From stories I have heard, back in the days when abortions were illegal it was a big deal to find the doctor and then get an appointment. It was all very hush-hush but the girl and the mother both knew exactly what the options were and what the goal might be. For her to claim she had no idea of that option is hard to believe.
Let’s say she was blindsided by her first abortion, the second abortion was a surprise too?
She claims no responsibility for her choices and we’re fine with that? I wonder why? Because she is black? MLK’s niece?
What does that have to do with what I snipped from your comment? I made no comment whatsoever about absolving her of responsibility for her choices. None. I pointed out that what you stated, about what actually occurs in an abortion clinic (apart from murder) is wrong.
One other thing, not directed at you but just a statement in general: There have been a few assertions on this thread that abortion, in 1971 and before, was illegal. Not so. RvW in 1973 made abortion legal at the national level. Prior to that, abortion was legal in many areas of the country. I have seen nothing, no evidence so far, that shows that King's abortions were illegal. The legal standing, to me, does not at all alter the absolute immorality of abortion. It does, however, change the circumstances of the procurement. An abortionist performing illegal procedures would go above and beyond to make certain that the woman knew what was going on--in fact, I can't for a second believe that such a murder didn't take place at the direct and insistent request of the mother.
I can envision a doctor, "practicing medicine" in a setting in which abortion is legal, making life and death decisions without any help from the woman with her legs in the stirrups. That's exactly the kind of ego abortionists have. They don't discuss. They don't answer questions. I know of one personally who doesn't even allow for questions to be asked. They're monsters.
As for King, I am in no position to sit in judgment of her, but I will say this: Regardless of the circumstances surrounding her abortions, for many, many years now she has been a tireless advocate for the unborn. And yes, in that regard, it does make a difference that she's black. I can't think of one single black female pro-lifer that is as high-profile as she is. In fact, I can't think of one other slightly well known black female pro-lifer. Think of what that means to the black community.
