Yes, but that is such an antique and dated way of thinking, and eliminating shame from our culture surely won't have any lasting negative consequences... none at all.
You need to get on the italics train. Not everyone on here is as astute a reader as I, and I can't be following you around to explain to fools when you're being sarcastic.

So what did you do? I'm curious about her reaction.

I didn't say anything. Sorry if I wasn't clear about that. I basically posed the question to my Facebook friends to see if they thought I should have said something. If I ever see that woman again I will definitely confront her.

There are times when I'm not sarcastic???

Has anyone seen this #ShoutYourAbortion yet? Truly the most evil thing I've ever seen.

I don't agree with you on much, but the bottom line is that anyone PROUD of abortion has got to be mentally deranged. There is no scenario where it is something to be happy/proud//excited/whatever other positive adjective you want to use.

It's terminating human life. As a utilitarian at heart, I understand how in the big picture abortion could almost be considered a necessary evil for the overall utility of a society. Emphasis on necessary evil.

There are lots of gray areas in the sliding scale of when individuals consider it "acceptable" or "unacceptable," but at it's heart it's something to be sad about no matter the circumstance. Preservation of your own life? Rape baby? Doesn't matter, you should still be reluctant and sad that you had to have an abortion.

Acting prideful and unabashed about terminating life means you're, at best, narcissistic and delusional. At worst, you're evil.

When abortion is sold as a women's right issue some will twist it into a point of pride that men should stfu about...

But honestly, at the end of the day, sin is sin. In God's law, lying at the water cooler is the same as slashing your buddies throat and bleeding him out. All sins are the same and equally damning if not confessed and asked to be forgiven of. Society has placed the hierarchy of sins where murder is top dog and lying is next to nothing.

Sounds like whomever would be proud of having an abortion and ending life would have a long way to go towards salvation but I dont get to make that call, He does. But honestly, on the other hand, that would apply to ANYONE who has taken human life, (i.e soldiers) who have not confessed and sought forgiveness from Jesus no matter why they perceived taking the life as justified. So a lot of the local heroes who brag about their Iraq kill numbers could very well be, in God's eyes, in the same bucket as mentioned proud abortion person.

~11,283,000 people died in Nazi concentration camps.
~58,000,000 babies have been aborted since the passage of Roe v. Wade.

Challenge: present a coherent argument for why the Nazis are the greatest villains of the 20th century, while Planned Parenthood is praised as a champion of feminism and liberal values.

At the end of the day, it's all just eugenics-- the eradication of society's undesirables.

Marketing, Marketing, Marketing....

But, honestly.......... how many of those ~58,000, abortions were performed by Planned Parenthood?

I know many posters on IE also frequent Reddit. There is a sub I believe it's called /r/nokids, and it is one of the most disgusting cesspools on the internet. Women will go on and post about their experiences having abortions and having "that thing" removed from their bodies. Needless to say i was blocked from that sub almost as soon as i found it. But the callous way people talk about what would become another human being is startling.

There are situations where i can understand people feeling the need to have an abortion, but the people that are proud of it or boast about how much happier they were after it was over are selfish pieces of shit IMO. The entire abortion issue is a perfect example of one of the biggest problems with our culture, people not wanting to face the consequences of their actions.

Edit: No it was called /r/childfree

Probably the most offensive video to anyone who has or known someone as a victim of rape ever. Probably the lowest a feminist will go, and this is NOT satire.

58 MILLION, not thousand.

It's currently 27.5% according to the Guttmacher Institute. That's a pro-abortion group so the statistic isn't any kind of pro-life spin.

27.5% of 58,000,000 is 15,950,000. So Planned Parenthood alone has a healthy lead on the Nazis re human lives destroyed.

27.5% of all abortions ever performed, or 27.5% of abortions performed today?

Pretty sure there's a feminist movement out there condemning birth control because it inhibits sexual freedom. In other words, have sex freely and deal with any pregnancy later through an abortion.

If so, that's some fucked up shit. I know they're all "It's my body," but what about the baby's body?

All the arguments for abortion (other than "societal good") don't make sense unless you don't consider the baby a living person until it's born.

So what you're saying is the Nazis were actually the good guys?

People have always made attempts to justify their actions as shameless including pulling complete junk out of the clear blue sky. People do not want to accept the consequences of their actions or even be told there are such things. That is one of the huge reasons faith is on a roller coaster plunging decline in America. People do not want to feel restricted and fact is, faith restricts. So instead of doing what God tells them to do, they reject God in favor of the Idol of Self. Sad but fact. Unfortunately for them, the Idol of Self wont do a lot for them when they are heading towards that black, dark pit where the wailing and nashing of teeth sounds are coming from.

But it has always been this way with mankind. Throughout history mankind has rejected God in favor of what they want. Start with Adam and Eve, move to the people of Noahs time, go to the followers of Moses out of Egypt. Everyone wants to do their own thing and not be told what to do. All with really bad results of course...
