I've been living with this gut pain all day and had to vent. I watched his beaming wife on television and even found myself liking her. Then I read about how SHE had an abortion because her life was in danger and she had children at home who needed her. But abortion for other women is wrong.

My children were/are every bit as important as theirs. These people have NO empathy whatsoever.
