Well I don't see a point having people do it illegally through unsafe, conventional methods if it's going to be done anyway.

I just think that if it is legal, society is saying it is morally acceptable. Murder is going to happen anyway, but it is still against the law.

If they have to do it illegally through an unsafe method, they might think twice about doing it at all.

Murder is generally accepted as morally/ethically wrong, but abortion =/= murder.

That's what you think.

I'm a bit insulted that you think that I'm not happy that I was able to make the choice to have an abortion.

I'm living proof against your argument for what women feel after having abortions.

Just sayin'.

What I said did not represent everyone, the two girls I've known who have gotten abortions felt really bad afterwards.

Now, please click the link above. :)

I'm already read two biographies about her, read multiple articles, seen a program about her on TV, and read her Wiki page.

Your point?

I don't base my opinion on someone else's opinion, so it's all fine and dandy that her opinion changed (even if she was a leading role of an organization that also shares my opinion). I'm simply happy that she found something worthwhile for her, and that she feels confident in her opinion.

I'm all fine and well with people loving children and thinking that babies are a miracle and all that jazz. If she gets all mushy inside from looking at posters then good for her. But it doesn't prove anything, and it certain doesn't change my opinion that is based on facts, not emotion and pictures.

I do not regret my abortion. I haven't in the 7 years that it'd been since I had it done. I have never felt depressed about my choice, and it makes me hurt, nay, ANGRY, that you try to assume that I feel a certain way because a whopping TWO people felt that way (and I'm probably thinking that you didn't try to make them feel any better about it either).

It is significant, because the person who led the movement felt regret later.

Now, what facts are your opinion based on?

It's significant to her, not to me.

I'm happy that she made the right choice for her, and I'm happy that I made the right choice for me. But that doesn't mean that her choice is the right one for me as well.

Just because she changed her opinion, you're trying to make me think that I should change mine too? People change opinions all the time, and I try not to simply claim "oh, she changed, so I must as well!"

Try getting a decent argument for your opinion, then I might try to reply.

Okay.

I said it was significant, I did not try using it as an argument. Unless I did without realizing just then, but feel free to quote me, ma'am.

I asked what facts your opinion is based off, for my "decent argument." So meh, stop using the old ad hominem argument, and answer the actual question, if you wouldn't mind :)

Read her argument again.
What claims did she make that needs facts to support it?
It's opinion. Opinions and facts are totally different..
