The article that quoted it then said:
Even if you believe abortion is an inalienable right for women, you must wonder at the waste of such human potential.
It later said:
But what is infrequently explained when abortion is contemplated is the deep regret many women feel later, when a child who might have been becomes a sort of eavesdropper on memory. Many priests will have heard self-accusations of murder in the confessional from women carrying abortion guilt. Whether that is justified or not, it happens. What a tragedy that there is such a lack of compassion at the time and perhaps a dark confrontation with despair. There seems no other solution than to get rid of the problem. They might hesitate if they believe they are getting rid of a person.

Man, I'm not sure if it's possible to come any further from left field there Yorick [img]smile.gif[/img]
I realise you are trying to keep to the freedom theme here, but abortion and smoking bans don't gel so well together in a single thread. Well, at least not from where I'm sitting.
