LOL. 🤷 I’m easily moved – there’s something about the way she phrases the difficulties some mothers experience that isn’t false (though of course – of course, of course – never justifies the act). I’m just not sure where to start.

And she wants repose from “our morality.”

Tear up? It was awful. The simplist response is summed up in her last words. She wants “relief from morality”. Sorry, that’s just not possible.

(BTW, her story sounds like high school but she looks about 30 :confused:)

Yes, she looks about 30. It’s a monologue. It’s a dramatic speech that is supposed to illicit an emotional resonse from you. It’s fiction.
 
I couldn’t listen to all the video, sorry. The reality is, in states where there is an ultrasound law the woman is not forced to view the ultrasound, she is given a choice to view which she can accept or reject. 99% of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics already do ultrasound but they do not give women the choice to view the ultrasound.

Given the gravity of killing an unborn baby, it is a small intrusion for the woman considering abortion to be given the option of viewing the ultrasound.

Many women want to see an ultrasound:

“In one of the few studies of the issue — there have been none in the United States — two abortion in British Columbia found that 73 percent of patients wanted to see an image if offered the chance. Eighty-four percent of the 254 women who viewed sonograms said it did not make the experience more difficult, and none reversed her decision.”

It is likely that ultrasound laws lower the abortion rate because they give women who choose to see the ultrasound get more information on what is in their womb. That should be acceptable to pro choice people who said abortion should be reduced as long as women still have the right to choose an abortion.

A little compassion goes a long way, though.

Are you sayig I am not being compassionate toward her? Probably not. On what grounds should I be compassionate - that she has written a fictional account and set it to bad poetry or that she is exploiting the real trauma of someone who was raped and is using it for her 15 minutes of fame?
 
If she is sincerely hurt, she needs prayers and maybe a counselor to help process grief.
 
“Relief from your morality” was, yeah, a pretty awful line, but also very characteristic of modern liberal thinking. For him who worships himself and his own will, even morality is an unjust restraint from which man must be liberated.

As for the rest of it, well, it’s just nonsense. There has literally never, in all of human history, been a society so intensely redistributive as this one. Such a woman could drop her baby at an orphanage’s doorstep and never see it again, and the little child would be well cared for. Or she could keep the child and have all the powers of the state assisting her in raising it – free public schooling, welfare, food stamps, etc.
