Well I am a little late to the conversation but my initial reaaction was one ofconflicting emotions. On the one hand I was very relieved that I wasnt going to have to raise another child. On the other hand I felt like a willing participant to a murder. The feelings vascillated back and forth until the due date approached. As the due date approached the dominant feeling became simply one of relief. For me the experience didnt have any lasting psychological effects. I forgave myself for what happened and although I regret that it had to be done if I had a chance to go back to that time I would make the same decision I did back then. I would agree that the experience is one of lifes more brutal lessons on actions and consequences. And, I am much more careful now when it comes to sex.

I found lots of interesting information on health.usnews.com. The post was professionally written and I feel like the author has extensive knowledge in the subject. health.usnews.com keep it that way.

A friend of mine was passing by an abortion facility the other day; and, she told me that a gal and her guy were both crying.

In the news, just last week, a British kid killed himself when he discovered his gal had terminated their pregnancy.

no problem? or just no problem for those commentators who are "for abortion, so suck off"?

THIS:

"How hard do abortions hit men?

How 'bout, not nearly as hard as I'd like to hit men who think they should be able to hijack my body as an incubator for their sperm?"

I don't give a sh1t how much it "hurts" them. They don't have to carry a pregnancy to term. They don't have to undergo an abortion. They don't have to put up with the side effects of hormonal birth control. Until they can get the Pweshus Ickle Unborrrn Baybeez implanted in their scrota and carry it to term, they can shut up and stop complaining.

Some time ago my husband and I have decided not to have any children, a decision both he and I were very relieved and happy to make. A week later, I asked him to get a vasectomy so I could get off birth control hormones and he became very upset. He couldn't believe that I would ask him to do something that would affect him "in the future from having children".

WHAT?! Who is he going to have children with if not his wife?

I have now come to the conclusion that men emasculate themselves by acting not like men, but generally like guys. Ask any woman, it takes a MAN to raise a child and not a guy. Our problem is our society has too many "guys", not nearly enough men.

After my abortion I felt nothing but relief.
