Women, be proud of abortion?

When are pro-choicers going to realize that their leaders, spokespeople, and talking heads really are pro-ABORTION, not pro-choice? Jessica DelBalzo has written a cruel piece for RH Reality, boldly proclaiming, “I love abortion.”

Furthermore, she advises women:

Rather than trying to cozy up to the forced-birth camp, women who value their freedom should be proud to say that they like abortion. In fact, they should venerate it whole-heartedly. Abortion is our last refuge, the one final, definitive instrument that secures our bodily autonomy. What’s not to love?

What’s not to love?  Maybe ripping babies apart.  Maybe watching your baby (if you were to look at the ultrasound screen) pull away from the abortionist’s instrument in fear and probable pain from what’s about to happen.  Maybe sacrificing your child’s life on the altar of your own convenience.  Maybe violence.  Maybe death.  Yeah, I can think of quite a few things not to love.

Apparently, so can a lot of women who’ve had abortions:

Now that it’s over, everyone’s acting as if it never even happened, but every night I go to sleep crying, and wake up the next morning, put on my brave face and try to convince myself everything’s gonna be OK. What hurts the most is thinking I’m never going to go back to that person I was before. It is now part of my story and I have to live with it. I’m mad at myself in a way because I always told my self I’d never be that ”person”. I have to carry these regrets on my shoulders, and everyday I wish this has not been a life-changing experience for me, but it was… 

 

 I still remember that time before abortion, when all my thoughts was about “what do to”, I didnt sleep at night, all I did was think and cry…I thought also about adoption…yes I already loved this baby…after the abortion, it was the worst time in my life, i didnt want to live, I miss my baby so much…now about 7 mnths have passed and still I feel pain and I still crying at nights, and after abortion my life arent the same…it became grey and empty…if i can only turn back time…i would never do it. 

Most women do not "love abortion."

At least Jessica DelBalzo is honest that when pro-choicers admit that abortion should be “safe, legal, and rare”, they are agreeing with pro-lifers that abortion is something bad.  After all, why should something be rare unless it’s tragic, harmful, horrible, or at least sad, not-to-be-wished-on-anyone, and unfortunate?

At least the pro-choicers who say that abortion should be “rare” have a hope and a heart.  While they may view abortion as a “right” or as “necessary,” at least they wish it didn’t have to be that way.

Of course, for many, many reasons, I completely disagree with the safe and legal part.  Abortion shouldn’t exist, period.  It doesn’t have to.  It’s a human rights violation.  Therefore, safe and legal don’t even need to enter the discussion.

Do we try to make other acts of homicide, murder, or genocide “safe” for the perpetrators?  Do we ensure that the circumstances of a robbery are “safe” for the robbers?  Do we say, “Ok, well, you’re going to commit rape anyway, so we might as well make it legal?”  I didn’t think so.

As I’ve said before, if my “bodily autonomy” or “choice” or “power” or whatever as a woman must be bought at the price of my child’s blood, I DON’T WANT IT.  Of course, it’s just rhetoric to state that abortion is necessary for woman to remain equal individuals in society – rhetoric that’s been debunked many times.

Jessica DelBalzo is issuing a rally cry for women to be proud of their abortions.  She certainly has no regret for her own.  Instead, she writes as though the worst thing in the whole situation was the “eight weeks of nausea and weight gain.”  I’ve been pregnant—for 40 weeks.  If you truly care about your child, nausea and weight gain are the least of your concerns.

But hey, at least she’s more honest than many supposed “pro-choicers.”  As Ms. DelBalzo admits, the issue really is ABORTION, not this illusive word called “CHOICE.”  If it really was about choice, President Obama wouldn’t be forcing employers and/or insurance companies to pay for abortifacient birth control; he wouldn’t be forcing taxpayers to pay into a special insurance “abortion fund”; ethicists in the UK wouldn’t be calling for “after-birth abortion”; and RH Reality wouldn’t be publishing an article about loving abortion.  In the end, the pro-choice issue boils down to killing children.  It’s that plain, simple, and unthinkable.  But it’s reality.

 I love abortion. I don’t accept it. I don’t view it as a necessary evil. I embrace it….I love abortion.

    I don’t believe Jessica DelBalzo understands what “bodily autonomy” is… since with a pregnancy we are talking about TWO bodies, not just one. So either she doesn’t understand what bodily autonomy is, or she doesn’t understand basic embryology…

    And from the sound of this woman, and others like her, she wants nothing to do with being “equal” to men… she wants women to be *above* men, with more prestige, money, rights, and power. The power to control life: to create it and to destroy it.

