Its activities are on the cutting edge of the abortion issue, taking direct action to restore legal personhood to the pre-born and stop abortion in obedience to biblical mandates.</description> <lastBuildDate>Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:49:54 +0000</lastBuildDate> <generator>http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2</generator> <sy:updatePeriod>hourly</sy:updatePeriod> <sy:updateFrequency>1</sy:updateFrequency> <item><title>By: Terese</title><link>http://www.operationrescue.org/archives/post-abortion-healing/comment-page-1/#comment-290668</link> <dc:creator>Terese</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Feb 2009 22:14:29 +0000</pubDate> <guid
isPermaLink="false">http://new.operationrescue.org/?p=80#comment-290668</guid> <description>i would think that if you have had an abortion and have absolutely no regrets that either the event is too new to have &#039;sunken in&#039;, or you have lied about the experience just to make a political statement on this website, or somehow your heart is so hardened to not feel anything anymore--which i find the truly frightening alternative.  There is no way one can participate in death and in such a traumatic medical procedure and not have lasting effects and still be a part of the human race.
I have read through all of these and find the post-abortive regrets to be the most honest of the posts and the most painful, my prayers and daily rosary are for all of you.  I would also suggest Rachel&#039;s Vineyard for all of you are so wallowing in pain that can&#039;t seem to be relieved.  I&#039;m not sure of the website, but i&#039;m sure it could be easily found through google.
We all have to remember that it is a life, not a choice, or a convenience or a decision, but a LIFE, No DECISION is necessary because it has already been determined.
The rest is only a morality of convenience, not truth.
Remember when Mary went to visit with Elizabeth after Jesus was newly conceived within her. (Luke 1:40) Jesus was only three days old within Mary when John the Baptist lept within Elizabeth&#039;s womb.  Life begins at conception.  Its very clear.  As usual, the scientist meets the theologian at the top of the mountain.  God Bless.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i would think that if you have had an abortion and have absolutely no regrets that either the event is too new to have &#8217;sunken in&#8217;, or you have lied about the experience just to make a political statement on this website, or somehow your heart is so hardened to not feel anything anymore&#8211;which i find the truly frightening alternative.

isPermaLink="false">http://new.operationrescue.org/?p=80#comment-198642</guid> <description>It seems like a common theme in most of the stories of women that truly regret their abortions is that they felt they were not given a CHOICE.
Hmm, strange how it would be terrible for those women to be forced into a reproductive decision yet not terrible for the woman that actually want to abort and are forced into giving birth. Oh wait, it is terrible for them as well.
If PAS is indeed a real thing along the lines of postpartum depression, then I am all for more information about it being spread and true help being offered to these women. But I think using it as an argument against abortion is kind of ridiculous since, um yeah, postpartum depression and psychosis exist and the cases of PPD exist in rather large numbers.
And all these arguments about whether or not an embryo or fetus is a living human being make little difference to me. My issue is, if it is alive, when is it OK for a living being (the fetus/embryo/&quot;BABY&quot;) to use another&#039;s body (the woman&#039;s body) against their will? If it saves a life? Where do you draw the line when it comes to things like live organ donations? Is it simply the fact that you hate the idea of women having sex for pleasure SO much that you think they deserve everything they get? If yes, then it really doesn&#039;t seem to be about &quot;life&quot; at all and your sex life must be truly unpleasant, male or female.
Now for the personal story time, I have had an abortion and I have given birth. I can assure you the more miserable (and by that, I mean it was one of the top three most horrible, traumatic events of my life) of the two in my experience was carrying the pregnancy to term, giving birth, and dealing with postpartum depression, but I do not regret either choice because they were just that: choices. Made by me. Now if someone had coerced me into making a decision they wanted me to make in either situation, I can imagine it being emotionally difficult, to say the least.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It seems like a common theme in most of the stories of women that truly regret their abortions is that they felt they were not given a CHOICE.<br

What has got into people?
How can anyone ever excuse abortion?
Almost every excuse is weak!
People grow up!
Take responsibility for your actions!
What are you doing having sex before you are educated?
God said, &quot;If you love me, you will obey me.&quot;
He commanded us to wait for marriage before having sex.
DO NOT SELFISHLY SLEEP AROUND BECAUSE OF LUST - AND DO NOT USE THAT AS AN EXCUSE TO CRUELLY MURDER YOUR BABY!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While everyone is entitled to express their opinion, some opinions reflect immaturity, self-centredness, and a chilling lack of love for the most adorable of creatures &#8211; the human baby!<br

1.) Murder is what God came down and told us not to do. Aborting a living BABY inside what is suppose to be the safest place for a human being in their most fragile state is MURDER.
A girl condemns herself by opening her legs in the first place. Sex is an adult responsibility with adult consequences, if a girl thinks she is grown enough to have sex, than she must deal with the consequences of carrying a BABY to term and either keep it or give it up to a loving family. Adoption allows teenage girls to keep their future open to them in obtaining a decent life.2.) In the womb is the most defenseless beginnings of live, it has been proven that &quot;fetuses&quot; (as you so lovingly call them, or what I like to call a &quot;BABY&quot;) practice breathing by breathing in amniotic fluid, they also have awake and sleep cycles that they have brain activity and REM sleep! So how can you say a baby can&#039;t think? Are you really that obtuse? It concerns everyone if unborn babies are facing mass genocide simply because someone refuses to take proper precautions not to concieve, abortion is being used recklessly as a &quot;Birth Control.&quot;
3.) We love babies too, and have many ourselves, its those who are having abortions we are trying to reach.You obviously don&#039;t have a &quot;pair&quot; as your wife keeps your locked up and tells you that you can only have sex if you agree with every liberl inane thing she says.HaHa, men are such pathetic losers when it comes to abortion issues!</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Miguel,<br

Did i miss the time that God came down to earth and told all of you that abortions are bad? I mean do you honestly think God would rather have someone give birth to a baby as a teenager and then not to be able to continue their education, get a decent job and live a decent life? Because without an abortion, you are condeming someone who might have made a simple mistake( maybe they were drinking or some other simple activity that 9 times out of 10 doesnt cause harm) to a life full of hardship.2. How does it conncern you what someone you dont even know decides not to have a baby. That is like me telling you you cant kill a cow to eat because it is also alive. A fetus isnt really alive till it comes out of the womb and is born. The fetus doesnt have the ability to think, therefore I dont think it really cares what happens to it3.  I like babies and i have kids of my own, but if you like babies so much, why dont you women on this site just keep getting pregnant?please respond to me with your thoughts at raguilera36@yahoo.com</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>3 points i want to make.</p><p>1.
