From a woman who had an abortion:

“It was reasonably pleasant..…It only took three minutes. You come around virtually immediately. Just feeling a bit woozy. And then, there we were in the next room, in a row, like factory farming, everybody sort of groaning because the one thing they don’t tell you is that there is a degree of pain afterwards.…. It cost $125 at the time – fantastically reasonable. Abortion is a competitive business in America and that keeps the prices sharp….. There was no question of counseling or anything like that: it was purely physical.”

Mary Kenny Abortion: The Whole Story (London: Quartet Books, 1986) 275 – 276

Pro-abortion advocate Sady Doyle comments on Katha Pollit’s idea that abortion is a great thing:

Abortion saves lives, improves lives, and makes for a stronger society. ….Personally, I like abortion. I’ve never needed one. I’m still glad to have the option. I’m glad for the people I’ve known who got pregnant at the wrong time, with the wrong people, and didn’t have their lives ruined by it.

If Pollitt gets her way, more of us might feel free to admit that, hey: We like abortion.

It didn’t save or improve the life of the baby below.

Patricia Beninato, founder of the now defunct site Imnotsorry.net, where women wrote positive stories about their abortions, said:

Yes, a fetus is alive. But weeds are life and mold is life and bugs are life and we destroy those on a regular basis. Pro-lifers want to give the impression that abortion is someone ripping a full-term baby out of a woman’s womb and dashing its brains out against the nearest wall, when in actuality the average abortion-nearly 90 percent-is done within the first trimester.

Even in the first trimester, at 10 weeks, the baby is far from being mold. He or she is a fully developed child.

Even at the average time most abortions are done, the embryo is far more developed than Beninato acknowledges. 

 

This is what is left behind in the average abortion at 7 weeks:

Patricia Beninato, who once ran a site called Imnotsorry.net where women shared positive abortion stories, says that abortion is birth control:

One of the peeves I have is that there seems to be a mindset even within the pro-choice community that having to get one abortion is OK, but anything after that and you’re a dumb slut who doesn’t know how to use birth control. I often hear younger women say things like, “Well, yeah, the condom can break or whatever, but I don’t believe in people using abortion as birth control.” Um . . . abortion is birth control, just a more expensive and intrusive version of it.

From pro-abortion supporter Joyce Arthur:

“So all in all, a woman’s reasons for having an abortion are ethical. … A fetus becomes a human being when the woman carrying it decides it does. Pro-choice leaders and activists are wrong to encourage debate on the status of the fetus. They are wrong to publicly speculate on its moral value. Their opinion about the fetus is just as irrelevant and just as dangerous as the opinion of the most fanatical anti-choicer. Because when we inject our opinions about the fetus into the public square, it just shows our lack of respect and trust for the moral authority of pregnant women. “

Joyce Arthur. “The Fetus Focus Fallacy.” Pro-Choice Press [Pro-Choice Action Network], March 2005

If a woman decides her five year old is not a human being, does that make him not one?
