Maybe her mother should have been a better parent to begin with , and taught her daughter some basic morals. Where was her father??? That will probably tell the whole tail.

No, I dont think anyone should have any right to opt out of anything. But if we are talking equal rights, then yes. The mother has the same right.
It was her choice to raise the child knowing there is no father, let her deal with it on her own. Remember, she holds all the cards, an can decide to abort with the information she has.


But my point has nothing to do with any of this. Im totaly against abortion. It just seems to me that to many women spitfully have children with men they know dont want the child to force them to pay. And if she has a way out of that, then he should to. That is equal.

Tell your 'bs' to them.



1987-1990 APA Task Force Review

When Koop was assigned to review information on abortion, he invited input from any individuals and organizations with material to present."[16][14] The American Psychological Association Division on Population and Environmental Psychology prepared and presented to Koop their own summary of the literature and recommendations for his report. After Koop refused to issue the findings, division members published a synthesis of their own findings in which they concluded that "Case studies have established that some women experience severe distress or psychopathology after abortion" but "severe negative reactions are infrequent in the immediate and short-term aftermath, particularly for first-trimester abortions. Women who are terminating pregnancies that are wanted and personally meaningful, who lack support from their partner or parents for the abortion, or who have more conflicting feelings or are less sure of their decision before hand may be a relatively higher risk for negative consequences." [14]
The task force further concluded that "research with diverse samples, different measures of response, and different times of assessment have come to similar conclusions. The time of greatest distress is likely to be before the abortion. Severe negative reactions after abortions are rare and can best be understood in the framework of coping with normal life stress," and that "The weight of the evidence does not pose a psychological hazard for most women." [14]
Nancy Adler, professor of psychology at the University of California, San Francisco, has testified on behalf of the APA that "severe negative reactions are rare and are in line with those following other normal life stresses."[18]
In 2007, APA established a new task force to review studies on abortion published since 1989. The new task force report is expected to be published in 2008.[19]

[edit] Journal of the American Medical Association

Psychiatrist Nada Stotland of the University of Chicago, current president of the American Psychiatric Association, argued in a 1992 commentary published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA): "There is no evidence of an abortion-trauma syndrome.”[10] In 2003, Stotland wrote, "Currently, there are active attempts to convince the public and women considering abortion that abortion frequently has negative psychiatric consequences. This assertion is not borne out by the literature: the vast majority of women tolerate abortion without psychiatric sequelae."[8]


I know that anti choicer's would like to believe that women who abort suffer horribly for it, but it's just not true.

One more time: Birth control fails.

In the Know: Questions About Pregnancy, Contraception and Abortion% women who will become pregnant in their first year of useMethod Perfect use 0.3(11) Typical use 8.0(11,12)Pill

Since the pill seems to be your choice, please note that with typical use, 8 out of 100 will get pregnant EACH YEAR. Even with PERFECT use, one out of 300 will get pregnant each year (I personally think that estimate is too low).

The US population is 300 million, half of those are female, 150 million. At least one-third, maybe closer to one-half of those females are in their child-bearing years. Since not all women in the childbearing years are sexually active, let's estimate 50 million women in their childbearing years, even if all of them were on the pill, typical use would result in 4 million pregnancies.

Just to show the hypocracy of you people toting "equal rights" There is nothing equal about it.
