Pro-choice and pro-voice: why women's abortion stories matter : Comments

By Kate Marsh, published 11/4/2011

Is it possible to feel compassion for women at the same time as denying anti-choice rhetoric?

Well said Colinsett.

Why do anti-choice people make an issue and such assumptions over post abortion grief and yet remain silent on the feelings of the many women who miscarry?

BTW. I miscarried in my teens and was completely relieved - no regrets, but also miscarried when older and ready for children and did grieve.

Anti-choice people see the issue in black and white terms only and little sincere concern for women or children (just aborted embryos - not the miscarried ones).

This is where the religious Time-warps loose the debate. All mammals comprehend the connection at birth, hence the love attachment. The human females brain-wiring's are made to deal with the lost, and since the emotional attachment of bonding has never taken place, the pro-lifers arguments are found to be in contempt of natures laws.

Remember, religion is a man-made concept, that comes from superstitious paranoid simpletons that quite frankly, didn't know sh!t from clay:)....its still the woman's choice; and if the righteous one,s don't have a problem with raising a child in a world that will never have the room for that potential human to prosper, then that show again......blatant contempt and hypocritical spin, with its all about the love for the child, and its well beings.

Leap:“and since the emotional attachment of bonding has never taken place, the pro-lifers arguments are found to be in contempt of natures laws.”

Can’t say I have been misfortunate enough to lose a baby by choice or Gods will (nice one Colinsett) but I did get the nesting thing and I believe you do bond with your baby/s before birth.

I still don’t see it as any kind of convincing argument for the pro-life crowd to over balance giving women the right to choose. It’s no small choice after all, in fact it’s one of the biggest decisions I could imagine ever making.

Runner I’m not sure what immoral brush you are painting everyone with but I swear you never used to be this sweepingly condemning, did you? The absence of compassion, understanding and forgiveness of your fellow man is alarming. Please stop sneering at everyone.

Jewely...your wisdom's chime in strong, and how your an asset in any-ones language.

"but I did get the nesting thing and I believe you do bond with your baby/s before birth." Yes I missed that bit:)

Thanks

You seem very blind to the posts. No one is asking forgiveness just trying to justify killing the unborn. Very hard to forgive someone until they come out of denial and stop promoting such abhorrent practices. We are talking about killing human beings not just stealing a little candy.

Runner, stealing candy is illegal, abortion is not.
And what's more, no-one is asking your forgiveness.
You must surely feel humble in your own presence?
