Re: Keith Ablow: “Men should be able to veto women’s abortions”
Religion is a deeply personal experience. The fact that people experience religion and God different than you do is their business, not yours. Likewise, a lack of belief in religion or God has no effect on your faith.
Your statement of a woman destroying herself through abortion is AMAZINGLY naïve. Having had serious consequences of pregnancy (SEVERE health crisis, including surgery and effects that plague me 20 years later)and knowing women who have died as a result of pregnancy......legal abortion rarely causes major health crisis and death. If you looked up some stats on the subject you probably would not believe them.
Aside from the physical effects of pregnancy, there is a tremendous financial burdoun as well. This includes time off (frequently totally unpaid) loss of seniority, loss or promotion. Personally - I was off over 6 months due to complications. I lost tens of thousands of dollars. I lost seniority. I lost a promotion. I had to cobra my medical on top of all of my medical bills and lack of a paycheck. Legally - after 12 weeks I could have been fired - but some extra credentialing kept me on the books.
By the way, I do not agree with abortion. BUT HELL IF I AM GOING TO INSIST SOMEONE GO THROUGH WHAT I DID.
But it is crystal clear you feel some God given need to control women's bodies. Sad.
I am not sure why you would say that I am amazingly naïve. Not all women suffer but many do. In fact, it would really be naïve to think or believe that all women are happy and glad to abort their babies and then do a happy dance. I think that it is you who are naïve..
And why do I need to listen to another sob story about how women suffer when it is clear that they DO suffer but not to the extreme that you portray here. I know women do suffer, but if you are telling me this just to get my sympathy you are seriously mistaken. You women have tried this on me before, and it did not work then. So what gives you the idea that it will work now?
I am sure that the number of women who suffer and die is a great number, but I am sure that it doesn’t happen to the majority of women. There are I am sure many women who bear 3 or four kids.. all without the near death experiences that you portray. So by your theory, all men who fall in love, and marry these women, are just signing their wife's death certificates. My mother is 88 years old and she is still around. How did she escape death after delivering four kids. I have five aunts and four of them gave birth to large families without any great fear of death. My sister gave birth to 3 kids. She came out all right. We have a very large family and I feel compassion or women who go through what you describe. But I am not dwelling on it either. Naïve?

But I wonder why you all want abortion so badly that you come here and lie. I want the real reason. Not these excuses for fighting to keep abortion. I know what you’ll tell me, I have heard it all before. But enough with the lies. Lets hear some truth.

And I do not want to control women's bodies despite what you think or say. Tell the truth.
