How I Changed My Mind About Abortion

Patheos ^ | January 15, 2014 | Julia Herrington

Why should the perogative be with the woman?
If both are responsible then both should have
an interest, as it stands now the male only
has an interest if the child is born while
the female may choose to abort or carry
inspite of the wishes of the male.

Yep. Saw this years ago....”we had a sexual revolution and the women lost.” The two biggest weapons were abortion/contraception and no-fault divorce. They were sold as empowerment tools to women by the feminists and faux-feminist men. In reality all they did was free men of responsibility.

EVERYBODY LOST NOT JUST WOMEN. look at the friggin state we’re all in. diseases, lies, unhappiness, distrust, certainly not love.

I'm sorry to inform you, Ma'am, that you CANNOT abort this child.

It seems you are, somehow, carrying a BALD EAGLE to term - not a human.

I'd like to thank the United States Government for protecting me and my kind.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You see, 40 years ago, my odds of making it out of the egg, alive, were very poor; about 80% of us died.

But a lady discovered our plight and wrote a book that addressed our problem,

and, in 1972, a law was ammended protecting us even further. (http://www.fws.gov/midwest/eagle/protect/laws.html)

 

 

 

 

 

 

What I find strange is that the same government passed a law the very next year that allowed for killing

of unborn, and apparently unwanted, humans.  Little ones still nestled safely in their Mother's womb.

Around 25% of them are dying before birth - on average nearly 3,300 - every day of the year.

 

 

I hear that by now, somewhere around 55 MILLION of them have perished.

Wouldn't that kind of mess up the humans plans for growth, and welfare, and

retirement?

 

 

 

 

 

Strange birds; these Homo Sapiens.  Perhaps they'll come to their senses

before they are ALL dead!

why ask me... I put the responsibility on the man... if he doesn’t want children keep it zipped

[Nifster]

apparently you think once a child is born that BOTH parents aren’t responsible...you are not only legally incorrect you are also morally incorrect...

again I say if you don’t want children keep it zipped. If you want children get married and behave like an adult not like some animal in heat

[tet68]

Sorry you misunderstood, I believe both are responsible
and both have rights.
Glad to clear that up for you.

It may not be typical but it is not uncommon. You may be the naïve one if you think abortions are mostly goaded by the men involved. Women typically get abortions for their own reasons, not because a man wants them to, and seldom turn away from the decision to abort just because the man is opposed.

Surveys have shown that among the primary reasons for abortion are problems in the relationship, as identified by the mother.

sorry for the multiple post screw up.

“it’s certainly not something you profess publicly.”

This is the product of political “correctness” run amok. We have become a society where far too many people are afraid to speak up because of political and social pressure to conform. Those pressures used to be a force which encouraged people to live by high moral standards. Now they pressure people to give legitimacy and acceptance to things like abortion, which they know in their hearts to be wrong.
