Why are pro-chcoie women slandered . . . .?

as w.h.o.r.e.s? I just got the most fantastic little email calling me one. Which I think is absolutely hilarious because I have been married for over 10 years. My husband and I both made the decision to terminate that pregnancy, so how does that make me a w.h.o.r.e?

Why the misconception that women who are pro-choice or have had an abortion must be s.l.u.t.s?

(This email was priceless it had so many words ***** out of it, the only word that actually came through was w.h.o.r.e)

Update:

TTC 4 2 LONG - Interesting how you equate abortion with unprotected sex when it has been proven that at least half (54%) of women getting an abortion are doing so because their birth control failed on them.

Thanks for not equating an abortion with whoredom but damn the misconceptions about abortion obviously still abound.

Yeah and by the way two forms of birth control failed my husband and I ; )

Update 2:

Trinity's Mommy - Meant to be?

I was taking herbs that were high risk for causing birth defects. How the hell is that mean to be?

Also what the hell does, 'Mean to be' to an agnostic?

Selfish would have been bringing that life into the world to suffer.

Wow, people like you are delusional and ignorant.

    It's not a misconception. It is simply their choice to try to demean others who don't share their opinions.

    You need to remember you can't expect rational thought and behavior from irrational people. Not everyone sees pro-choice women or women who had abortions as whores. There are all types of fanatics and some how a crazed fanatic got your information.

    That particular irrational person didn't take a step back to see that you are a married woman. Some women have personal medical reasons ot found out there is a problem with the fetus so they have to abort. Fanatics don't care why a person did the act because they are just obsessed that a person did something that they despise.

    I don't have a problem with women who are Pro Choice. I have a problem with people who decide that the only acceptible "choice" is the one they want you to make. Someone can choose to *not* have an abortion too, and a truly "pro choice" person would respect that decision instead of answering questions with multiple links to sites that promote abortion.

    It's stupid. People have their heads stuck so far up their behinds that if they came up for air every once in a while, they would realize that they are total hypocrites.

    Don't even get me started on how the term "pro-life" implies ALL life. They don't want to hear that while they're shoveling down a cheeseburger.

    And adoption isn't an option. Look at how many unwanted kids there are in shelters, foster care, and orphanages right now. It's not like you can put an ad on Craigslist and be rid of the baby to a good home that day.

    And ps. I think agnostic implies that you're unsure of what you believe in.

    Source(s): I'm having my 8th abortion Monday and I'm sick of being criticized!

  • because some people are so set in thier "christian" ways that they press them on other people. and talking to you like that? thats not very christian. at all.

    i think the worst thing you could do is bring a child into the world when you arent ready for one. and lets be serious, adoption may be an option, but really? not that likely because after 9 mos it's gotta be torture to give it up.

    I don't think it is right to label a woman any demeaning word because of the decision to have an abortion. However, that being said, I am pro life...but having an abortion doesn't = a w.h.o.r.e.

    I think the procedure is barbaric and frightening-- it shocks me that women have this procedure done and can sleep at night, but to each their own I guess. If you are having unprotected sex, you should expect pregnancy...otherwise, go on B.C. or use a condom...

    I don't consider them a whore, I just think abortion is wrong. If it got past 2 forms of birth control it was meant to be. Adoption is always best. After having 3 miscarriages I can't imagine how anyone could kill their baby. Abortion is just selfish. Someone would have loved to have your baby but you killed it instead of giving it a life that it deserves.

    i wouldn't label a woman who is pro-choice a whore but i would label them as selfish. whether you want to admit it or not the "termination of pregnancy" is the stopping of a beating heart yes your tiny little baby's heart was beating whether he or she was 1 cm or 10 inches and you stopped the beating of that heart for whatever selfish reason you guys had. whatever it is it's not worth ending a LIFE!
