The Plaintiff in Roe vs Wade said the SAME thing years ago and now is AGAINST abortion and if had the chance to do it over would NOT go through with it.
And for every woman who regrets it there are hundreds that don't.
The point -- is choice.
Give women the choice.
Talk out loud about sex, the consequences and even abortion.
Of course it's the worst thing she's ever done....what's worse than having your child killed?
How many of these unwanted children have you taken under your wing, or how many have you helped families adopt ? I bet none. All your side wants to do is preach about "a baby" and how wrong it is, but you do not want to be part of the solution.
In fact, you would also love to dismantle Planned Parenthood, whose primary function is EDUCATING women and young girls, so they can prevent unwanted pregnancies. So easy to be a Monday morning quarterback, when you have no one in the game.
They don't all regret it. My fiance had an abortion at 19 (she's 30 now) and still doesn't regret it, as she knows having a baby then in the circumstances she was in would have ruined her life
How so? She could've easily given the child up for adoption.
and yes Planned Parenthood has helped many young ladies carry on with their pregnancies.
Defund them and make abortions illegal -- you don't get rid of abortions -- you get rid of safe options for women and the opportunity for quality health care for those that may choose to carry on with their pregnancy.
I've never heard an abortion described or advertised in the way you have just worded that. Never.
I've never seen abortions celebrated. I have certainly seen them protested.
I agree that women should hear all sides of the ramifications of abortion before they make the choice to do so and I take no issues with Sharon Osbourne telling her story. However, hindsight is always a wonderful thing. It's extremely easy for Sharon Osbourne, who ended up living a very charmed and rich life to look back and have her regrets now. We'll never know how she would have felt about having a child at 17, her life trajectory changing, not getting married to a wealthy rock star, etc. and what that decision would have had on her entire life.
You're joking right? Many celebrities have said that they wished they had had an abortion. Or proud that they did have an abortion. There was a whole thing about being proud of it.
But I guess if you equate money as better then having a child -- as YOU indicate in what you wrote about it, shows YOUR values, not hers -- well, I guess that's what YOU value. Money over child.
You can't speak for Sharon Osborne. She is saying very clearly that abortion was a horrible thing to do. You can't spin her words any other way. Or play a game of what ifs that has nothing to do with her comments.

Multiple problems with that
- carrying an unwanted pregnancy to term has health and mental effects, both not good
- over half of women who set up an adoption while pregnant change their mind after giving birth, to their own detriment, as a time like that doesn't give you good reasoning ability, you are acting solely on emotion
- in my fiance's case, her fetus's father was a drug using deadbeat who wouldn't have signed off on the adoption anyways

You can't just make things up to support some story in your head.

The only one I know of is Lena Dunham, and she's eccentric to say the least

Nonstarter argument used every time. As in, I'm going to kill that toddler on the corner because he's going to run in the street and get hit by a car. As in, I'm going to take wrong action because another wrong action will happen maybe, possibly if I don't. Add in all the infertile couples waiting for babies and there would be no lack of families to adopt the 330,000 babies PP kills every year. Dismembers them, counts their arms and legs and spines -- yes, that's an actual job at PP, counting dead baby parts -- to make sure that they sucked it all out, then put it in a bag and wait for the pick up guy to cart it all away.
PP primary function is abortions. Each facility has monthly quotas. They get bonuses if the surpass the quota. You need to really read up on their business practices, where they make their money and how their accounting is tallied.
At least understand what you are talking about.
