So you’re saying this wasn’t you who said this?

“Abortion is wrong as it is the lifting of a mother’s right to convenience or comfort in the short over the right to life of an independent human life in the long term. This is anti rational and against all moral sense. The overwhelming majority of abortions are not out of necessity, late-term or otherwise and to believe it is, is to be blind to the reality.”

Because now you’re saying this:

I do not believe it is a flippant choice made, nor do I think it is simply loose women or that there are never medical reasons or external circumstances that help to justify it within the minds of those who support it or engage in it.

It’s clear you know nothing about abortion and have no real reason to comment, other than to push your religious non-medical views about it.

So, again…

…you’ve proven the entire point of my story here.

The truth is, abortion is a volatile subject, but it’s a fact of life. It happens. What it doesn’t need is knee-jerk reactions, like calling it “murder” or shaming women who make that decision. It’s why the courts ruled that it’s an act between a woman and her physician, giving it the privacy it merits.

You can’t be the judge and jury in a case where you’ve already made a judgement. Women will go on having abortions for reasons you may never be able to understand, but ultimately their decisions have to be given some respect. And that’s something you simply refuse to give.
