I feel like the party was two days ago and that I am just showing up. <BR/><BR/>I hope anonymous is packing up and moving to South Dakota or Colorado, since the electorate there could use their wisdom, given the results of the pro-life referendums there Tuesday.<BR/><BR/>Remember when abortion came up in the third debate? Obama, who has never wavered his pro-choice stance, talked about finding a "common ground." McCain's response was nothing more than a scoff about how "the woman's health" is a cover for any reason to have an abortion. There is the fundamental difference between the two sides on this issue. No one is "for" abortion. I've never heard anyone espouse the convenience of having an abortion. <BR/><BR/>I'm not a woman (obviously) and since I will never have a baby growing inside of me I cant help but be pro-choice, or as I prefer to call it, "pro-none of my business." Were I woman, it would drive me crazy that men were trying to regulate my reproductive rights. I recall that when Bush signed the partial-birth (a term, by the way, created by the pro-life group and pretty much a fallacy) abortion ban that he was surrounded by a group of men. Not a woman in sight.<BR/><BR/>Sorry for the long-ish comment. I'm looking forward to reading and hearing the apoplectic rants of the McCain crowd for the next four years.Des and Evan's big daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12214597981806066462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-43167483226576036192008-11-06T10:34:00.000-05:002008-11-06T10:34:00.000-05:00I am glad that the choice was there for me in 1997...I am glad that the choice was there for me in 1997. I went to the ER during the course of what I thought was a miscarriage to get checked out and they confirmed that their was nothing left in my uterus and sent me on my way. No abortion performed then but I did pick up pneumonia from a nurse and ended up in ICU where they found I had steadily increasing pregnancy hormones. It turned out I had an ectopic pregnancy. The embryo was lodged in my left fallopian tube. If the doctors didn't intervene I could have died or been reproductively maimed. The doctors were able to save me and my effected tube.<BR/><BR/>Do I sometimes wish I had that child with me now? Do I sometimes sit and wonder if that would have been the daughter I wanted? Yes and yes, but I don't regret what transpired. Two years later I felt a familiar pinch that signals ovulation on that left side and I now have my son Ryan. If abortion hadn't been available when it was, Ryan wouldn't be here now. <BR/><BR/>My ultimate fear is that once you give the government the right to intervene and say you cannot due something it also gives them the precedent to intervene and say that you MUST do something. I remember how the impoverished young women at the WIC clinic were pressured onto birth control hormone sticks implanted under the skin. I don't want to imagine an America where we have the GOVERNMENT HAVING THE POWER to intervene on whether or not my grandchildren get to be born. That is why I am "pro choice"...not because abortion is some kind of great magic but because it is a medical tool and I believe that the decision to use that tool should lay solely in the hands of the family involved.<BR/><BR/>Kristi JWoolysheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081381687156224381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-736448434152217111.post-53076223608928886872008-11-06T10:09:00.000-05:002008-11-06T10:09:00.000-05:00Look at all this I've missed!

Coat hangers vs. Physician assisted? at least the woman has a larger chance to live with the Physician. Being a victim of rape, believe me, the fear that something would come of that trauma and violence (such as a baby) holds you in just as much fear than the fear and memory of the rape itself. <BR/>By the way Beth, I finally made it over here. Thank you so very much for your wonderful comments and friendship (I hope) they made me/make me feel much better. Wooohoooo I'm so glad that Obama won, I was terrified of McCain winning.

I'm in love with Dan and Dirk (I'm so fickle!). I suspect that Marc is correct and that no response is the best antidote to the postings of unwanted comments. However, just once more, I have to throw in my two cents worth.<BR/><BR/>Abortion is a serious subject and as commenter after commenter has demonstrated, we recognize that. We also recognize that is a complex subject involving the interconnection of the mother's life with that of the fetus. <BR/><BR/>The law does not force anyone to have an abortion; it just doesn't force anyone to have a child either. In Anon's world, the rest of us would get to tell a woman who does not wish to proceed with a pregnancy that she must have then child. Once the child is born, I would assume that Anon also supports that the government (that's we the people) should provide for the care of the child, nurture and raise this child to adulthood. It only seems fair if we are going to make the decision for the mother as to having the child.<BR/><BR/>I don't find abortion to be a good solution. In a perfect world every pregnancy would be met with joy. Children would be loved and cared for by their parents. Regrettably, even children who are born are not guaranteed that they will receive love.<BR/><BR/>I don't doubt that some women who have abortions are later filled with regret. My heart goes out to them, but I still am unwilling to substitute my judgment for theirs. <BR/><BR/>The most telling comment that Anon writes is this: "Take it for what it's worth but if you can't stand the killing of innocent animals, then you shouldn't tolerate the killing of innocent human babies. That's the point. That's been the point from the first comment."<BR/><BR/>As I earlier surmised, there was never any real question being raised. Anon's intent was to attack Beth, to tell Beth that she is wrong. To insist that Beth must share the views that Anon shares or else Beth is a cruel, heartless person, unlike Anon who is filled with Christian charity. <BR/><BR/>I shouldn't be surprised that Anon feels comfortable in telling other people what they should believe or think. Ultimately that is what Anon asks us to do when a woman finds herself pregnant, tell her what she must do and what she must do. <BR/><BR/>There is nothing in the current law that prevents any organization or individual from offering counseling services to pregnant women who are contemplating having an abortion. There is no cover up of the process and what it entails. As a matter of fact, a search of the Internet will turn up many sites on the subject from the purely clinical to the sites that are opposed to abortion. I would agree with Anon that any woman contemplating having an abortion should be fully informed before making her final decision, but it is her choice to decide to seek out information. I don't presume to know the emotional trauma that a women contemplating abortion faces and I certainly do not condone forcing her to listen to or view information that she does not wish to know; it is her choice. It is between her and her God, or whatever power in which she believes.<BR/><BR/>You see, Anon, God is funny about human beings setting themselves up in judgment over others in matters of spirituality. I seem to recall a bible verse that reads, "Judge not lest ye be judged." However my favorite is the one about not pointing out the splinter in your neighbor's eye and failing to notice the plank in one's own eye.<BR/><BR/>We all have planks in our eyes and most of us are guilty of spending time pointing out the splinter in our neighbor's eye, blinding us to our own faults. I have decided to accept on face value that you believe that you are serving some higher purpose by your continued harassment of Beth and her friends who visit these pages. However, I would suggest that you climb down from the pedestal on which you have placed yourself and take a good look at your motives, and ask yourself if you speak in the name of God or in the service of your own ego?

Know what? They feel the same as women who have had abortions due to incest, teenage pregnancy, unplanned pregnancy within a marriage, and all other sorts of unplanned pregnancy. When it's all said and done, they all say the same thing: "I wish I had never made that choice. I wish they told me I would feel this way. I wish they hadn't lied to me. I felt pressured into the abortion. I wanted the baby even though..."</I><BR/><BR/>Bullshit. Wow. I mean, that's a special kind of bullshit right there. It's all deep and fudgy like the bull wasn't getting enough fiber or something.<BR/><BR/>There are also the logical fallacies of appealing to numbers and emotion which tends to throw a whole fuckload of fail into your little soliloquy against the wonders of abortion. I don't care what those people think. I happen to love abortion and women who have abortions. We don't need people like you unloading a guilt trip on everyone. Women who have abortions should get cake instead of the nonsense and lies which you shovel upon them. <BR/><BR/>Seriously. Live in the real world instead of lying to us about working at a post-abortion counseling agency when no such thing even exists.Daniel Poehlmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04464025697641476686noreply@blogger.com
