You know, I thought I had seen it all when this headline proved me wrong today: “Woman Sues Doctors After Failed Abortion.” Some genius, age 45, went in for an abortion about a month into her pregnancy. I don’t know what the doctor did or didn’t do, but somehow the abortion didn’t “take,” and the woman was still pregnant, but she managed to remain ignorant of that fact for the next six months, until she went to another doctor complaining of pelvic pain, at which point she was informed that the bun was still in the oven. She gave birth a few months later and now, with her daughter about two years old, she is suing Doctor #1 for child support. This blows my mind on several levels. First, how do you fail to abort a walnut-sized fetus? Second, how could you fail to notice a pregnancy for SIX MONTHS? I’ve never been with child (knock wood), so maybe I’m just being ignorant, but I think there would be some pretty clear signs that something’s going on down there. Third, if she was so against having the child in the first place, and was so unable to take care of it once she had it that she has to sue a Planned Parenthood doctor for child support (I guess daddy is not part of the equation), why on earth didn’t she put the poor kid up for adoption? I really try to give those less fortunate than I the benefit of many, many doubts for all kinds of crazy behavior, but then someone so monumentally stupid comes along and makes me start ranting like Archie Bunker. Ugh, that poor child.

Maybe she was carrying twins and doc didn’t notice.
A 4D ultrasound would have picked it up…should be required prior to all abortions…plazma screen would be cool….so everyone can see what what they are working on.
As for not knowing she was pregnant till she was told somewhere in the seventh month…must be carrying some extra weight anyway.
What surprises me is, after having the child (from the moment she set eyes on her) she didn’t melt with the thought of what she had tried to do to her…and be so gratefull that the abortion had failed.
But it seems she is lacking something….she be subhuman…
What next … sell the kids organs.
I am an athiest, and a 98 % pro-lifer.
Largely pro-life due to my belief that life for “me” began at conception,
that was the start of my existance,
that was my own personal “big bang” (no pun intended).
Three weeks after conception my heart started to beat.
First brain waves were recorded at six weeks after conception.
Seen sucking my thumb at seven weeks after conception.
You see, although moments after conception I was no more than a clump of cells,
that clump of cells was me,
I might have had a lot of growing to do but that clump of cells was me just the same.
I am glad I was left unhindered, to develope further,
safe inside my mothers womb until I was born.
Shouldn’t they all be so lucky ?
They are our equil, no more, no less.

I purposely left out any political/moral opinion; I’m no fan of abortion, but am pro-choice in that I don’t feel I have a right to tell other people what to do with their bodies. If a woman is able to carry an unwanted child to term without serious medical complications, I certainly think adoption is the best way to go, but that’s me. This person was in her 40s, which can be a tricky age at which to carry a child, so maybe she had health as well as financial reasons to terminate the pregnancy. I’m just amazed at this woman’s incredible stupidity and greed.

If only people would choose to use birth control,
They wouldn’t have to make another choice……..

Cash payments for using birth control…………..

I know their are a number of people who can’t use birth control for one reason or another.
But is that true for all types of birth control,
there are many different types to choose from,
surely one to suite most every-one.
I would suggest that the number of people that can’t use any of them at all would be very small
but many use this as their reason.

You are not telling people what to do with their bodies. They can get pregnant if they want. You are telling them they can’t take the life of a human being inside of them who can’t speak. If that pregnant mother were shot in the abdomen and the fetus died, the perp would be tried for murder. Also there was the recent case of a 426 pound woman who didn’t know she was pregnant. Too fat to feel the baby kick, never got sick, and no noticable weight gain.

Yeah - not a fan of abortion, but pro-choice. Saddest thing is that some children start life with so little chane, thanks to the parents they’re born with. Sad.

Dear WordPress… can we have a spellchecker please, for us illiterate no hopers?

The choice should be to get or to not get pregnant. There are many choices to prevent pregnancy. The choice should not be to kill or not to kill a fetus. The baby that is born is just as much dependent after birth for the next 18 years as is was days after conception.

Tell that to the abstinence-only “education” lobby.

Abstinence has no failure rate in birth control. People can avoid being drug addicts by abstaining from drugs. Just say “NO” works. You and I both did. Both come down to choice.
