When you have a good friend who has had an abortion.

You realize how important this issue is.

I could bore you with details but I won't.

I know I am "preaching to the choir!"

1. I've had an abortion.

It's nothing I am ashamed of.

It is a choice I made - and have never regretted.

My only regret attached to this issue is that women are still being told that choice is not theirs to make.

5. It is nothing to be ashamed of.

"My only regret attached to this issue is that women are still being told that choice is not theirs to make." Same here. I am getting less tolerant of anti-choice views all the time. This is 2015, not 1715.

8. I applaud you for having the courage to make the right decision for yourself!

I get so sick of all of this "pro-life" propaganda.

I really think people with no lives think they have to run (or ruin) other people's lives to be happy. That must suck.

Peace, NanceGreggs, and enjoy what is left of this weekend!

2. This is true

I won't bore anyone with the details either. Cuz doesn't matter. It's a right and it's an important one to protect.

No one has the right to tell anyone what they can do to their own body. Period

6. That is the bottom line.

Thank you, marym625!

4. I used to date a woman in the mid-eighties

that had an abortion before I met her. She told me that her best friend said she (my girlfriend) was going to hell for getting an abortion. WTF? I asked her, "and you're still friends?" She said she was because she agreed with her friend. This time it was, WTF!!!??? Are you serious? "Yes I am," she said, "because I'm Catholic."

Oh, how wonderful to be religious and brain washed.

7. Wow.

That is very sad.
