Abortion is wonderful?

Pinko Feminist Hellcat says that "Abortion is wonderful." (Warning - profanity)

For me, abortion is not horrible, it's a godsend.

Make sure to check out all the support ("you've really outdone yourself...beautifully," "that was wonderful," "I've tried to say the same thing several times," "Really awesome post," etc., etc.) she gets in the comments section from other pro-choicers.

It's interesting because I've stood across the street from an abortion clinic on numerous occasions praying for the women who enter and I've never seen a woman enter the clinic acting like her experience is going to be "wonderful." I've never seen a woman leave after her abortion with a big smile on her face, saying, "That rocked."

    As I recall they were all either stone-faced or weeping.

    I just recalled from Carol Everett's story -- she said that one day shortly after the prolife mole started consulting with her, she came into her clinic and saw that the women in the waiting room were all weeping. She asked her staff what was wrong -- why were they all so miserable? They told her that the women were always that way. She'd just been blind to it. We have to pray that God will remove the scales from their eyes.

    It seems Pinko Feminist Hellcat has this notion that opposing the act of abortion is passing judgement on women who've had an abortion (not necessarily true). And by condoning abortion, she is supporting the women who've had one. However, her utopian idea that abortion is always a wonderful experience is a little off. First of all, having an abortion doesn't magically solve the issues or circumstances surrounding the unplanned pregnancy. Also, it's important to note that not all women experience life-threatening pregnancy complications, just like not all women have a complicated abortion. In addition, rather than abortion as the pat treatment, prenatal care and early diagnosis and treatment of pregnancy related complications is the key to a childbearing woman's health. Also, the idea that women waiting to have an abortion are celebrating and then happily skip out of the abortion clinic is waay off. Often times in abortion stories you'll hear that the occupants of the waiting room, even if it's not the story teller, were in a somber mood. If a person is laughing or joking, it's most likely to lighten up the mood and to relieve the stress of having the procedure done. Her opinion and many others like it are the minority. Most women don't take the decision to have an abortion lightly.

    "I think it's wonderful because it frees women from unwanted pregnancies, it keeps women from enduring the risks and complications that can arise from pregnancy, and it gives them say over when they will have children. If ever."
