Abortion has nothing to do with fertility or “birth control (preventing conception),” except that a botched abortion may cause infertility.

IMO, everything is a risk factor. But, not arguing, just noting.:)

And some people get mad and so no one is pro-abortion.

I read my first article from Salon yesterday.

Here’s the link: http://www.salon.com/2015/01/25/i_do_not_care_about_your_baby_partner/

It’s not likely I could stomach two of their pieces in as many days.

No global warming over there; their hearts are cold as ice.

Blessed Mother Teresa, please pray for us.

I am anti-abortion because it murders the most helpless of human beings.

Tarico is obviously gay and athiest which always seem to go hand in hand but it makes sense. God doesn’t tolerate lying, cheating, stealing, murdering, sexual deviancy / homosexuality, and stands in their way of “having fun”. Gonna need more coal...a lot more in Hell where there are probably going to be plenty of politicians, MSM, poll takers and propagandist writers

“Not arguing, just noting”

Except that your first comment was that you “have a problem with” the causes cancer thing. That certainly presents an argument regarding the validity of someone’s statement.

Were you to really dig into the myriad of scientific research regarding the link between abortion and breast cancer, you might just quit flippantly dismissing the findings based on what you “feel”.

In other words if your dedicated to worship at the devils alter you must be willing to sacrifice your children, or at the very least be willing to encourage others to do so.

There are Pro-Choice people and Pro-Abortion people. They are NOT members of the same group.

Yes they are! People are either Pro-Life or they are Pro-Death (Pro-Abortion)!

That kind abortionist who was willing to rip the arms, legs and head off of our sick baby in order to kill him or her for only a few hundred or thousand dollars. Yes I am so proud to be pro choice. I applaud the killing of sick, handicapped, poor, unwanted, ill timed and healthy but inconvenient children. So very proud. (Sarcasm).

Here is an except from her website:
Valerie Tarico is a psychologist and writer in Seattle, Washington. She completed her Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Iowa and postdoctoral studies at the University of Washington. She subsequently joined the staff of Seattle Children’s Hospital and ran Children’s Behavior and Learning Clinic in Bellevue, Washington, before moving to a private clinic. Eventually it became clear that social and political trends were undermining what she was trying to accomplish as a mental health practitioner: to have there be a little less pain and a little more delight in the world. She closed her practice to take on some of those bigger issues.

What a gem.

Here is the link to her website,for those interested: Valerie Tarico. Be prepared to shower afterwards.

“I’m speechless.”

I, on the other hand, am not:

1. I’m pro-abortion because...A woman who lacks the means to manage her fertility lacks the means to manage her life.
(the means to manage our fertility is no sex outside marriage)

2. I’m pro-abortion because well-timed pregnancies give children a healthier start in life.
(whereas murdering unwanted children gives children no start in life)

3. I’m pro-abortion because I take motherhood seriously....But parenting is a lot of work, and doing it well takes twenty dedicated years of focus, attention, patience, persistence, social support, mental health, money, and a whole lot more. (and Heaven forbid we allow anything difficult into someones life just because of their sin)

4. I’m pro-abortion because intentional childbearing helps couples, families and communities to get out of poverty. Decades of research in countries ranging from the U.S. to Bangladesh show that reproductive policy is economic policy.
(so abortion is profitable, Planned Parenthood is well aware of that. God too, though he may frown on murder for profit, but we can NOT believe in Him and therefore by denial, He does not exist, or does not care what we do with those He created in His own image. Is that what she’s saying here?)

5. This systematic culling makes God or nature the world’s biggest abortion provider: Nature’s way of producing healthy kids essentially requires every woman to have an abortion mill built into her own body.
(flat out admission of playing God here)

6. Do unto others as they want you to do unto them. It’s called the Platinum Rule. In this moral universe, real people count more than potential people, hypothetical people or corporate people.
(tell me she didn’t just pull this one out of her butt!)

