The above link takes you to a story about a woman, Alison, who decides to abort her child and her rationlization for doing so. :banghead:

**Alison confessed in her essay that she was part of a happily married couple, that she and her husband were in good physical health, and that they both had jobs and health insurance. She even said, “Walter and I were pretty good candidates for parenthood.” **
**(T)he story I most want to tell—and one I have never heard—is of abortion as an intimate part of a couple’s life together. Our abortion was a love story. I’d worried that Walter and I were rejecting a gift from the universe. What I discovered, though, was that when we stripped away the distractions of everyday life so that we could make this difficult decision together, it bound us together as surely as if our choice had been different—and as it turns out, that was the gift. **
 
The woman apparently understand also that her child was a human because the article describes a ceremony that they invented for the death of their baby.

***few days later at the breakfast table, both Alison and Walter wrote a letter. Then, they went and sat on a riverbank. Alison read her letter aloud. “Dear potential person,” she said, “Thank you so much for coming along.” She then started to cry. She wished “it” well, told “it” she hoped “it” found another home, and pulled the blossom off a flower and threw it into the river. ***
***Walter cried, too, as he read his own letter to the aborted fetus. He, too, tossed a flower blossom out into the river. As both Walter and Alison’s flowers floated away, he said “I hope to God they don’t wash back ashore here.” The couple then burned their letters and kept the flower stems to take home, as a reminder of the baby. Alison proclaimed “It was a good ceremony: earth, air, fire, water, and words.” ***
 
This difficult decision…a gift…her baby is dead. That’s the gift? That it brought her closer to her husband, stripping away distractions and deciding to kill the child together? I still can’t believe I just read that. I am reeling here. I want a smilie for reeling and passing out on the floor. I hope God is merciful a little longer to our society.

I read the entire article, and omg, that is downright disturbing.😦 I don’t know when I’ll ever stop being surprised by this society.
 
Oh. My. Word.

I was horrified enough to read an article about Plan-B that talked about 3 women who took it and how there abortions were “private” and “intimate”. Each of the 3 women were married, healthy, and had jobs. There was simply no reason, other than convenience, as Mother Teresa said, for them to abort. The political line is always about teenagers, sick women, the extremely poor–but reality is that ordinary, average women are having abortions. And you know that 40 years ago the couple in the OP’s article and the 3 couples I read about would all have had there children and ended up being just fine. So sad.

I think that a lot of people who support abortions are under the mistaken assumption that only very desperate women get abortions. But this is not always true. Some women choose to kill their unborn babies because they are inconvenient.

The woman in the article states that she and her hubby thought of adoption but they decided that if she carried the baby nine months they would be unable to emotionally give it up. So, they chose to kill it instead.:confused: 😦
 
This is disgusting. Unfortunately, this is the reason why most people abort. Not because they are poor, or have been raped or anything like that. They just don’t want the baby. So they kill it.

Maybe the abortionist should have brought the mangled child out to them so she could apologize directly. Despicable.
 
The fact is that the baby was never considered as a true human. S/he was considered a “potential thing”. So sad, and sadder still is the fact that the mother is now in the position to counsel young confused women that will listen to her IMHO warped sense of morals.
 
Couldn’t bear to read the whole text so I didn’t.

However, can conclude:

This Walter + This Allison = 2 Egomaniacs (at best)
 
I couldn’t read it all as well.

I think I’m going to puke.

Lord have mercy.
Christ have mercy.
Lord have mercy.

As my husband likes to say…straight ticket to hell. I pray for their souls.

Thank you for sharing this article. It is a sad, sad situation indeed but one which more people need to be aware of. In the current society, all children are expendable if they seem to be an inconvenience.

😦

Peace be with you
 
:mad: Wow, that is one of the most terrible human beings I have ever heard of. What a horrible person.
 
I love how the article implies that a woman with a baby suddenly becomes too stupid to write a book, and that moving a child from one part of the country to another is some terrible punishment for a child. I knew lots of students in my school who were immigrants, and they never regarded it as a punishment.

I have a co-worker like this. She had an abortion the year I was born, also for selfish reasons. That’s why I don’t buy into the whole “Project Rachael” movement.

Women who have abortions don’t need pity, what they need is to spend the rest of their lives rotting in prison. We don’t have anything similar to “Project Rachael” for anyone who murders anyone else.
 
This is one of the saddest, most bizarre articles ever. Keeping money aside for an abortion? Since she gets attached to animals at the pet store, she doesn’t want to get attached to her own child? Abortion strengthening her marriage? :bigyikes: This person counselling young women?? :bigyikes: :bigyikes: :bigyikes:
 
This is very sad indeed.
One thing I wondered though, was, the legtimacy of the baby. Was the baby really his?
This is really sad.
 
I wonder if it is a true story. I realize people have abortions, but has anyone ever referred to the situation as a “love story”? That is truly heart-breaking to hear. The person acknowledges how hard it is for some of her friends to get pregnant, but her act was unplanned. It just seems like total shock value begging for attention.

Alison needs our prayers. I read her blog and she is definitely not claiming to be Christian. Unfortunately, it seems that some people have been condemning her to hell, which is no one’s decision but God’s. What she did was grave matter for sure, but she may very well repent some day. I just hope it is before any woman in a similar situation goes to her for advice and actually follows it.
 
I think prayers are in order for these three… let us not forget what we may someday be capable of, with satan’s help…

Remember the passage from the bible fortelling how things will be all backwards and mixed up…doing wrong will become right.

Pray for these people, they are human just like us…

God will get us eventually, whether it is on our death bed, or tomorrow morning. He will find us.

I remember hearing a story about a saint. I can’t remember his name, but he was a brother. Anyways, when he entered a town, the boys of the town began pelting him with rocks and accusing him of sins, “murderer!” “adulterist!” “thief!” “God hates you!” to which he replied “yes! yes! yes! yes he does! i am worthless!” Of course these things weren’t true, but he recognized that without God he was capable of any kind of evil. We are no less this way 😦

Most women who have abortions are pressured or deceived into it. Sure, it’s still a sin, but it’s even more the sin of those who pressure and deceive them. Knowing one’s child really is dead is enough punishment for a normal woman. The woman described above is deceived, apparently, into thinking her child is only potential, not really already there. If she knew the baby was really a person already, I doubt she’d have done it. Yes, abortion is wrong, but it’s a strange kind of sin, for most who commit it don’t comprehend tha tthey are killing osmeone until afterwarda dn then the realization can hit only years later, and it can destroy the woman.
