Does "abortion on demand and without apology" describe your approach to the issue?

56. I've been floating around posting that same thing this last week

When we add in the catch phrase that it's a "tragic" or "heartbreaking" decision, we are buying into the crap that abortion somehow equals the murdering of a baby. That somehow, a child was hurt or lost.

It's a baby once the mother carries the fetus to term and the baby is born. Until then, it's not.

There is so much guilt and shame that have been put on women who are only making the right decisions for their own lives and health. Our country has unconsciously bought into the pictures of a 30 week-old fetus being murdered. Women reinforce it to each other. If women weren't led to believe that every miscarriage or abortion was the death of an actual child, perhaps some of that guilt and shame could be lifted and people would then be able to understand that it is a medical procedure and necessary for health.
