I have been fortunate that birth control has always worked effectively for me when I use it, even in those cases when I don't take it at exactly the same time every day. Certainly I have had pregnancy scares, as has most every woman but they turned out to be late periods or in one case, a misread test.
So I have been fortunate enough to never have had an abortion. But if I ever decided I wanted one I would not be ashamed of it, nor would I pass judgment or persecute anyone else who had one. I would be grateful I live in a wonderful country in which my right to chose is protected by anti-governmental intrusion protections.
I think people like mani who spread lies and call women who have had abortions baby killers are the worst sort of scum this board has seen. I'm sure there are women reading this thrad who have had an abortion or known someone close to them who did. Thsi thread and mani's constant harrassment must be a source of angst or anger for many of them.
I think people who act the way mani does are hiding something and have demons they are not dealing with.
