Read up on it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">This supposition is laden with baseless judgments: that those who seek abortion care are selfish; that they do so because having a child would cramp their depraved lifestyles (obviously the \u201cworst\u201d reason to terminate a pregnancy)[.]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Merriam-Webster <a href=\"http:\/\/www.merriam-webster.com\/dictionary\/selfish\">defines<\/a> selfishness as disregarding others in pursuit of one\u2019s own interests. <a href=\"http:\/\/clinicquotes.com\/top-4-reasons-women-give-for-having-an-abortion\/\">More than 70% of women who get abortions<\/a> say they decided babies were too expensive and would change their lives too much. So <em>of course<\/em> most abortions (at least, among <a href=\"\/news\/salons-latest-nonsense-pro-lifers-think-women-are-dumb\/\">those that know<\/a> they\u2019re killing a living child) are selfish.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">They insist on perpetuating the impulsive abortion patient trope, infantilizing women in the process. This is perhaps most evident in pushes for anti-choice legislation requiring waiting periods, counseling, and forced ultrasounds for people seeking abortions\u2014as if they can\u2019t or won\u2019t make informed decisions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Or we <a href=\"\/news\/informed-consent-is-anti-woman\/\">support<\/a> <a href=\"\/news\/abortions-decline-planned-parenthood-cant-honestly-deny-ultrasounds-power\/\">those<\/a> <a href=\"\/news\/contrary-to-pro-abortion-study-waiting-periods-save-lives\/\">laws<\/a> to counteract the abortion industry\u2019s <a href=\"\/news\/are-women-considering-abortion-informed-not-if-planned-parenthood-can-help-it\/\">pervasive misinformation campaign<\/a> on the subject, which one need not be \u201cinfantilized\u201d to be deceived by. And it\u2019s preposterous to claim accounting for the impulsiveness of some is calling everyone impulsive. I think it\u2019s obvious that I should slow down when driving in a school zone, but it\u2019s obviously not an insult that there are signs telling me to anyway.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Knowing now what it entails to be a mom\u2014from pregnancy, labor, and delivery to meeting the endless demands of other human beings\u2014I believe even more fiercely in abortion on demand and without apology. (And yes, you can be pro-choice and a parent; just read Pregnant, Parenting, and Pro-Choice for a smattering of stories). Everyone deserves to enter parenthood willingly, and every child deserves a parent who is willing to bear the responsibilities of this lifelong commitment. Children should be wanted and cherished, not forced into this world as punishment for their parents engaging in sex.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>From there Shaw lays it on even thicker: \u201cwomen and girls have abortions <em>precisely because<\/em> they respect children and motherhood\u201d (emphasis added) and have even \u201cshown the institution of motherhood\u201d respect by aborting.<\/p>\n<p>Hey, I told you you\u2019d need barf bags.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/AbortionProcedures.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-88619\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN.jpg\" alt=\"levatino-ad-LAN\" width=\"306\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN.jpg 306w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/levatino-ad-LAN-300x221.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 306px) 100vw, 306px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nobody\u2019s denying the difficulties of pregnancy and parenthood, but to suggest those are the <em>only<\/em> takeaways from the experience\u2014after you yourself describe it as bringing \u201clives\u201d into the world\u2014is frightening.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing her children\u2019s humanity on ultrasounds, feeling them kick, following their health as they developed, and giving birth to them as beautiful babies who clearly just didn\u2019t become fully formed the day before\u2026none of this made any contrary impressions on her?
