Black history month? Our first mistake was not picking our own cotton.
I can no longer celebrate the birth of a new life knowing that they will experience nothing but a slow or rapid destruction in the left’s specially created hell.
It makes far more sense to celebrate a suicide.
God gives life for a reason. Suicide is a quick ticket to separation from God.
Thank You, I went to Cafe press but it was a little above my skill level. Will have to get my daughter to put the phrase together with a picture of a baby in God’s hands.
In a very liberal country like Denmark, it is humanistic at the very least; Atheistic in its purest sense. That is how they can try to justify this finding. In their view, it is not an adverse affect.
The problem is that the effects of having an abortion go well beyound a few years after the fact. It will effect people for the rest of their lives. People know inside that it is wrong. Just by looking at the aftermath of an abortion, NO ONE sane can walk away justifying an abortion.
The study should seek out those who had abortions 30 years ago and compare them to women who had children 30 years ago.
some times regrets take a while to manifest
My first pregnancy was incredibly difficult...bad morning sickness for the first four months, then at 8 months, I developed clotting in the capillaries of my legs. They swelled to mammoth proportions and looked like I had been beaten black and blue. I was only total bed rest—developed pre-eclampsia and a UTI at the last minute as well, plus a horrible pregnancy rash that I could not get relief from all over my stomach and upper legs. I ballooned to 165 pounds—up from 110 pre-pregnancy. To say I was miserable is an understatement, and my poor husband was working hard at his job in the Navy and taking care of me, the house, and college courses (he’ll be up for sainthood someday for that, LOL). The day before I went into labor, I had a biopsy on my leg and an MRI. If you think an MRI sucks, try it 9 months pregnant!
I had an agonizing 27 hours of labor with very little pain medication. It felt like I had a vice grip on my legs every time I had a contraction. I had I don’t know how many different drugs running into my IV to manage the different conditions I had. I pushed for over an hour and they had about every person they could spare in the delivery room. It became very scary and when my daughter finally emerged, the cord was wrapped around her neck multiple times—the doc had to pull on her quickly and bruised her pretty good in the process. Both the doc and the nurses said it was one of the scarier deliveries they had handled. I had 3rd degree tearing that took an hour to stitch up and it was about 4 days before I could get out of bed unassisted.
Was that traumatic? Absoulutely...but in the end I had a beautiful 8.5 pound baby girl who looks just like her mom ;) She turns 13 in June and is a joy to her family, friends, and teachers. All that garbage I went through was temporary—my daughter is here for as long as God grants her to us. The pleasure of knowing her and being her mom for these last dozen plus years overrides anything I went through to haver her.
(BTW—I went on to have 3 more children in the next 9 years and they were perfectly healthy and normal pregnancies and deliveries—heck, the last one only took 2.5 hours to arrive!)
I read through your dramatic story, as if, holding your hand through every word, waiting, hoping it would get better in the next line or so moment, and then, sunshine! having demonstrated bravery, and heroism throughout.
Thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome! It was especially scary because we were stationed in Puerto Rico at the time and had no family around. Thankfully, we had lots of good friends and the head maternity nurse was married to a co-worker of my husband’s.
On a lighter note, the 27+ hours of labor left very little sleep for my husband. On top of that, he barely ate anything except half a Subway sandwich that someone brought for him. As soon as our daughter was delivered and taken away for her bathing and other necessities, he walked outside the delivery room and passed out. The sight of a 6 foot 3 tough guy going down for the count must have been something to see, LOL. Fortunately, our friend the head maternity nurse got him home and told the staff he wasn’t allowed to come back for several hours so he could get some sleep and food in him ;) Since she was an officer, he had to obey! LOL
I would hope the reason he went home was to get him regimented to the new house rules, unwritten rule in the aftermath of all the hard work you did that when your newborn needs attention in the dark of night, the mother stays in bed having earned that privilege through the labor and such, now it's the husband's time to carry the load, so to speak. :-) BTW:Have you been doing any "White water" (Clinton investment fiasco) rafting lately?
I don’t know what this “reason” is but it sure as hell isn’t worth it. What is the point of living when the only positive thing in the world is something that may or may not happen after you die?
Life is the worst curse that I can imagine.
That anyone can make the claims in the article is evidence that our society is sick unto death.
I disagree.
The left is hateful. It’s one of their driving emotions.
They hate the Author of all life and all that exists, so their foundation of hatred poisons everything the think, do and believe.
Yes, but whatever form they take, it leads to a antio-culture of death and self extermination. It wouldn’t be so bad, but they always want to take as many as they can, with them.
Put it this way, Women who are pregnant and decide to keep their child experience mental issues at a rate of 3 women per 1000 in the nine months prior to giving birth. That rate goes up to 7 women per 1000 after they give birth.
Women who are pregnant and decide to have an abortion experience mental issues at a rate of 10 women per 1000 in the nine months before the abortion and that goes up to 15 women per 1000 after the abortion.
This study actually shows that women who chose NOT to abort their babies have less mental issues overall than those who do.
Oh, right, here we go. Let's lure them in. Let's all find some really good reasons not to fear abortion. Sheesh, bloody murderers.
Anyone who murders someone for convenience will eventually realize the enormity of her act, and living with that for the rest of her life will not be “better for her mental health.”
I once knew a woman who used abortion for birth control. She killed six of her own children. Eventually it hit her.
