As I have explained many times, often the most revealing stories come courtesy of our faithful readers. This post comes from the Herald Sun (Australia). It’s headlined, “No shame in aborting unborn life” and is written by Susie O’Brien.
Let’s be clear. The objective of pro-lifers is not “shaming” anyone, but rather saving the lives of unborn babies and the future psychological, emotional, and spiritual health of women facing crisis pregnancies.
Where we part company (actually we part company even earlier, but…) with people like Ms. O’Brien is over the self-serving and lethal mistake-erasing notion that it is better to be the “good” mother of a dead baby than a “bad” mother of a living baby.
That is, according to O’Brien, not only should women not be ashamed of their abortions, they ought to take a certain kind of pride. They weighed their situation, check-listed their parental skills, evaluated the totality of their environment, and chose…what they chose.
Thus she can conclude, “Yes, it is a big, important, life-changing event that should be taken seriously” (referring to abortion), “but let’s get off the guilt-trip.”
Obviously, she already held that opinion. But now O’Brien feels she has “science” behind her in the form of a study out of the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Women’s Health and Society.
“One woman interviewed, Abigail, didn’t realise she was pregnant until this time, and decided to have an abortion because she had been drinking heavily and feared for the foetus’s health. ‘You know, you don’t just have a child because you can,’ she told researchers.”
Think about that for a second. It’s almost as if she is trying to tell herself she wasn’t really pregnant in the first place—that becoming a mother was some future event the path down which she had not taken the first (or multiple) steps.
I understand fully that when we violate values written on our heart we must find rationalizations. Just, please, don’t tell me that a baby torn limb from limb is “better off.”
Only sociopaths feel no guilt over murdering another person.

Morally there’s not a bit of difference between these people and the rabid murdering dogs in ISIS.
May they change their ways and ask for God’s forgiveness.
There’s only a few routes to go after procuring an abortion -
repentence,
self-justification,
life-long depression
#2 is what you see in most radical “pro-aborts”. They spend their lives like alcoholics, trying to make sure as many others do what they did in order to not feel the condemnation coming from inside.
No Shame when God says on Judgement day "Thou Shalt not Kill" "I knew you in your mother's womb"?
Ghouls. Murdering ghouls.
The scene is a thatched building with a sign that says "pregnancy counselor" on it. A conversation bubble is coming out of the window that says:
"Your husband is a drunk who abuses you. You already have more children than you can manage, and we have proof that this child will grow deaf during its lifetime. I highly recommend that you abort, Mrs. Beethoven."
The NAZI’s felt the same way about the Jews. It was for the greater good and love of the Fatherland and the betterment of all the World if Europe became ‘Jew Free’ by any means available.
Compared to Planned Parenthood Hitler was a piker!
Had the chance to talk to one of the biggest abortion supporters in the USA. We carried on a two month long email conversation during which she openly admitted that her side has always known that the unborn child was a baby, but felt the woman’s life was more important than that of the baby.
Murder Inc. is in business for one reason government funding it never runs out of it.
Many hacks girl friends have many of them it’s why they won’t end it.
