To be so upset about abortion protesters?

[CundtBake]

I have posted a few times about my pregnancy and my decision to have an abortion. I had medical treatment a few weeks ago that didn't work, and I had to return to the clinic today.

I've been an emotional wreck ever since I found out I was pregnant, it's not a decision I have taken lightly at all and the fact that my first treatment was unsuccessful has made it all the more traumatic.

On my way in today I was faced with protestors holding up huge pictures of unborn babies, shouting at me that my baby has a heartbeat and stuff like that. By the time I got into the clinic I was sobbing and haven't stopped.

My situation probably isn't an unusual one, it hasn't been easy and I will probably always feel guilty and upset. I feel so violated that these people think it's appropriate to make me feel worse, to judge me for a situation I assume they haven't been in (especially since a lot of them were men).

I then also thought, what about girls and women who have been raped? What about girls who have been abused and are way too young to carry out a pregnancy let alone give birth? How can they justify what they are doing without knowing every single persons situation walking into that clinic?

Their pictures are still haunting me. I just don't understand how people can do that and think it's ok. I understand everyone has their views on abortion which they are entitled to. But to actively go out and try to distress people like that, how can they think that's ok?

CundtBake I was wrong - there's always two. I'm sorry the harrasser-types (I won't call them protesters any more, as if they wanted the laws changed they'd be outside parliament, not harrassing already-distressed women) have come here, too. Good god, as if you haven't enough to deal with.

Sassy can fuck right off with her sentimental feotus fetishising bs.

Op I am sorry. It is a disgrace that women accessing legal medical services can be hounded and harassed.

I have no clue of course where about in the country you are but I live in Edinburgh. If that is anywhere near you and you need physical support to get to the clinic again, please pm me. I sincerely mean that. Xxx

My post might be uncomfortable for some people to read , but it is factual

Finney that's really caring I was brought up as a catholic and we had some horrible videos enforced on us at school the vast majority of people who choose termination for whatever reason need to be supported as it is not an easy decision good luck op I agree with you Finney ( in case it sounds like I don't).

Thanks so much Wilson that's really kind. I'm actually in England but my DP will be coming to my next appointment, and people tend to assume its not a good idea to shout at him

Any other day I may have been able to summon up a half decent argument as to why sassys post is so bloody stupid. But I'm exhausted. And it would be wasted on them.

I do really appreciate the support from everyone else

I hope you get a good night's sleep and regain the strength you need x.

Sassy didn't you embarrass yourself enough on the last thread with your 'abortion court' suggestion? Just do one.

Hugs OP, I hope if I'm ever in your position I can be as strong.

What I can never understand about the harassers; is that if they care so much about the welfare of children, why are they waving those horrid placards around in the full view of my children, leaving me having to explain what they are?

I am sorry basgetti I don't know who appointed you head prefect
, but I do know that evil prospers when good people say nothing and ending a human life is evil.

No sassy it is not. It is a perfectly legal medical procedure. Op is doing nothing wrong by seeking an abortion. She is not evil. Now if you want to debate in this way, start a new thread. Others will be along to agree with you, no doubt. Others will debate with you and give you the attention you crave. But this thread is about support for a poster who has decided on the course of action which is right for her. You can't change her mind and you aren't helping. So do one.

sassy if you want a change in the law, harass Parliament, not vulnerable women.

Sassy, on the basis that "evil prospers when good people say nothing", I've reported your post for its vicious hounding of a distressed woman.

Cundtbake look after yourself whatever I say will come across wrong but I mean well be at peace with your decision it's the right one .xx

Cundtbake sorry you're having to go through this. I understand how angry these people must make you but please do not waste your energy on them.

I think we've had a very good example of the sanctimonious mentality of these protesters on this thread. I'm quite surprised they have time in their busy schedule of halo polishing and smug back-patting to post.

legal is not the same as moral

Sassy do piss off. Nobody's interested in your narrow minded bullshit.

sassy why target an obviously vulnerable and distressed woman instead of legislators? Why not start a new thread? It is surely evil to hound the poor OP.

Sassy, just fuck off to the far side of fuck will you.
Now, I did say to Cundt to leave the intelligent debating for tonight and the rest of us would do it for her, but an intelligent debate cannot be had here. You are not being factual sassy, just rude, selfish and downright vicious.

You poor love. Your body, your decision alone. Nobody has the right to judge you for that.

Hope you find peace and there's someone looking after you tonight.

..,also, if so many people disagree with me, then please, enter into a debate about the issue-on another thread if need be.
Name calling, swearing amd threats give the impression that you have no valid argument to make

Well I am sorry if youbthink I have hounded the op.I would never want to do that.I have addressed 1 post to her on a debating board.I don't think that could be classed as' hounding!!'

OP - it's your body and your choice. No one with any intelligence or compassion would wish to judge you. I suggest anyone you rushes to do so should just fuck off.
Take care.

sassy, glad you understand the difference between legal and moral.
Laws set out what a society deem to be acceptable and unacceptable behaviours. Morals are dictated to others by smug c*s like you. Do you think it's morally right to harass an emotionally vulnerable woman?

I'd like to make it illegal for abortion protestors to get within 500ms of a clinic, let them have their right to free speech and their moral protest somewhere else.

Cundt, take care of yourself.

Well, I do think you have been hounding the OP. So I've also reported your posts.

Not interested in debating with you tbh.

to OP.

No because it's not for you to say such horrible things to the OP when she's had such a distressing time. If you want a reasonable debate, start a new thread. Don't come into a support thread and harangue a vulnerable woman. That's what people are swearing at, your bloody insensitivity and rudeness. If you hate evil so much, maybe try stop being evil yourself.
