We need to do so with love, support, caring, donating our time, and anything else possible.<BR/><BR/>The abortion problem certainly doesn't magically disappear if we can make it illegal.Tonal Blisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03198001091701514327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-8574720451963413092008-09-16T18:37:00.000-04:002008-09-16T18:37:00.000-04:00Brenda,I will pass your kind words along to Tom an...Brenda,<BR/><BR/>I will pass your kind words along to Tom and Eileen Smith.<BR/><BR/>I think both sides tend to be a bit over-simplistic, with prolifers assuming that re-criminalizing abortion will make it mostly go away, and prochoicers assuming that making it legal made the problems go away. <BR/><BR/>Even with restored laws against abortion, we will sill need efforts to reach out to at-risk women. Though legalization increased pressures, even before legalization women were having unwanted abortions they were being pressured or forced into. It just wasn't as big a problem.<BR/><BR/>So! Lots of work to do! Eternal vigilance and all that.Christina Duniganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785550737493692252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8395646.post-40534430779221882862008-09-16T09:24:00.000-04:002008-09-16T09:24:00.000-04:00I am so moved by your story.

But, because I cherish ALL human life, I did not necessarily think we should take a hard line appoach to the law, and rip our country apart sending women to back-street abortions again. I always supported law to restrict abortion use, parent signature, etc, but to ban it completely scared me with the very likely consequences to this nation. <BR/><BR/>Also, I never felt confident that we would make progress by taking that strong position. But, I am starting to see that this stance was taking for granted that there were little complications now-a-days. I know there are always complications in any procedure, but I had no idea that some were so severe. <BR/><BR/>Yesterday, on the Sean Hannity show, I was blown away that someone, some baby, had survived an abortion. She was left with cerebal paulsey, probably as a direct result of what she sufferred in the womb. Then, as more and more research showed, that MANY babies survive abortion. I am horrified and had no idea! Then, today I stumbled across your story, and I am very strongly starting to rethink my middle-ground attitude towards abortion. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your story and I am so sorry for all that you've suffered. I do not believe that God intended or willed you to go through this, but by His grace, He can support you and help you find the comfort and create good from this tragedy. <BR/><BR/>I hope my thoughts have encouraged you to keep speaking! You are making a difference.<BR/><BR/>BrendaIndymom8753https://www.blogger.com/profile/18295770732571926622noreply@blogger.com
