(37,648 posts)I have been pregnant 7 times. I don't have any children. I'm well acqainted with how abortions are performed. They don't give you some magic pill and POOF, it's done.
You said, "As far as ASSuming any woman who could have an abortion might be crazy, let me set your mind at ease." Please read my post again. I didn't say what you seem to think I said. I said if a woman has multiple abortions, it might be that there is a psychological issue at play. I stand by that statement. It MIGHT be, mightn't it? Of course it could. And it probably is. Women typically don't keep making the same mistake again and again, unless there's a reason for repeatedly getting pregnant when you think you don't want to be.
I speak from experience. Mine and others.
Getting an abortion is not like having a benign slow growing tumor removed. You're HAPPY when you have a tumor removed. I don't know of any woman who has been HAPPY she just had to have an abortion.
Grow up. There's biology at play here. We are women. There's a biological urge for many women to have children and protect fetuses.
Abortions SHOULD be rare, well considered, and all options considered. Telling young women "no problem" go ahead and have multiple abortions...no problem, is doing no service to anyone.
Take your smarmy attitude and stick it up your "ASSuming any woman who could have an abortion might be crazy" to quote you again.
And BTW, there's nothing grammatically wrong with "and may scrape her out so good that she can never have children." English major here.
