It's a matter of convenience. | I said this to you in another thread and i shall happily repeat myself here dear friend:
I have NO clue where you get the idea that women get abortions because they are convenient. Explain how they are convenient please.
As far as i know, a surgical procedure is not convenient. As far as i know hormonal disturbances are not convenient. As far as i know, emotional turmoil is not convenient. As far as i know nothing about an abortion is CONVENIENT. It may be felt that it is necessary.. but i have never ever heard it being called a convenient method of contraception. Where did you hear that? I would appreciate it if you could clarify that before you use this argument again. Quote: |

This is not a campaign against them. This is a campaign FOR the right to choose. Two interlinked yet separate issues.
Abortion is a very traumatic experience precisely because it is a potential human we talk about. But like i said, the discussion is about who decides the fate of the unborn child. Should it be the mother, or should it be a stranger on a moral high horse Love for all, Hatred for none |
