You have convinced me Kate. I hope Tony Abbott reads your very accurate article,

Sorry Kate, but like the position of most pro-choice people: shallow, callow and fallow. Like the pro-choice woman who told me: "I had an abortion....and it was a wonderful experience". Sorry, but the brutality and violence of abortion diminishes the spirit of those who would choose this act of cowardice.

Dear Francis,

I don't believe you. Either you are lying through your teeth, or the pro-choice woman was winding you up. In which case, good on her.

While Kate Mannix's post might be accused of having a little too much "earth-mother" hyperbole in it, I find your response, Francis, narrow and demeaning. How dare you assume that each woman who undertakes an abortion does so with little thought. Each woman who finds herself in such a situation has to deal with a huge range of consequences both before and after the termination. It is not so cut-and-dried as you seem to imply.

Too much of the debate is about power over women, too little is about common sense and support.

Poor KRS1.....afraid to accept reality. Her or his last comment,however, reveals the callousness of heart of this brutal act. Many would have said the same, i.e. "good on you", to the Nazis.

Amazing isn't it, how soon ignoramuses cite Hitler on OLO. Francis, my position isn't one of callousness. As a man, I respect the human agency of women. When it is my foetus, then i'm within my rights to demand a say in its future. When it's not, I can't. All the women I've known who've had an abortion did so with great sadness and after great soul-searching. I expect most women do. And if they don't, so what? It's their womb, and their decision. Of course, none of this changes the fact that your story about the recreational abortionee is obviously fictional- the kind of obnoxious, insulting, pathetic fiction that zealots usually compose about their opponents.
