@fancydude:
one thing seems to be clear - it is not so much about the "choice" of the woman or what is best for her
as it is about making money for the abortion industry.
Why would any doctor whose primary motivation is "making money" choose a field which makes them
the target of religious fanatics who would like to shoot them dead?
@fancydude:
Every woman I have discussed abortion with who has had one, adamantly insists she did the right thing.
Sure, not a scientific poll, but no regrets?
That is one strange comment from someone with your beliefs.
You do know about Norma McCorvey, right?
Norma Leah McCorvey … better known by the legal pseudonym "Jane Roe",
was the plaintiff in the landmark American lawsuit Roe v. Wade in 1973 ...
she married Woody McCorvey, but claimed he was abusive towards her.
Subsequently, McCorvey left him during the pregnancy with her first child,
Melissa (born 1965). The following year, McCorvey again became pregnant,
eventually giving birth to a baby that was placed for adoption.
She then returned to live with her mother, but when Norma intimated
that she was sexually attracted to women, her mother disowned her
and took custody of Norma's daughter, Melissa.
In 1969, at the age of 21, while working low-paying jobs and
living with her father, McCorvey became pregnant a third time ...
She attempted to obtain an illegal abortion, but the
respective clinics had been closed down by authorities.
Eventually, McCorvey was referred to attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington.
The case took three years of trials to reach the United States Supreme Court.
In her first book, the 1994 autobiography, I Am Roe, McCorvey wrote of her sexuality.
For many years, she had lived quietly in Dallas with her long-time partner, Connie Gonzales.
"We're not like other lesbians, going to bars," she explained in a New York Times interview.
"We're lesbians together. We're homers."
That same year, she converted to Christianity and expressed remorse
for her part in the Supreme Court decision.
McCorvey has worked as part of the pro-life movement, such as Operation Rescue.
At a signing of I Am Roe, McCorvey was befriended by evangelical minister Flip Benham.
She was baptized on August 8, 1995, by Benham in a Dallas, Texas, backyard swimming pool,
an event that was filmed for national television.
Two days later she announced that she had become an advocate
of Operation Rescue's campaign to make abortion illegal.
McCorvey's second book, Won by Love, was published in 1998 ...
Shortly thereafter, McCorvey released a statement that affirmed her entrance
into the Roman Catholic Church, and she has been confirmed
into the church as a full member.
She has also stated that she is no longer a lesbian.