    Hopefully women like her will do nothing but hurt the pro-”choice” side, rather than aid it.

    Good article!

       You understand, don’t you, that the author didn’t say she loved abortion? In fact, the entire article was dedicated to expressing the exact opposite sentiment. Just clarifying that your comment was directed at the psychotic woman ABOUT whom this article was written, and not the person who WROTE it. :)

      Try reading the article next time. Thanks.

    Holding my breath to hear the pro-”choicers” condemn the inhumanity of this Jessica DelBalzo chick… holding… holding…

    Forget about it… I still have a few brain cells I’m interested in preserving… :)

    That’s disgusting. Abortion HURTS women! Has she ever looked at the reports of women coming out of abortion clinics on stretchers? Has she ever heard of the women who died from legal abortion? Has she ever talked to the women who were actually injured or emotionally traumatized by abortion? My guess is that the answer to all of those is a resounding NO.
    In order to exercise true autonomy, we women need to take responsibility for our actions and use the word “No” when we know that we are fertile. Women deserve better than abortion!

    ultimate exploitation of women.” – Alice Paul, author of the 1923 Equal

    I was thinking that maybe it’s because the mother can’t see the baby that it’s easier not to realize the destruction that is taking place inside of them.  By NOT witnessing the way these babies are tortured before they die they don’t have a clue what it’s all about.  Maybe someone needs to make a commercial of a born child being ripped apart (not actually doing it of course but maybe just a blank screen and hearing a doctor hurting a child with an actual child screaming saying “no, please stop” while the doctor proceeds to kill the child).  Maybe that will send the point home and people will wake up that there is NO difference either before or after a child is born that torture and murder should never be condoned.  I hope you can follow this – I am NOT advocating hurting a child just letting people believe that it is happening to send the point home.

      Like making a commercial out of The Silent Scream, or something? That sounds interesting. However, it won’t get picked up for normal viewing hours, as the content may be too “adult” for the FCC to allow. Just like the commercial in Canada, “Everybody for life raise your hand”, which Priests For Life put on a couple of years ago, it would be too gruesome.

      One commercial I have been thinking of lately is the one on about 15 years ago, where the woman was really depressed about aborting her child, and it showed an empty swing and playground. She said something like, “He would be 8 years old now,” or something like that. I don’t remember who put it on, though. Since I was young when I saw it, and my mom briefly explained it to me, I remember thinking whenever it was on, “What kind of parent kills their child?” Of course, I forgot about it as time went on, but it has recently popped back into my mind, for some odd reason. Maybe it needs to be found and put back on television.

    It’s all too clear why God created a Hell. And for some, it begins on earth.

  • StephanieRose

    wow..so sad and scary..just unbelievable. How can a women, a Mother, care more about having carefree sex and doing whatever she wants than her own baby? She cant even spend 9 months out of her whole life pregnant to give this baby who she created life? I dont get it

  • Elizabethmidgett

    way to go. Great article!

    Jessica would love the Sterling Institute. I am a former customer. I knew that I was hanging with the wrong crowd when at one of our women’s gatherings we were all encouraged to stand up and say something that we were proud of. Many of the women shared that they were proud of their abortions. One woman didn’t want to get up, but the others around her encouraged her to, saying that it would be helpful for her. I could tell that she was in so much pain and was being used for their agenda. For her, she really wanted to fit in with the group. She knew of my growing discomfort with the topic (and many other disgraceful agendas happening within the group) and she avoided me. Although my choice to act as an individual was present, it was not respected. I observed another woman in the group who felt conflicted about coming to their meetings when clearly she wanted to keep her obligations to her Christian choir practices. I finally came to the realization that the majority of these women were not about being pro-choice at all…I am so thankful that the Holy Spirit led me back to fully embracing life with Christ.

      I wonder if people like Jessica or those Sterling Institute people would still be proud of their abortions if they then had problems having the kids they wanted.

    There are wemon who can not have children and some of these wemon who can are proud of abortion? Y not adoption? Y not let these wemon who can’t have children enjoy the gift of a child it would save lives and allow these wemon to experience motherhood. Responsibility is something some of these wemon can’t Handle and I honestly belive that if you cant take responsibility for wat you have done don’t make the outcome of wat happened suffer human or in any other case.
