Convenience is the best word to describe a woman's decision making on whether to get an abortion. After all, the whole process of getting an abortion is convenient in much the same way that it's convenient to order a pizza and have it delivered to your door.

Yep, non-anesthetized invasive uterine surgery is the same as picking up a phone and pushing a few buttons.
Meh, I never needed to say anything. Your stupidity speaks for itself.
Well, no it isn't, seeing as she has to go to an abortion clinic -- and there's only one of those in the whole of Alabama, last I heard, so they ain't exactly the pizza place on the corner -- and then y'all have usually got some sort of protest going on outside, so she has to brave the gauntlet or get an escort to go inside.
And then there are parental notification laws. And someone tried to pass a bill through Congress to make it illegal for anybody -- relatives included -- to transport teen girls across state lines to get an abortion. I think it died in Congress, but people are trying. They really want women to be forced into childbirth. Perhaps they think it will scare 'em out of boinking, but I don't think that's particularly realistic thinking. Teen girls have been getting pregnant since time immemorial, so it's best to educate everybody about education and contraception so they know how to avoid it.

Oh I see.... you are guy, who will never ever have to make that decision.

Except if you are McCains running mate..o yea and white...and rich...and connected...
There's an idea for a new business--door-to-door abortions.
No, responsibility would be the watchword there. As in, "Gee, I'm not responsible enough to take care of a kid. I work at Taco Bell and Ricky's unemployed. We don't have the money to take care of children. And neither of us have health insurance. We can't afford prenatal care. That would be cruel. And I don't like babies, anyway. Perhaps it would be more responsible to not bring unwanted children into the world solely to abandon them to foster care, which really isn't the most reliable thing to do."
My sister-in-law regualrly got pregnant and wanted with all her heart to have children. Sadly she could never bring the pregnancies to term. Spontaneous abortions caused by.....who? God, of course. Nobody else wanted them.
Paper Hat's heartless comments are offensive and hurtful, in true Christian tradition, to people in that situation.
because having a metal probe shoved up her vagina to scrape the embryo off the insides of her womb is really fun and convenient, not unlike ordering pizza!
dumbass. go read your book.

I take it you've never heard of this site. It's a community/information site for women who had to get abortions for health and other reasons, despite wanting the baby , and their loved ones.
Fail. See me after class.
it's convenient in the same way as opting for an appendectomy is "convenient", rather than taking antibiotitcs and just hoping it doesn't burst and kill you.
Yes, it's so selfish of the woman when she decides not to bring a child into the world who will live a life of illness & misery.
Look if you really want the abortion numbers to drop, make contraceptives easily available.
Then again you don't really wnat to get rid of abortion, you want to punish the little whores for having premarital sex.
Yeah, except for the part about getting naked from the waist down and spreading your legs and getting your uterus scraped or suctioned out. But other than that, yeah, just like pizza.
I bet you are male, paper hat. There is nothing convenient or comfortable with an abortion. For most people it's an agonizing decision to have to make.
An abortion is not delivered at your door. You have to wait in line in a hospital waiting room, climb up into the gynecology chair and expose your "private parts". And then you'll have agonizing cramps and bleed for up to four weeks.
I have been busting my ass for the past six years of my life in order to become a doctor. Suppose some asshole rapes me and I become pregnant. If I keep the baby, it will ruin everything I've worked for, not to mention the emotional damage it will exact. I'm not sure if 'convenience' is exactly the right word.
Of course, you'd probably prefer that the female vulnerability of possible pregnancy stay in place.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
