210. "Convincing people that abortion should be
discussed ad infinitum before any decision is made?"

Jesus H. Christ, man, do you honestly think that women just go tripping merrily to the clinic, hop happily onto the table, then jump down and go skipping merrily off to her job/school/home to make dinner, whatever?

How could you possibly think that a woman would make such a horrendously agonizing and important decision without totally, carefully thinking it through and discussing it ad nauseum? I've been through that decision, and, while I ultimately chose to leave the clinic and not go through with it, it was still the most agonizing decision I've ever had to face in my life, and that was NOT, by ANY MEANS, taken lightly at all. And every single woman I've known who's had an abortion would tell you the same thing.

I think you're being very insulting to women with that remark, and I resent that.
