Default Abortion is a Blessing

You know how pro-choice advocates like to say "Yes, we'd rather see lower abortion counts because it's a procedure that we wish didn't have to be done."?

Well you can just throw that line out da window...

Our Work is Not Done

Quote:
When a woman finds herself pregnant due to violence and chooses an abortion, it is the violence that is the tragedy; the abortion is a blessing.

When a woman finds that the fetus she is carrying has anomalies incompatible with life, that it will not live and that she requires an abortion – often a late-term abortion – to protect her life, her health, or her fertility, it is the shattering of her hopes and dreams for that pregnancy that is the tragedy; the abortion is a blessing.

When a woman wants a child but can’t afford one because she hasn’t the education necessary for a sustainable job, or access to health care, or day care, or adequate food, it is the abysmal priorities of our nation, the lack of social supports, the absence of justice that are the tragedies; the abortion is a blessing.

And when a woman becomes pregnant within a loving, supportive, respectful relationship; has every option open to her; decides she does not wish to bear a child; and has access to a safe, affordable abortion – there is not a tragedy in sight -- only blessing. The ability to enjoy God’s good gift of sexuality without compromising one’s education, life’s work, or ability to put to use God’s gifts and call is simply blessing.

These are the two things I want you, please, to remember – abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Let me hear you say it: abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done. Abortion is a blessing and our work is not done.

I want to thank all of you who protect this blessing – who do this work every day: the health care providers, doctors, nurses, technicians, receptionists, who put your lives on the line to care for others (you are heroes -- in my eyes, you are saints); the escorts and the activists; the lobbyists and the clinic defenders; all of you. You’re engaged in holy work.

OMG, . I could understand, though never call abortion a blessing in the first two instances, but these just highlight the self-serving mentality of these women:

When a woman wants a child but can’t afford one because she hasn’t the education necessary for a sustainable job, or access to health care, or day care, or adequate food, it is the abysmal priorities of our nation, the lack of social supports, the absence of justice that are the tragedies; the abortion is a blessing. Give it up for adoption!

And when a woman becomes pregnant within a loving, supportive, respectful relationship; has every option open to her; decides she does not wish to bear a child; and has access to a safe, affordable abortion – there is not a tragedy in sight -- only blessing. The ability to enjoy God’s good gift of sexuality without compromising one’s education, life’s work, or ability to put to use God’s gifts and call is simply blessing. It is mind boggling that these people actually exist.

I will probably get tongue lashed for this, but as far as I am concerned, abortion is murder and both the "doctor" aka "butcher" who performs it should be charged and the woman who requested should be considered an accessory.

I can understand possibly having an abortion if the woman is pregnant due to rape or her life is threatened by the pregnancy, but abortion as a form of birth control is wrong to me.

It is ironic that the people that think that abortion is a right would not have been born had their mothers exercised that right.

If there was some sort of pre-natal test that could determine if an unborn baby was going to grow up to be liberal, on welfare, or gay... I'm willing to bet the issue of abortion would practically vanish.

As funny as you intend it to be, I would believe there's an underlying grain of truth...

Yes. And if there was a test to determine if someone was going to grow up conservative, anti-gay, or a religious fanatic... those already practicing their "choice" would probably do so more often.

People are already using abortion to select their child's gender, so why not??

If they have the money and the foresight, technology can seperate out the sperm with X vs. Y chromosomes, and a couple can get pregnant with a high likelihood of whatever gender they prefer... no wasted embryos, no unwanted or aborted fetuses.

Whether or not you agree with such selective techniques in procreation or not, I would think it better to waste some sperm, than abort a fully formed fetus.

I can understand a couple that doesn't want to have their 6th child be the sixth boy (or girl), people that want to stop at a given number and have at least one representative of each gender - but this sort of selectivity will only continue until you can select hair color, eye color, height, dimples, sexual orientation, etc. etc.

I think it is good for preventing hereditary diseases - but at some point it becomes too much like a Hitleresque eugenics program for me... even if there is no selective abortion involved. Wanting to have a boy/girl, and not wanting you child to have parkinsons or MS is a reasonable use of the technology, IMHO... but, if hair color, height and eye color are so important to a parent, I think the parent needs to seek therapy.

I didn't bother reading the article. Your first comments were enough to see that again you are posting some goofy story and extrapolating to cover the entire left as liars. Why not just say "Hey look what this moron said" instead of always trying to attack more then half the country. Larry Craig is a republican and you are a repulican. Does that mean your playing footsy in public restrooms?

Pretty funny coming from someone who just started a thread called "The right is going off its rails" and saying the right are going nuts because of "a couple of things you heard"...
