I am creating this thread to solicit responses from members and perhaps make some new members who might want to share their story of post abortion regrets and/or remorse. This is a serious topic, and I hope to not get negative responses from pro-abortionists who would like to discount the subject matter, or who would like to dispute its existence. There are many who have gone through abortions who suffer long term physical and psychological effects of their experience. Please do not diminish or ridicule anyone who does respond. Try to be sensitive to their real life accounts. Here you will find links to webpages that have some actual accounts of women (yes, and some men) who have had exactly this type of experiences: http://www.abort73.com/testimony/ http://www.silentnomoreawareness.org/testimonies/index.aspx Here also, a list of women who died as a result of "safe" legal abortions: http://www.priestsforlife.org/brochures/maternaldeaths.html I post this to point out that women, not just their children are also victims of abortion. This is why I do not feel they should be punished, but rather treated as victims.
If you are genuine about the issue then you should also have links to sites where women say they had no regrets or feel victimized or any other negative effects.
Why would I do that? What you are saying is that I am disingenuous because I do not provide experiences which run counter to those I wish to solicit? Perhaps you might like to start a thread regarding testimonials about what a wonderful experience women had during their abortions, but I doubt you will find many takers. That would be something that I would find rather unwelcome on this thread however. It is counter to the purpose of this thread.
That was my intent but I still have to deal with your idiotic remarks too. Why is it exactly you fell compelled to post your irrelevant drivel here?
It has occurred to me, a mistake as it turns out, that you may have started the thread in an attempt to seek the truth, the whole truth not just one side of it. Which raises the question, why would you be interested only in partial truth? Why don't you share with us the purpose of this thread then?
You are right, you have made a mistake. I am not interested in stories of women that have had good or even unremarkable experiences during abortions. I am not interested in partial truth, I am interested in the whole truth regarding abortion experiences which have had a negative impact on women. As for the purpose of this thread, it is stated in the OP: "to solicit responses from members and perhaps make some new members who might want to share their story of post abortion regrets and/or remorse."
How do you think by limiting responses to only regretful experiences you will prove some kind of point?
All of the threads here are focused on one specific point related to the topic of abortion, why do you object so to the discussion of this aspect?
I think it is an excellent topic. And i do think men ought to stay out of it other than just casual remarks.
You are evading. The forum is for debating the abortion issue not story telling. What possible purpose could stories that only show one side of an issue serve? Why are you afraid of the stories that go against your premise?
wuh. it called a discussion board. That's what the first poster tried to set up. If you don't want to discuss it then just run along.
Yes and that implies posting something relevant to the topic not moronic remarks as he usually does, or did you think that that amounted to something relevant? Yes and I made a remark regarding why it is incomplete. It seems that I was not the only one who observed that shortcoming. So what is it exactly that you are commenting about? If grasping the topic is above your head then perhaps you should stay out of it. if not do make an attempt to post something that at least skirts relevance.
I too would like to hear stories of regret Maybe we can also get victims of abortion to post here as well............oops, they're dead
MY question was better, but has yet to be answered. If the OP is an attempt to prove something, then what?
His question was 'Do you regret....?' That seems to me to encompass those who have no regrets about it. I really didn't think there would be any respondents. How would you have posed the question.
Because you believe there are no positive abortion experiences? http://women.webmd.com/news/20000822/study-says-most-women-dont-regret-abortion
If I was aborted, I wouldn't regret it. Lifers don't understand that you can't regret something if you never existed.
