughed off the face of the earth. But we permit, and even condone, murdering an unborn child who is inconvenient.

Perhaps it would be best to consider tomorrow “Alveda King Day” instead.

1.2 million U.S. women who have abortions

I can not even read a statement like that without getting sick to my stomach. Sick people. God have mercy on their souls.

The financial strain excuse is bogus. There is no law that requires women to keep, support and raise a child she bears.

"It doesn't just happen to young people, it doesn't necessarily have to do with irresponsibility," said Miriam Inocencio, president of Planned Parenthood of Rhode Island. "Women face years and years of reproductive life after they've completed their families, and they're at risk of an unintended pregnancy that can create an economic strain."

That moral rationale justifies killing children of any age who can't pull their weight when hard times come.

They have a right to choose alright, they can chose NOT to have SEX and then they won’t have to make a “decision”.