7. I’m pro-abortion because contraceptives are imperfect, and people are too....Once settled into place, an IUD or implant drops the annual pregnancy rate below 1 in 500. And guess what. Teen pregnancies and abortions plummet—which makes me happy, because even though I’m pro-abortion, I’d love the need for abortion to go away. Why mitigate harm when you can prevent it?
(as though the creation of a human life is harm, just because it is the result of selfish sin, and killing a baby is NOT harm?)

8. I’m pro-abortion because I believe in mercy, grace, compassion, and the power of fresh starts...Who among us hasn’t had unprotected sex when the time or situation or partnership wasn’t quite right for bringing a new life into the world? Most of the time we get lucky; sometimes we don’t. And in those situations we rely on the mercy, compassion, and generosity of others...In this regard, an unsought pregnancy is like any other accident. I can walk today only because surgeons reassembled my lower leg...Three accidents, all my own doing, and three knee surgeries. Some women have three abortions.
(sin is not an accident, it is sin. The father deliberately penetrated the mother, and the mother accommodated him, not accidentally. It’s not as though Jack and Jill went up the hill and on the way down tripped and fell causing the coitus that resulted in pregnancy.)

9. I’m pro-abortion because the future is always in motion, and we have the power and responsibility to shape it well. As a college student, I read a Ray Bradbury story...In baby making, as in Bradbury’s story, the future is always in motion, and every little thing we do has consequences we have no way to predict. Any small change means a different child comes into the world.
(a brave new world this woman and her cohorts are engineering so much more wisely than God, conceived from reading sci-fi)

10. I’m pro-abortion because I love my daughter...“My Abortion Baby” was about my daughter, Brynn, who exists only because a kind doctor like George Tiller gave me and my husband the gift of a fresh start when we learned that our wanted pregnancy was unhealthy. Brynn literally embodies the ever changing flow of the future...My husband and I felt very clear that carrying forward that pregnancy would have been a violation of our values, and neither of us ever second guessed our decision...All around us, living breathing and loving are the chosen children of mothers who waited—who ended an ill-timed or unhealthy pregnancy and then later chose to carry forward a new life...“My abortions let me have these two when the time was right, with someone I loved.”...Those who see abortion as an unmitigated evil often talk about the “millions of missing people” who were not born into this world because a pregnant woman decided, not now. But they never talk about the millions of children and adults who are here today only because their mothers had abortions—real people who exist in this version of the future...When those who oppose abortion lament the “missing people,” I hear an echo of my own petulant thought: I want that person, not this one. And I wish that they could simply experience what I did, that they could look into the beautiful eyes of the people in front of them, and fall in love.
(This is...drum roll...the cherry on top of the whipped cream in this cupcake’s perfectly manipulated world: it’s for the children! We kill children for the children. Didn’t we all see that coming?)

In order for abortion to be morally acceptable, one has to believe he/she is a better decision maker than God, or believe God is not going to hold him/her responsible for his/her acts. Or maybe it helps to be a complete moron.

So it is all about you, Valerie.

So will you be held responsible for the deaths of the many children that are denied the God given right to live?

Pursue your licentious lifestyle to your detriment.

No, it is not.

Just saying.

Perhaps you should do some research.

Just saying.

II Timothy 3:1-5

1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

Exactly, totally agree.

She talks about babies and poverty too, this is close to the eugenics view of Margaret Sanger.

I’m distressed by the crime that comes out of the black community, but I’m not going to think the solution is to abort more black babies who are 3 times more likely to be aborted than a white baby. I think that is the stat “blackgenocide.org” gives.

So, this is basically what the planned parenthood/abortion/rev. sharpton/obama crowd stand for.

And you are absolutely correct, probably another homosexual atheist type for abortion.

Her comment: “In this moral universe, real people count more than potential people, hypothetical people or corporate people.”

Perhaps she should consider that Jesus died on the Cross for her sins. Is she a “real” person or just a pretender?

Oh good grief. That woman is hideous. She certainly has the
face that she deserves, and don’t worry about abortion, killer.
You are unlikely to be getting pregnant any time soon.

Ugh! Ugly inside and out.
