I usually do not respond to these things, but this was so ridiculous I felt like I had to.
Here is an article by Tanya Gold that was in the Guardian "The anti-abortion lobby is barbaric".
I do not expect anything because I have learned it is mostly a waste of time to spend responding to this kind of thing that obviously has no true concern fo r women, but this time I responded anyway. Here it is:
I am a post abortive woman who runs a ministry for women who suffer
because of a past abortion. This article would be comical if it were not
so outrageous. It is amazing to me that people who claim to care about
women are so blind to the damage abortion has done to so many of us.
I am totally sick of being labeled anything but what I am in order to discredit what I say. I am a woman who has had an abortion and suffered. Even according to the Guttmacher Institute 10% of women have adverse impacts...with 54 million abortions, that is millions of women.
In the beginning abortion was toted because it was illegal and women would die if it was not made legal...safe, legal and rare was the mantra...what a joke. Women died(and continue to die) anyway...now in this article instead of speaking the truth Tanya blames the death of pregnant women on the threat to "access" to abortion. Really?
The attitude of protecting the act of abortion no matter how many women die or get hurt is amazing to me. Abortion has become a god, certainly more worshiped and protected than the women they originally claimed to be caring about.
I hate to clue Tanya in, but with my work with thousands of women, I have heard of many "mad" doctors...just do a google search and you can find them. Steven Brigham, Steve Chase,Randall Whitney, you get the picture.
Fear of censure did not bring womene to Gosnell, that is ridiculous. They went to Gosnell because he is one of the few who would do an abortion at such a late term. Doctors know it is dangerous and that is why there are not many who do late term abortions. "women went to Gosnell simply because other abortion clinics had protestors outside"? Really? If that were true many would be out of business, but as we know Planned Parenthood is making millions doing abortions.
Anti abortion activists do not impede safe abortion.. abortion kills, not the activists...babies die and women do sometimes as well.
Stop your rhetoric and lies if you truly care for women and not just your god of abortion so that more of us do not die.
