I saw a girl come into my office today and she was so depressed over her abortion.. she attempted suicide 5 times!!. and then i saw pictures of an aborted baby. THAT IS SO mean an grotesque and u call it ur choice?, I

Answer 1

Ha, wow. Nice spelling and punctuation.

This question is guaranteed to get everyone riled up. I'm guessing this was your point all along.

Here's hoping you never get raped and end up pregnant with your attackers child or conceive a child who has a defect that will make life impossible.

Answer 2

Well Isabel, I would first expect another psychologist to be able to write and to use correct grammar. Utilizing texting terms aside, I would say that there are many enviromental, economcial, social and so on and so forth constraints that would lead some to believe that they in fact have no other option then to utilize abortion as the last resort that they perceive it to be. Being a pscyhologist certainly you would know the difference between a zygote, fetus, and finally a baby. One is not the other, and it is intellectually dishonest to say it is so, based merely on your moral beliefs.

Then saying that she attemtped to committed suicide 5 times and the sole reason for this was due to depression stemming from the abortion. How many sesssions have you used to be able to determine that this was the sole reason for her attempts? What diasnostic techniques have you used to determine this? And so expediently? You must be one great psychologist? Are you published? I would love to read the work of such a great thinker such as yourself.

Have you researched at all the attempted suicides due to post natal depression, or due to economical stress after having a baby, so on and so forth. And weighed it against suicides by women who have recently had an abortion.

Also are you in the habit of talking about your clients cases on such a public forum. Did you forget your ethics class back in college? Also are you in the habit of calling your clients mean and grotesque? If so why? Do you feel you need to be better then the clients that you see? Do you get some sort of satisfaction from it?

Isabel, to call yourself something when you are not is dishonest . And to those of us that are in the profession that you claim to be in, it is quite obvious. Please keep it to a minimum.

Answer 3

The very fact that a discussion on abortion is being had in a public forum happens to be what is wrong about the abortion issue. The "right" to have an abortion is not a choice that Americans need to discuss in public but is an issue that American women need to have with their doctors.

And if you are a psychologist then I'm George Bush!!!

Answer 4

For somebody with an advance degree you sure do have a minimal grasp of sentence structure.

That point aside, I am pro-choice. Thus far I have opted not to have an abortion, however in the instance that god forbid I was raped, my life was in danger, or the fetus had a catastrophic defect I would abort. In fact I would not think twice about it. In the first twelve weeks a fetus does not have a neurological system, thus no cognition. In the first 8 weeks the fetus does not have a respiratory system, thus no heartbeat.
Almost all abortions are done prior to that time. Referring to it as a baby is to entice an emotional response. It is not a baby, it neither has a heartbeat or a brain.

Answer 5

It is a right because the law says it is my right.

No moral discussion needed.

I am pro-choice but VERY pro-responsibility. I am very against using abortion as a method of birth control.

Personally, I don't think I could ever abort my baby no matter the circumstances, but:

A) I am not in those circumstances and cannot therefore say that with any certainty.

B) I cannot UNDER THE LAW decide that my personal opinions on aborting a child should affect the decisions of others.

If you want other answers you should lobby yahoo answers to create a "Morals and Ethics" section as "Law" and "Morals" do not go hand in hand and cannot be interchanged loosely.

Also, what University gave you your degree because I was thinking I could get my law degree in about two weeks there.

Answer 6

It is a right because the Supreme Court, which exists solely to adjudicate such disputed matters, has ruled so.

Not because I say so, or you say it shouldn't be, but because the legal system has heard all the arguments and ruled on them.

And no one is buying that when you write in that style that you are a psychologist. My GF is a trained psychologist and none of her colleagues ever has written in the style of a high school text message, especially in a professional context.

Answer 7

its not right, only leagal.

Its surpirsing to know that the roots of planed parenting have a very conservative support. Berry Goldwater' daughter had an abortion. I He didn't like it but at the same time he didn't think it was right for the govenment to have any say in the matter. His wife latter helped found planed parenting.

Answer 8

How can you say it is not?

Unless I miss my guess, we still live in a free society. Whether or not you agree with abortion, murder or any other crime, that does not give you the "RIGHT" to tell someone they have no choice in the matter.

Freedom is a matter of choices. If you don't like it, change it or leave. It's really that simple.

Answer 9

It's not a right, it is a profit for Leftist organizations.

8) Margaret Sanger's Planned Parenthood

a) "Margaret's [Sanger] topic of discussion was always sex. Her detour into labor activism had done little to dampen her interest in the subject. When it was her turn to lead an evening, she held [Mable] Dodge's guests spellbound, ravaging them with intoxicating notions of 'romantic dignity, unfettered self-expression, and the sacredness of sexual desire. Free love had been practiced quietly for years by the avant-garde intellectuals in the Village. Eugene O'Neill took on one mistress after another, immortalizing them in his plays. Edna St. Vincent Millay hopped gaily from bed to bed and wrote about it in her poems." George Grant, Grand Illusions: The Legacy of Planned Parenthood, p. 52.

The liberal Supreme Court from the past is responsible for a really horrendous decision.
