Abortions are not a good thing, but they are better than the alternative

She told me if her parents found out she was pregnant she would be disowned and kicked out of the family home. She also told me that her brothers would murder her boyfriend, and I believed her. About an hour after her operation I and my nurse saw her and her boyfriend walking out of the clinic hand in hand, and I said to my nurse, "Look at that. We saved two lives today."

The next time you see one of your conservative christian friends who get their chuckles out of shooting doctors... tell them how 'torn' you are.

Well, obviously that's a stupid and wrong thing to do. I understand the motivations behind shooting abortion doctors (these people usually view them as mass murderers), but it's still stupid and criminal.

If they were mass murderers, you'd have more than a few clusters of cells to worry about.

No sympathy here.

She didn't say "sympathize". She said "understand". The logic followed, no matter how flawed, is interpretable.

She understands. I lack sympathy should some pro-liver be struck dead by septic shock to the genitals.

I am pro-liver, but anti-kidney.

I'm very anti-spleen.

I've got a lot of gall, ya know.
