No, she could be against late term abortions. I personally find late term abortions repugnant unless the mothers life is in danger. Abortion should not be treated as another form of birth control.

Since she had the experience and knows what is involved, I would say yes.
The difficulty seems to be because of the extra testing that must go on. If every person who wanted an abortion claimed rape or incest, the clinics would be full. There should be a legislation to attempt to prove this, and although the process could be intruding, if that person is being honest, they won't mind. As long as it isn't after the specified time.
There was also a doctor who had written an article on the 'pain threshold' of the unborn. I've also had the opportunity of viewing some pretty graphic photos of aborted babies for a class I was taking. When I saw them from the 12th week on, all I could do was cry...it was soo horrible. The forensic people who took the pictures attempted to put the aborted baby back together, and it was the most awful thing I've ever view in my life.
After seeing these prints, which were the actual images, I switched my attitued from being 'free choice' to pro-life.

I believe it is the right of all to voice their opinion. What I find wrong is anyone trying to tell a woman what she may or may not do with regard to her body. Abortion is a decision that only the pregnant woman can make and is no one elses business; not the state, not the feds, not the church, not the boyfriend or hubby.
And, I firmly believe that, while women may discuss the subject, a man has nothing to say about it until he can grow a uterus and become pregnant.
Abortion has always been a reality - long before Roe V Wade. Before that decision, women who had money could find a way to have a safe abortion even if it meant going overseas where it was legal. Those who didn't have the money resorted to coat hangars, poisons, back alleys and kitchen tables. Many died. So, no matter what the "law makers" do, abortion will be a reality. The only difference is will they be safe or will more women die. A woman who does not want to give birth - will not. It is as simple as that.

Not really. Having been there & done that she has first hand knowledge of what one who does have an abortion will go through mentally.
She might have found that it wasn't as easy to forgive herself & forget as she thought.
I still believe that abortion should be legal. Although I would suggest that a woman thinking of having an abortion should have to have counciling before she has it done, as well as some help in dealing with the feelings that often come after having an abortion.

She's a total hypocrite. There's stories of lots of women in the picket lines who eventually come to use the services of the abortion clinic, begging the staff not to tell other protestors. Then they show back up on the protest lines after their abortion! Good grief!

Not if she has had a change of heart; we are all allowed to change our minds. I don't trust links so I am going to guess you are talking about Roe; I love the fact she became a born-again Christian, not only because she came to Jesus, but also because it takes one of the "Pro-Choice movement's" biggest patron saints away.

Not at all. They regret having their abortions, which many of them wouldn't have had if they hadn't been legal. In fact, I think they, more than anyone, are the voice of knowledge, experience, and reason in the abortion debate. (Just for the record, I'm conservative, Catholic, pro-CHOICE.)

Yes, but people do change their minds. Older people(myself included) like to change laws to make up for our past regrets. It is hypocritical and I don't always like it, but it may not always be bad.

Personally, I try not to judge until I have walked a mile in their shoes....every situation is unique and we are mere mortals who have no right to judge one another. The truth is not what we want it to be!

She has first hand knowledge of her mistake. She is talking from experience. I would give her more credence than one who is talking from no experience. You don't have to agree with her, but at least respect her position and give it some thought.
