Heartless misogynist because I refuse to feel sorry for someone who apparently made their own choice? You know the same choice that you whine about so much...I feel sorry for her daughter but that is the extent of my sympathy. How is that heartless? Poos friend is *not* a victim! She can play the victim and whine for sympathy all she wants but oh well. Looks like she needs to grow up and realize what choice she did make instead of "wishing that she aborted". What is wishing gonna do for her?

If that makes me heartless to you then so be it. I don't feel sorry for any adult that makes a bad choice.

Call me heartless/mysoginyst whatever you like but that's just the way I see things. If people aren't adult enough to make such important decisions then maybe they shouldn't be allowed to make them.


And please call me all the names that you like :) doesn't bother me one bit. It just shows how *well* you are able to debate.

Edited to respond to fishes post below--i said earlier that she should seek counseling or at least do something to change her situation. And was called a heartless mysogynist. If she has felt like this for four years why hasn't she done something to change it? If she has ppd for that long then (it usually sets in any time during the first year after birth) she needs to see someone.

Steen--if she won't seek help then what can anyone do for her? We can't do anything for her. Instead of seeking pity she needs to seek treatment.

In my opinion it sounds like the poor woman could be suffering a mild form of pnd if everything else in the family enviroment is ok and it is only the child that she is distant from that is the only thing that I can think of.
Poopoo has she seen her g.P about it do you know?
If not it may be worth droping it into conversation.
You never know after a short course of anti depressants or counciling she may see the child in a differnt light and if not then nothing is lost really but if so just think of what she could gain.
I say she needs help and advice from a profesional but there you go I aint no doctor.

There is no point in pathologising it all. She is not depressed or miserable. She is getting on with her life. She simply recognises that it is not the life she was planning. She had plans and things she wanted to do, and now at the age of 22 she is simply stuck in a role she was not planning. She can tell me about it, because she knows I won't be aghast that her child isn't the most important thing in the world, and won't condemn her for not being absolutely thrilled about being a mother. She said everyone was so thrilled for her when she got pregnant, that she just put all her doubts aside and went along with it. As I said, she loves her daughter, she just would rather not have had her.

As I said, m2t, and as your post confirmed, you are a heartless misogynist.

i don't understand -- why is the child a victim? She was born -- which is obviously the most important thing to the anti-choicers. She is loved and cared for. She has both parents. She is not abused. She is well-fed. What makes the child a victim? There are plenty of planned children, or ones born to women who would never have considered abortions, who are far worse off.

There is no victim here-- just someone who says that if they had to do it over again, they would have had an abortion.

like I said before, I think you've made this whole story up just to prove a point. I have a hard time believing any b.S. That comes spilling out of you fundie's mouths. If this girl really does exist she probably doesn't regret it as much as you think. Just because you would hate to be in her situation doesn't mean she feels that way. Also, just because she may complain and miss her old life or wish things would've happened in a different way doesn't mean she regrets not killing her child. I miss my old life sometimes to when I had freedom, but that doesn't mean I wish I would've never had my son.

Poo--it's apparent that you wrote this story to show your poor friend as victim. If not then why else did you write it? The child is the victim because it is apparent that she is not wanted...I sure hope that noone ever tells her that..


Pc--your little 80% quote is just you pulling bullshi* out of your as*. But it was just something you overheard huh? So if I tell you that earth is flat are you gonna believe that too?

i never said it was a fact... Just a stat I had heard recently... It was shocking to me. I do know people that have said it, I just didn't think it was that high.[/quote]

whoever said that to you is probably just another lying, pro-baby killer just like you who was just trying to make abortion look good. I'm sure if you actually did a real study on this you'll find just the opposite.

no , I don't see her as any kind of victim. As I said originally, I brought this up because of all the people who keep talking about how so many women regret having abortions. We all know women who don't regret having abortions, and there are many very touching and eloquent stories by women on imnotsorry.Com.

The reason for posting the story is just to point out that women who decide against an abortion can also regret their decision -- and they have to live with the consequences of that decision every day.

She is not a victim -- she had the choice, and allowed herself to be talked out of having an abortion. It's not like they put her in a straightjacket and forced her to carry to term. But her instinct was that she didn't want to be a mother. She gave in to the social pressure to do have the baby. She regrets that.

Pc, if it's not fact, you don't need to go around parading information that isn't backed up by any proof. Just another example of your pro-death lies. Liar.

you're suck a retard. It was a figure I heard. Again, I never stated it was fact. While I do know people that have said the same thing, I can't believe the figure could be so high. I posted it here hoping someone may have heard it too and might have more information about it. Unlike you, I enjoy learning and exchanging information. Go back to hell, gay woman.


relax on the retard thing, I know you probably didn't mean it more than another insult but a lot of people can get extremelly offended when people use that term. Just because someone is retarded or handicapped does not mean they are unintelligent. Trust me on this i've worked with handicapped kids for years and years.

Lil is one of the fairest people on this forum and has more integrity in her little toe than you have in your whole body.
She is not a hypocrit and I am damn sure that if mom2ty had offended her she would be saying exactly the same to her.

No what I am saying is that she doesn't get involved usualy so you can deduce from that just how offended at your choice of words that she is.
But then again causing offence sems to be your favorit pass time
doesn't it?
Fell free to correct me if I am mistaken but from what we have seen from you on this forum I don't think I am.

so let me get this right... As long as she isn't offended, name calling is ok? @@ hypocrite is exactly what she is.


i've told people to stop with the name calling but no one seems to listen. Retard is very offensive. Ever work with a handicapped child/person?

What is it with you, are u that unhappy that you just have to go around attacking everyone? I feel real sorry for you that you always have to stoop down to such low levels.

Here.... Mom2ty wanna stop calling pc a babykiller please. Fetuskiller is ok though! Remember just be politically correct! And calling someone a retard is not politically correct.

Errrm would that be my husband my alter ego come on at least be consistent in what your opinions are.
Right let me get this right now you are complaining about a husband that according to you is actually my alter ego.
Right so if he doesn't exsist then how can I stop him voicing his opinion on one as vile as you(not that I would want him to stop voicing his opinion)?

So what is it your choice husband or alter ego?@

i could care less. She is either going to expect everyone here to not offend each other or she can keep her trap shut.


madita madre.... Since you're all like lil children who don't listen since a lot of us have asked to stop with the name calling and you people can't seem to. I asked mom2ty to stop calling you babykiller as maybe it is offensive (look up a couple of posts). Call me a health forum or whatever but there are certain limits. And calling people names does not help get your point accross. It just makes everyone look a lot more ignorant.
