Abortion - why it is necessary
I'm going to tell this story again, and I apologize to those that have heard it before. It's rather important to me, though.
I would not be here if abortion were not legal in some hospitals.
This is personal to me. I would literally not be here were it not for a father that moved my mother from a Catholic hospital. They determined that she still had a child in the womb, even while she had miscarried. My father said he could smell the decay from outside of the hospital room. The Catholic hospital would not do an abortion, even though my mother was dying of an infection, because, well, it would be a sin to save a woman's live since they somehow detected that the baby was alive - even though the stench of death was reeking. I am not making this up. This was in the late 60's.
They moved my mother to a public hospital and did a procedure that also included extracting dead tissue and a dead ... clump of nearly necrotized flesh that legislation would have considered a child because it was too dead for them to figure out if it had a heart beat or not. Had they waited another day, my mother could never bear children again, because she would have been dead. Three years later, I was born.
This is a personal issue for me. It is a personal issue for my mother. My rabidly bible-obsessed sister, who cannot carry a child to term due to heart problems and depends upon birth control is completely against abortion. I love her, despite how misguided she is and I hope that if she gets pregnant, someone is there to terminate the pregnancy that would kill her and her child.

Once again the DUmmies have no understanding. Even the most pro life person in the world would not object to a dead baby being removed from the womb, most pro life people even would go as far as to support an abortion if the mother's life was truly at risk, it would be a necessary evil and not something to be celebrated.
The comment about the sister who uses birth control as somehow being a hypocrite for not supporting abortion is even more proof that these chowder heads don't have a clue.

1. These personal stories ought to make the difference, if only the anti-choice crowd would listen...
I've been pro-choice for as long as I can recall, having been told by my Mother how her own best friend died in her late teens--a victim of a then illegal back room abortion. My mother never got over that and that story ALWAYS will stay with me.
I only hope our young women (and men) are listening.
Thanks for sharing your own very personal story.
Maybe if you would listen to the pro life people, you would have some understanding of why we believe what we believe.

7. I can't believe my mother was laying in a hospital
or what claimed to be one, and they would let her die.
My father is the one who moved her because he couldn't let her die. They've been together for nearly 50 years. So much for abortion breaking up families.
I wouldn't be here if he had listened to the idiots of the Church and "Authority".
Just wait until 0bamacare goes into full effect, people will be lying in hospitals waiting to die, and given a pain pill instead of surgery until Bloomberg finds out they are getting pain pills and he will stop that.

else.
Yet every other aspect of our health care needs to be decided by government officials.

20. You should ask your sister...
...to quote the chapter and verse what the Bible has to say about abortion.
Even if they did you still wouldn't believe it anyway.

They'll realize they're wrong when they come face-to-face with a God they didn't believe existed.

And yet, if a baby survives a botched abortion, you, along with the SCoaMF, would advocate for it's killing. EABOD, bitch.

"You should ask your sister...
...to quote the chapter and verse what the Bible has to say about abortion."
Exodus 20:13
"Thou shalt not kill"
Psalm 139:13
"For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother's womb."
Isaiah 44:24
"Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: "I am the LORD, who made all things, who stretched out the heavens alone, who spread out the earth -- Who was with me?"
Deuteronomy 30:19
"I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live".

Abortion - why it is necessary....because some people live for the moment and just don't give a damn.

No hospital in the world, Catholic or not, would do what the DUmmie said it did.

I have to agree with you on that one. No hospital worth anything would leave a person in that state.
-
I call bullshit.
Catholics are well aware of still birth and have no moral qualms about removing an obviously dead child to save the life of a living child.
If this story is anywhere near true it is a story of medical malpractice, not religious quackery as plenty of secualr hospitals could (and do) make similar mistakes.
-
Of course it's a lie.
This is DUmmy Aerows, who worried last year about the price of eggs soaring due to drought causing thirsty hens to lay fewer eggs.
She's among the DUmp's DUmbest.

Its been said here before, but it bears repeating. Once man can identify homosexuality in the womb, Abortion will be made illegal.

I don't have much time to address their usual misinformation and dramatizations(always totally wrong), but this one, as do many, seem to assume that abortion happens in a vacuum; that there were NO events that lead up to an unwanted pregnancy or that there were no other choices. Her only answer to what happened is a legal abortion, however this poor teenager at the time could not have adopted this child out? As I recall many adoptions happened in what I'm assuming is the 50's or 60's in this case. My mother is one of those. So, see dummies, I have a personal story too. IF abortion had been legal in 1950, would I even be here?
As I see it, the OP's mother's situation(if true) would have been an obvious malpractice issue unless of course the hospital in question was not equipped to even deal with what needed to be done(which is actually what might have been the case rather then an objection to removed dead tissue and her overemotional(understandable given the circumstances) father misinterpreted what was being told him. In my case, had the OP had her wish back then of something that had absolutely nothing to do with her mother's issue, I may not have been here. So exactly who should ride on the story of the personal to emotional combat in this debate? I think I'd win hands down in asking why she hates me so much;-)

Is there a liberal stink tank that makes up these stories for them or do they just make them up themselves?
