No doubt there are many, many similar stories from the "bad old days", and "outlawing" abortion will only bring all that back.
And you don't think that happens now, plus deaths---it does. In the bad old days most babies were brought to term. Now around 4,000 are aborted each day. Talk about the bad old days---they are now.

I know a doctor who had to tell a women she can't get pregnant because of all the scar tissue she has from so many abortions. It's not the easy out.

I could ask you why your woman thought she needed to go get an abortion even when she was married to you. How horrible. I can see why she is your ex-wife.

That sort of question is not only none of your business, it's just rude. But it is an excellent example of the self-righteousness, busybody arrogance, and generally mean-spirited attitude that seems to permeate much of the ironically-named "pro-life" movement.

Thank you Zimbochick! You are absolutely correct. I have also found that most of the same people who oppose abortions are the very same people who want to cut social programs that will help children born to families in poverty. They care about the child until he or she is born, and then the poor b@#$%rd can starve because we dare not raise taxes on anyone.

Just a way to get the point across. Sometimes truth hurts like telling someone about cancer and someday everyone will die. Hard truth but still truth.

Go look at the abortion videos on youtube. Harsh but true.

Go debate the women on the forced abortion web site I posted. Tell them and see what they answer. You want truth, go get it.

He never said he was married to his x at the time she got an abortion. You like to make unfounded assumptions from other people's posts and even stoop to adding things to their posts that they never said if it will help you make your (faulty) point.

No one is stopping him from posting again. Correct me if I am wrong.

Plus if they were unmarried at the time, abortion is no way to start a relationship.

See, here's the thing - IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!

Abortion is between a woman, her doctor, and her partner (if involved). It has nothing to do with you or me.

And he did post again, didn't he, and he said it was none of your business. The women in question could have had the abortion before he even met her for all you know.
