I don't mean to start an uproar but there is a saying, "Do not pass judgement on.....".
Another thing, the word, "abortion" is not mentioned or given reference to in the bible. It's your choice to take it out of text.
As someone who is not only pro-choice(BY THE WAY, I think most people on earth would consider themselves, Pro-Life), I attend conferences and lobby to make sure that reproductive choices are a right and available for all women, regardless of color, class, religion, etc., (health clinics, gyn. exams at low cost or free, birth control, and yes abortions).
Through my research, I've found out that a lot of Anti-Choice groups make it seem like abortions are done by the bad teens, hookers, loose women, and those other bad people. And these types of people are having this procedure done late in the pregnacy, when in fact, "1.4 percent occur in second half of pregnancy usually when there is severe complication"(mother may die, fetus developed with no brain or organs missing, two heads, etc. (Journal of the Amer. Medical Association, Aug. 26, 1998.) When in fact, 55% of these responsible, usually educated, well incomed women already have at least one child.
Abortions are not dangerous(fewer than 1 out of 100,000 have complications(Journal of Amer. Medical Ass., Dec. 9, 1992) and it DOES NOT cause psychological damage or moral decline.
I have many issues that would be a website in itself but I will say this. All women that go through this are not bad people. And some Christian groups go to far by claiming "PRO-LIFE", then shooting doctors(Barnett Slepian in NY), nurses, and volunteers.("From 1984-2000, around 2500 acts of violence were committed against health care workers that provided abortions", National Abortion Federation). Not to mention, some of these same groups that stand out side of these clinics, WILL NOT OFFER TO ADOPT these poor children(especially if they are of color. Let's face the truth.)
If these groups succeed in making abortions illegal(which this will actually kill women, because abortions are going to happen anyway), the next thing that is going to be fought against is your birth control pills and shots.
I hope this large(but little) bit of information will open your eyes a little. I apologize for the length.
