I'll call you slut if it makes you feel better.

You're right, but I think that example in itself outlines the problem. You losing your arm is tragic, because although it was deemed necessary (even though I could extend this comparison to make it fit abortion....why were you constantly injected that virus in to your arm if you didn't want to get it?) for you to live, you still had to stop and think about how much this would change your life.

Do you think that applies all of the time with abortion? Do you think it's always presented that way to women? I guess my question is do we as a society take the procedure, and in my opinion at least a potential life, very seriously....? If so, why does PP fight alternative counseling prior to abortions?
