Your post is exactly why it should be in its own thread. I like "celebrated." It really shows your narrow mulishness. No one celebrates anything around the decision to terminate a pregnancy. No one calls anything around termination of a pregnancy a "blessing." But that is the sort of narrative -- distinct from a discussion
What was that?quote=DMac post_id=198242 time=1603990157 user_id=582]You can add all the education (better start it at about six years old and pound it home hard too) and contraception you want, there are still going to be plenty of unwanted pregnancies. There's a reason for the "off like a prom dress" expression. In the real world, the heat of the moment (particularly with teens) is more often than not going to throw caution to the wind.

I proposed eliminating it as an elective surgery and adding education and contraception.
You didn’t budge and still want open abortion access to all.
So I’ve got plenty of right to call it as I see it. Most women take their decision to abort to the grave with them, telling no one.
If abortions weren’t tragedies, or were “blessings” people would probably celebrate them. But we haven’t seen too many “abortion announcements” floating around.
But perhaps that’s the next new wave after this gender reveal balloon fad goes away...
Don't believe you in that most women tell no one. I've been blown away over the years by the number of little Catholic girls I've known who had abortions during their HS years (maybe kids are smarter about it today than in my time, but I doubt it). Seems to me as if a lot of them told their brothers which is where I learned it from. Have heard many a father of young girls tell me of their trips to the abortion clinics too. You say there are 600K+/yr. Yup, don't doubt it.
Yes, these trips were a blessing for many despite how you feel about it.
We celebrate blessings, right?
