Births of a Nation

Smeal campaigns. Plus: Catered breakfasts. Caprices. The state of the world. And more.

(Page 3 of 11)

br> -- A. A. Reynolds /p>

My fiancé sent me the 4/29/04 article about abortion advocates wanting an apology for comments not even made to them. After finishing the article I was sick to my stomach. My fiancé and I had an ectopic pregnancy 2 years ago in August and I didn't have a choice in that. I had miscarried most of the baby at only 2 months. I had to take chemotherapy shots to make sure that any remaining pregnancy tissue was out so I would not get an infection -- they also do this for abortions. Having been through that and not having the choice on aborting what was left of my baby I have incredibly strong feelings on the topic. Even though there was nothing I could do to save my baby, knowing that they gave me shots like they do for abortions has done a number on my emotions. I still struggle knowing this. To hear women promoting such a thing is beyond me.

I was raised to be a "feminist" and went to one of the most "feminist" high schools. For a long time I thought women should have the choice to abort -- it's their bodies. I have since then come to God and realized how wrong and stupid I was. Women have a choice -- they made their choice when they laid on their backs! If you cannot handle the possible consequences that come with having sex you shouldn't be doing it!

The feminists want equal treatment and to be able to do whatever they want, but with that comes responsibility yet they refuse to be responsible for themselves and their actions.…

Aborting your baby because it's not convenient for you is NOT okay. For women to be out there marching around saying that Barbara should have aborted George is ludicrous. What if their moms thought they were an inconvenience and aborted them -- they wouldn't be here to march! They should feel BLESSED to live in a country that even allows them to act out! If George wasn't here to protect their "rights" to march and demonstrate where would they be? They'd be locked up in a prison somewhere and they wouldn't be yelling then would they? It's women like them that make me ashamed to be a woman. My roommate was at the march in DC and I can't even look at her now. I'm so disgusted at all of them. They want to rip on Bush about the war and all the innocent lives being lost, yet they will NEVER look at themselves and all the innocent lives they are PURPOSELY MURDERING! My fiancé said it best; it's not pro-choice, it's PRO-MURDER!

p>Sorry for such a long rant, but it just amazes me at how stupid such educated people can be. Thanks for writing such great articles. br> -- Stephanie Bogan br> Los Angeles, California /p> p> PANDER-FREE ZONE br> Re: The Washington Prowler's
