Re: Abortion poll
Wait, did I do something to ruffle your feathers?
I'm so sorry this hits you so hard. I know you're going through some very difficult times. Hugs! I would never consider a D&C an abortion nor what happened with VABeach (so sorry you had to go through that!). I didn't mean to imply that it is wrong to be sensitive about the subject and I don't think you were being confrontational at all. I hope you know I wasn't trying to be insensitive to the fact that this is a very difficult topic for many women, but I am glad you agree that conversations about issues so many women face should be more open.
No, not at all! I just meant that it is somewhat surprising to me that I agree this topic should be so open as such a staunch pro-lifer. I think women are still getting the short end of the stick and have to keep so much hidden. I can see how it read as a dig at you, but I defiitely did not mean it that way. Sorry for the awkward wording!
This poll does not offend me, I just find it random.
I think it is interesting though to know how many women have had an abortion. I am pro-choice and thankful to live in a country (Switzerland) that allows abortions (up to 12 weeks).
I wasnt offended by this poll.
I visited a friend in norway years ago and she and her friends were very open about abortion. Many of them had them and I was amazed at the differences in talking about it becuse it's very hush hush in the US. Don't know if this is common in Norway or just specific to that group of friends.
