The message
from Ann contains these words:

Janet Baraclough.. expounded:

Maybe she thinks women whose babies are stillborn are also "not
mothers".

Oh, now, that's definitely the same thing. Anything to stretch a
point.

When a less loaded term is used you instantly recognise that despite
the death of the unborn child, the person who just gave birth is a
mother. Perhaps if more people recognised that, abortion would never be
used as backstop contraception.


Maybe if people didn't turn a medical procedure into a moralist, judgmental
battle it wouldn't be so traumatic. I don't think abortion should be used
as a contraceptive method, but only because there are far less invasive
methods available. Unfortunately, the very same people who have made the
prohibition of abortion their raison d'être also want to ban any discussion
of birth control methods, particularly if that discussion takes place in a
school. Thank to idiots like George Bush, people are being subjected to the
ridiculous "abstinence only" approach to sexuality. So having to use
abortion as a method of contraception becomes more likely as does the
transmission of disease. Thank you Jesus!
