Feeding the beast…
Thousands of women in the UK have had four or more abortions.
I know, I know. In our pro-life vs. pro-choice age we can’t say anything bad about the mother who kills her unborn child, because she is really the victim in all of this. Just because she is pregnant - in or out of wedlock - doesn’t mean the choice to kill her baby was entirely her fault.
Long ago, in the olden days, it was common to say an unmarried woman who became pregnant and opted for marriage, “had to get married“. Now days, when marriage is out of fashion, many say, she “had to get an abortion“. See how the woman is victimized? And to suggest that the woman acted immorally, or that her dead baby was the real victim, is to victimize the poor mother twice.
Department of Health figures uncovered by this newspaper show that during 2006 more than 3,800 women underwent at least their fourth abortion, including more than 1,300 who were on their fifth or more. Of more than 60,000 women who underwent a “repeat” abortion, almost 15,000 were on their third.
These included 65 women who had their sixth abortion by the age of 30, and 82 girls aged under 18 who had already experienced three, and more than 50 women who had had eight abortions or more.
On Saturday night, campaigners for legal changes expressed shock at the picture uncovered. Dr Peter Saunders, general secretary of the Christian Medical Fellowship, said: “This is just so grotesquely bleak.” He said the situation was “approaching the sorts of things we used to hear about Soviet Russia.
“When you try to imagine a woman who has had eight abortions, or perhaps more, it is absolutely clear that she is using it as a form of contraception.” - Telegraph
Evidently repeated abortions are so much more convenient than carrying a baby to term.
