Some say memorial provides comfort, others call it offensive
Women who have aborted their babies are trying to find different ways to heal. They know what they have done is wrong, and one way to try and save their souls is to put the baby's name on a tombstone.
I can not have empathy for these women. I do not know how it feels to be responsible for someone's death...and I hope I never do.
Which side sounds more "hateful"...that is a word the Left loves to use when they do not like what conservative say.
A few quotes from the mothers:
"It's a place for mothers to heal and sense being with their little ones," whether there was an abortion or a miscarriage, Lois Ehley said. "The hurt's the same."
"We are a people of signs and symbols and rituals. Parents of aborted, miscarried and stillborn babies have missed that opportunity to grieve,"
From the pro-abortion people:
"They're another way to shame women who have had abortions and to marginalize them. For many women, it's quite offensive and quite presumptuous," she said.
"The whole idea of memorializing aborted fetuses is just a misdirected step," Sorry....it was the murder that was misdirected. But the Left also likes to say people are stupid when others think differently from them as well.
also...if most people support abortion, why are these memorials:
"a growing phenomenon over the last five to seven years."
These women are trying to peace with God...they killed a human being. To be accurate, some of these mothers had miscarriages, but the hurt is still the same.
Unfortunately this is not a "choice" you can take back.

people have memorial masses for anyone they want...there is nothing wrong with that...
and make sure you understand...it is the Left that is not tolerant..
groups like the ACLU and other Leftist groups are the ones restricting speech they don't like.
Which women who have had abortions "know what they have done is wrong"? All women? A majority of women? Some women? Raped or abused women? You have no way of knowing this. Many do not believe it is wrong. A serious, emotional decision, do doubt. But wrong? Where is your data?
I think it is at least presumptuous and more likely offensive to any woman who has had a miscarriage to characterize the hurt of a miscarriage as the same as an abortion. How could the loss of a desired child hurt the same as the loss of an unwanted fetus?
"Parents of aborted, miscarried and stillborn babies have missed that opportunity to grieve." How is it that they have missed that opportunity to grieve? Did Senator Santorum and his family miss their opportunity to grieve?
"But the Left also likes to say people are stupid when others think differently from them." But the Right think people are baby killing murderers when others think differently from them, no?
If most people support abortion, why are these memorials...a growing phenomenon?
Logic? Your question makes no sense. Texas Hold 'em is a growing phenomenon over the last five to seven years. Does that mean most people like to gamble? Of course not.
This is a guess because you cite no source, but I'm pretty sure that the "abortion memorials" were not created by nor for women who have had abortions, but by and for those who do not approve of women having abortions.
Jim,
guess you are not smart enough to know that you can click on the title of the story for the link...
and how class...its time for recess.
very nice job commish...
I knew you had it in you...
Since Republicans don't do nuance, I'll explain.
When I referred to the loss of a child, I meant the loss of a wanted future child, planned, dreamed of, first day of school, braces, wedding, grandchildren, etc. Until the fetus is born, it is a fetus. The unexpected loss of a fetus would be very difficult and grievous loss for a woman.
The expected, planned loss of a fetus, while a serious matter with serious ramifications, is not the loss of a child because the pregnant woman does not dream of the life of a future child. It is the end of an unwanted pregnancy.
Game,
Before you go about accusing someone of being stupid, maybe you should step back and think about it. Your page as I view it this evening has 28 titles/posts since September 6th. I note that of those 28 posts, 16, the majority, DO NOT link to anything while 12 do. So forgive me if I didn't realize that this particular post had a title with a hyperlink.
How telling that you blow off my entire post by focusing on one minor phrase.
Commish,
You have your choice of words to frame your argument. I am not bound by them for mine. I prefer to frame my points in my own words.
9 of the last 10 have atleast one link...
That's a dodge. You were talking about the titles. I know what underlined text means.
and we have gotten completely off topic...
