You're welcome. I don't often talk about my abortion, but I think it's important for people like me to come forward and explain why we believe abortion should remain accessible to those who end to end their pregnancies, and just so we're clear, it did not resemble your graphic description of the procedure at all.
The method depends on how far along the baby is. Just so we're clear.
And no matter what age? Abortion kills babies. There is no getting around that simple fact.
So why would you choose to willingly have unprotected sex with a man who doesn't give a chit about you when you would be faced with such heartache and tragedy and a completely destroyed life never to recover
Are you new to this relationship thing? Do you realize that nothing always stays the same? That there are no guarantees in life?

These words are not state-specific, they are meaningful to ALL Americans. Bedrock foundational issues of human rights must transcend state lines.
Exactly. There's a reason the Supreme Court ruled on the issue of privacy in the first place. It must apply to all Americans, not just to a patchwork of Americans.

Make no mistake--the same extremists who want the government to dictate decisions about pregnancy termination are coming for the rights to use birth control and other private decisions. HUMAN rights should not end at a state border because some group decided that their god knows what's best. For a while it felt like the US was getting there but this rolling back of rights for half the US population is absolutely sickening.
Agreed. The government overreach here is astoundingly disturbing.

It is time for you to back out of this argument, because you clearly do not know what you are talking about.

And 99.9999999999999999999999999999999 percent of women would agree with you. But stuff happens.

You sure are misunderstanding that. Look up the word "choice" and get back to us.

Women who go to PP do not see a doctor for a heart to heart conversation about whether an abortion is right for them. PP doesn't have them on staff. Are you unaware of that fact?
Keep digging yourself deeper. No doubt the doctor at Planned Parenthood that examined and treated me would be interested to know that he's not really an MD.

That's it in a nutshell.

Wait ... what? Women shouldn't be allowed to make their own medical decisions? Who should be making them? Men? The government? Some bozo on an internet forum?

D&E was available to me even at an relatively advanced stage of pregnancy, but because I was hospitalized for the procedure, I delivered intact, which was the norm for the setting. It is my wish that all women who end their pregnancies have access to the same high-level care that I did.
I agree that people should be able to use their bodies as they see fit. But not when the use of their body harms others, like in my example, or in the case of an abortion.
You keeping you entire liver may harm someone that needs a transplant. You not donating bone marrow harms someone that is in need of it to live. Why are you not forced to give of your body to prevent harm to them?
Even a unique human being has no right to use another persons body against their will.
So now you agree with me that pregnant women do in fact have babies and they are pregnant with babies because you want to use that as an argument?
Which argument will make you shift back to, it's not a baby?
Nothing as consistent as the inconsistency in a pro abortioners argumentation.
Pro-life: same argument. 1 argument. Every time.
Killing someone else because you feel like it is wrong.
