I am no dr by any means or close to it, but I can't help but wonder when your body begins to expell fetus' just because of the past history of abortions. Is that even possible? Idk...........anyone?

I have not had an elective abortion, but the answer is "no." EDIT: the body will not just start to expel subsequent pregnancies. I know several people who had abortions in their teens that have gone on to have several children. There could, theorectically, be damage from multiple abortions (scarring, etc. which is normal after any surgery) which could cause problems with conception later on. I am not answering the question as a "plus" for elective abortions, just answering the question to answer it.

Take care,

thanks. I wasn't sure. I just think that as with anything, we all have to protect ourselves from undue stress and damage to our bodies. but damn, why do I know that NOW and not when I was younger????

It's a myth that legal abortion increases the risk of future infertility.

That's not to say that no woman in the history of the world has ever had an abortion, experienced some extremely rare & serious complication, and then later had difficulty having kids. But most of the complications that can affect your future fertility - like a serious, untreated, uterine infection - more frequently happen from things like STDs and childbirth.

Continuing a pregnancy to term is much more stressful and damaging to the body than having a legal abortion.

I know one thing
if it wasn't available I wouldn't have done it and still regretting it to this day.

It's no one's fault but my own.

Don't be fucking stupid.

And FYI, the OFFICIAL position from the Vatican (head of the catholic church) is pro-life, anti-death penalty, and anti-guns.

I'm sorry to hear that. :( Abortion certainly isn't always the right decision for everyone's situation. It's often difficult to decide what decision is right for you, and all you can do is try your best to figure it out. You're only human, after all. Feel free to PM me if you want to talk about it.

I am sorry for you. That is the abuse that is on both counts of this whole thing; those who truly desire to abort should have that choice and those who do not should not be forced to.
May I ask, (since you pointed this out) were you forced by your parents?

I always think it's important to note that abortion is a quick, simple, and common procedure that is considerably safer than having a baby.

Not for the baby.

No, I am sure very few "women" would use it as a form of contraception. Ni woman who would be fully aware that this is still a surgical procedure that after the decision is made to go forth and have an abortion, it is trauma to her body.
But I know when I was a teenager, there were many girls who had multiple abortions and that is what I mean by saying that it was used as a contraception method, an afterthought of unprotected sex that resulted in pregnancy. I do hope that girls nowadays are better equipped to be able to be ammune from that.
I was not judging I do hope you know. And no, pro choice is not anti baby by any means. I was simply stating that we can't ever begin to know what goes on inside someone's mind or body or life to judge them; we can only say what we might do given the same set of circumstance.

I wish to be respectful to people here as well as everywhere else I might encounter them, so I do hope you didn't think I was putting anyone down.

I never thought you were putting me down. I was just clarifying my opinion

How about letting your mom make all of your choices for you?

Clever. :rolleyes:

Have you ever considered the possibility that abortion might sometimes be what's best for the baby?

I don't fully understand why you made this comment unless you have some knowledge (that I don't have) that cerealkiller1127 is a kid and her (?) mom is anti-choice.

But you do realize, don't you, that parents often coerce their children into having abortions, rather than "protecting" them from abortions?

Yes, still against it as I believe it to be killing a baby, so that would never be best in my opinion.

Nope, what I meant was this...

They said they'd rather die than live without choice...

In every abortion, the child doesn't get a choice....the mom (or sometimes others) do. It is the ultimate lack of choice.

Pro choice people make me sick.

Because obviously a life full of abuse and neglect is better?


Not saying this always happens, but the potential is far greater for an unwanted child.

Even if it were killing a baby (and I'm not saying it is or isn't), no one on this thread has yet been able to explain to me what's inherently wrong with that. Why is it always - 100% of the time - wrong to kill a baby, even if it's what's best for the baby? (And yes, I know the baby is innocent, but that doesn't answer the question.)

(And, just out of curiosity, why have you decided to be invisible?)
