(1,135 posts)I would detest having to defend myself for having had two therapeutic abortions. Not because I wanted them, but because I had to as an emergency medical procedure. My two sons would not have had their mother to raise them, otherwise. So I was grateful that I had the "choice" available to me.
On another note, there are few women who are happy about getting an abortion. I felt a great sadness after each of them, as do most women. But there are situations where it is the best solution.
Whatever the reason though, it does not matter, Women have an absolute right for any reason to do what she wants. And no one has the right to judge them for that.
I enjoy DU and feel that anti-choice posts have no place here, considering the type of forum this is. It is insulting and completely insensitive, arrogant self-righteous and sanctimonious. So I would always vote to have the post deleted/hidden and if the poster continued with those sort of posts, to be banned. I also want to feel comfortable here, about certain issues. This one tops them all, for that wish.
