I won't make a judgement on the honesty or dishonesty of the Turnover reporting but I do point out the flaws in their methodologies which render their claim not convincing and referenced other studies with quite different findings.
And as usual straight to RAPE RAPE RAPE which is barely 1% of all abortions. And I noted you skirt my question about what is the logic in saving the baby and placing that baby into a loving nuclear family is more regrettable than killing the baby. Nor did you provide anything to support your contention.
despite what RW media belches out, liberals are not demonic, or ignorant, they are as a group more educated and have thought through all the topics involved with the abortion issue, this issue has been the driving force of the evangelical white christian political movement since the 1970s when their god finally spoke to them and told them to alter their "liberal" approach and use an "anti-abortion" stance to gain political power...god apparently spoke to their grandparents in the 1800s and told them to re-write their "bible" for a more slavery "friendly" version...ALL the apparently extraneous effects of abortion were already discussed and thought through decades ago and settled into law, but there we go again
This is really a disgusting sexist thread. What about asking regretting a rape? Come on! Let's be serious! In Europe we know that in US you are not serious, so ...
Here is a short video that shows the truth about some of the forms of regret that women go through that is often hidden from them. Do No Harm-A Short Documentary on the Aftermath of Abortion to Women
You suspend judgement on an obviously dishonest quote and trust the rest of the piece. I see where you're at. Ideology wins over reason again.
Very few IMO. I've yet to meet one I've HEARD of some. Usually on some god-botherer site with a strangely male-sounding phraseology
Regrets are always possible when one has the freedom to control one's life. When the State dictates, regrets are not allowed - unless required by the State, of course.
I have not read the entire thread. Have we figured out that women can regret an abortion and still think they made the right choice? Have we figured out that we cannot know how often that regret shows up in the course of a day, a month or a year, and how strong a feeling it represents when it does? Have we likewise figured out that a woman may feel as though she made the right choice most of the time, and still wonder or doubt occasionally? Emotional reactions to something like this, do not fall neatly into draws we can label and it is human nature to have some doubts about biggest and most consequential decisions we make. We are not really learning anything of value from these poll numbers
My girlfriend got pregnant while I was studying. We had no money to start a new family. So we thought about abortion. That was a difficult time. But finally our daughter was born. She's grown up now and we are very proud of her. Shame on all who carelessly sacrifice the lives of their descendants for an easy life.
Ya, if you have a hard life just pass it on to your descendants...as a favor LOLOL Why do you think every person in the world should do what you DECIDED to do ?
My personal experience suggests, is that any pressure to make this decision too quickly to hit some arbitrary and unrealistic target or timetable, may lead to more abortions rather than fewer. I liked the Roe timeline because it provided sufficient time for a woman or girl to see more options, and work through initial fears, worries and problem solve. As they start talking to more people that they trust, they might find solutions, they might see opportunities than if they had just a few days or couple of weeks into discovering the pregnancy. I am not sure some pro life forces, are really going to get what they purport to want, by putting intense pressure on women and girls who may be dealing with abuse, or rape or dislocation, and lack of resources to either get it done quickly, or lose access. The idea of a state legislature micromanaging this process in the first or even second trimester, seems pretty arrogant to me.
