4. It'd help if you knew what a child was...
An embryo/fetus isn't a child. You'd know that if you'd ever been pregnant and given birth to a child. Here's the bottom line - if you believe abortion is murder, you believe every woman who has an abortion is a murderer, and there's nothing liberal about that sort of contempt for women just because we actually dare to believe that we're a bit better than just mere incubators...

Get a grip on reality. You'll never know how it feels to find out yr pregnant and to know there's a bleak future for a child if you continue the pregnancy and give birth. Or are women supposed to just drool mindlessly through their pregnancies the idiotic mantra 'Children are a priceless gift - the anti-choicers say it's so!'? A wanted and planned pregnancy can be an amazing thing, but when the pregnancy wasn't planned and you don't believe all that 'children are a priceless gift' crapola, an unplanned pregnancy can be a horrible roller-coaster of an emotional ride...

I don't feel hate or love. I feel incredible pity at the complete lack of empathy shown...

Violet...

5. A woman's right to choose trumps my objections to abortion.
It isn't any of my business what a woman feels she must do in this situation.
