Abortion Excess Again

The loony left is making it difficult to continue my liberal leaning yet again. Where do these people come from?

Planned Parenthood has come up with a new T-Shirt – the “I Had an Abortion” T-Shirt. (No, I’m not making this up.)

This seems insane to me. I can’t think of any reason that an abortion would be morally acceptable to me that doesn’t involve a mistake, or at best circumstances beyond the woman’s control. I can see having an abortion because you accidentally (or through birth control failure) become pregnant. I can see having an abortion because you were raped or impregnated through an incestuous relationship. I can even see having an abortion to save the life of some of a multiple pregnancy. However, none of these things involve something to be proud of.

I have known exactly two people in my life who have had an abortion. In both cases, it was due to an error – an unexpected pregnancy at a bad time in their lives. In both cases, the prevailing emotion involved was shame (among others). Neither woman (one was really just a girl at the time) was proud.

Would you wear a T-shirt that says: “I Rear-Ended Someone on the Interstate”? How about “I Shoplifted”? Or “I Was Playing Ball in the House and Broke the Lamp”?

Planned Parenthood has gone too far. Abortion should be available to women who have made an error or had something terrible (again, rape and incest here) happen to them. However, I can’t think of any time that it is appropriate to be PROUD of having an abortion.

One Comment on Abortion Excess Again

    2. Mark,

    I am trying to come to terms with your explanation of when an abortion is “ok.” You say, “circumstances beyond the woman’s control,” which makes sense in the cases of rape or incest (although I still do not agree); however, in the other instances you note, these aren’t necessarily mistakes.

    Anyone schooled in biology “knows” how one becomes pregnant — therefore, I would venture that pregnancy while using birth control or pregnancy “at a bad time” is not a mistake.

    My wife got pregnant at a time we were not planning. However, even given the “bad timing,” our baby was not a mistake. We had to make major changes in our lives, including giving up her full-time salary so she can stay home and take care of him, forgoing vacations and the all the other freedoms of independence. And it still wasn’t a mistake.

    I mean no disrespect, it’s just that I can’t understand — given the fact that I have a 5-month-old son — how a child could ever be a mistake worth aborting.

Tell me what you're thinking...
