Comment by Riomarcos on January 4, 2011 at 3:12pm: Stop Anti-Women Groups From Shaping Reproductive Health Policy

Help ensure women's reproductive health is covered in preventative care: tell the Department of Health and Human Services to listen to women, not the Catholic Bishops, and mandate free access to birth control.

Comment by TNT666 on September 20, 2010 at 12:29pm: Before I had my first abortion I was traumatised yes, but at the tought of having an unwanted child. And worse, I was traumatised at the thought of all the women in history who've had to birth unwanted children. I cried for these women. I had a hard time finding a doctor for my first abortion, and had I not found one I likely be dead today as I'd started walking in front of cars to end this unwanted burden.

Comment by Prog Rock Girl on September 20, 2010 at 8:29am: I think some have tried to counteract the "I had an abortion and I'm traumatized" horror stories (there are plenty of people who haven't been traumatized, but also in countries where abortion isn't so taboo, fewer people are traumatized) but basically the mainstream perception is that having an abortion is traumatic. I've seen some stories where people said they were just fine.

Comment by Jaimie Mercer on September 20, 2010 at 7:05am: My friend has an appointment at the clinic next week. I have absolutely no problem with abortion. I never have, and I never will. In fact, I think more people SHOULD abort their pregnancies.
However, not everyone thinks the way I do and that's what makes the world so wonderful...And frustrating.
My friend wasn't brought up to think like I was.
She feels so guilty about her decision to abort.
She's very young. It was an accident - faulty contraception. She is unemployed and irresponsible. She would be a very poor mother and custody of her child would most likely go to someone else.

She is making the right and ONLY choice in my opinion.
She said today she feels like she's a 'terrible person' for making this decision.
No matter what I say it doesn't seem to help.
I wish there was more positive information about abortion out there. She's surrounded by negativity.
Even a simple search in google comes up with horrific images and pro-life/religious propaganda.

If anybody knows of any worthwhile resource that could comfort my friend right now it would be of great help.

Comment by Prog Rock Girl on May 10, 2010 at 4:33pm: It's true that if we are going to talk about choice, then a person has a choice either way. I don't see a problem with someone talking about their choice either way, except that I am pro-abortion (or pro putting birth control in the drinking water) because of overpopulation. Still, some people are going to have children...unfortunately it's all the people who will make our future an Idiocracy...

Comment by Clarence Dember on May 10, 2010 at 3:19pm: The legislature is required to do more than override a gubernatorial veto when responsibly finely crafting the laws. Dropping the context of any pregnancy when legislating the scope of medical procedures pertaining to pregnancies is less than what legislative work requires. Faith should not come into the process of finely crafting legislation which in Oklahoma faith evidently is being substituted for the context and content of legislation!

Comment by TNT666 on May 7, 2010 at 2:22am: the leitmotiv "pro-choice" instead of pro-abortion is finally coming back to bite us in the ars, now conservative women are spouting off their 'choice' to have babies, I am so disgusted. I am beyond pro-choice, I am pro-abortion, I just wanted to be clear about that. And especially pro-abortion for all religious tard parent wannabees.
