Abortionist

Saw this story this morning - I find it impressive and tragic at the same time. It's not so sugarcoated as to be glorifying the myth of 'choice', but it's also shocking to read how glib people can be about destroying life. Choosing abortion to fit into a wedding dress is a bit less 'empowering' than the myth that women must abort to save their lives. A single mother having her second abortion in two years because she can't handle the thought of someone else raising her child - a child herself being told that she at best has an egg yolk in her womb - it's all so sad. But at least the women are given a drug to get them through without a memory of the abortion. Protect them from full awareness of the 'procedure'.

The abortionist in this case is unusual in that he acknowledges he is destroying life. He acknowledges fetal development is complete at nine weeks, yet will still abort until the end of the second trimester. It's mind boggling, but I do appreciate his honesty - it's much less frustrating than the usual rhetoric denying the child is a baby.

One in three women, one in four pregnancies. Staggering.
