You're right that abortion can be preferable to an unwanted child who isn't brought up properly. And it was courageous of you to have abortions yourself to avoid similar unhappy children and make the most of your own life.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for commenting. I'm also copying your comment to my latest post because it's very relevant to the points I make about good and bad parenting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-35427031519292490852008-05-03T14:31:00.000+01:002008-05-03T14:31:00.000+01:00The individual should be allowed to decide what to...The individual should be allowed to decide what to do with their own bodies and in the case of abortion ‘lives’. I had an upbringing with a mother who wasn’t cut out to be a mother and it took a lifetime to get over it. <BR/><BR/>If a human being is not carefully nurtured it is many years of pain that they experience, abortion is far kinder than un fit parents and thugs on the street which is what someone turns out to be if they have bad parenting.<BR/><BR/>The growth of a human being goes on for very many years after conception which is a small beginning.<BR/><BR/>I myself am nearly fifty and have had two abortions and I could look God (or what ever you want to call a higher spiritual order) in the face and say I am happy that I did this and the yet unborn life is also happy that I did this I am having a fantastic life for having made the right decision. Thank God for science and how many people can say their having a fantastic life. There would be two or even three miserable lives if I hadn’t had these abortions.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599821850622374224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-91005446269887880982007-10-01T22:24:00.000+01:002007-10-01T22:24:00.000+01:00Nonny took the words out of my mouth - couldn't ha...Nonny took the words out of my mouth - couldn't have said it better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-17624767153135345782007-10-01T18:24:00.000+01:002007-10-01T18:24:00.000+01:00Hi Nonny.

The law in NI is very similar to that down South - abortion is allowed in certain curcumstances only, basically if there's a risk to the mother's mental or physical health. And yes, it's sickening how so many men want to tell women what to do with their own bodies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3467242994126386706.post-62374135151901380282007-10-01T16:47:00.000+01:002007-10-01T16:47:00.000+01:00Howdy, whilst I don’t think I could ever do it mys...Howdy, whilst I don’t think I could ever do it myself I am definitely pro choice, once an abortion is sought in a reasonable time frame, the decision should be completely down to the mother. The Republic of Ireland see’s this come up ever now, you can see them gobshites in parading around the city centre with horrendous pictures of an aborted foetus and the likes. The funny thing is the vast majority of them are men. It disgusts me.

Religion hates women.<BR/>All of them.<BR/><BR/>I've never seen one example of heavily pregnant women marching into an abortion clinic. It's plain woman hating. Women should be free to make their own medical decisions.<BR/><BR/>Politicians who interfere with reproductive rights of women are pandering to the lowest common denominator.

So in the States (in some states I assume) you can't go help in Africa unless you don't touch the abortion issue at all.

And we don't need to count the ways a woman can get pregnant.<BR/><BR/>For instance, a good friend of mine, her husband refused to allow her birth control or wear condoms and DROVE her each time to New York to have an abortion when it was illegal in Canada and each time insisted she drive back to Toronto as he was "too tired". This happened four times until she finally left the sick F***, she - penniless and in a shelter. And I could go on.<BR/><BR/>The decision to abort is always a heart breaker and nearly always in the absence of a supportive partner. <BR/><BR/>And, as an aside, where in the name of the Great Invisible Cloud Being are the FATHERS of these aborted babies?<BR/><BR/>Why on earth are we still debating this and the rights of gays and the colour of someone's skin, etc?<BR/><BR/>ARGH!!!!<BR/><BR/>XO<BR/>WWWWisewebwomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281689872840844191noreply@blogger.com
