It’s finally come to this (http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8NRLL580&show_article=1).


SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - A nonprofit organization has unveiled a series of electronic greeting cards that concerned friends and relatives can send to a woman after she chooses to have an abortion.
[…]
One card expresses sympathy, offering the gentle reminder that, “As you grieve, remember that you are loved.” Another provides encouragement for someone who “did the right thing.” Yet another strikes a religious tone with the thought that “God will never leave you or forsake you.”
But as Allah notes (http://hotair.com/archives/2007/03/14/finally-abortion-e-cards-now-available/), they’re all so glum (http://www.4exhale.org/support/cards/index.php). So he’s offered a sample of an “upbeat card (http://hotair.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/empower.png)“… you know for those “abortion is morally good (http://www.texasrainmaker.com/2007/02/23/in-liberal-utopia-abortion-is-a-moral-good/)” folks.

I agree they’re a bit gloomy. They almost reflect a sadness over something cherished that’s been taken away… rather than that empowered feeling (http://www.texasrainmaker.com/2004/07/27/i-thought-it-was-about-choice/) of having just rid yourself of a nuisance that was hindering your career…

Maybe we can also design some Death Announcements, with a cute little picture of the medical waste bag and all… you know, for the scrapbook.
My personal favorite, listed as a "spiritual" card:

The phenomenon is kind of strange, that's for sure. It serves as a good illustration, though, of the very real emotional and moral turmoil peole who have abortions go through.

It wasn't too long ago when legal abortion was supposed to be liberating; just a surgical procedure that meant nothing. I recall several 70's and 80's movies that drove home that meme -- women who felt no guilt, no remose, nothing. (Examples ... Caddyshack, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, others). Well, the reality is that abortion IS painful, it does hurt, and it means a whole lot.

There's more to say on the issue, but the point here is, something that was supposed to liberate has only created more problems, and I'm not so sure it's liberating to begin with.

What about a "Congratulations on your Abortion" card.

I prefer the Hallmark Mahogany cards because theyre written in ebonics. The ladies love smooth ghetto lines.

Circular logic at its best.

That a very successful public relations campaign by certain religious groups in some parts of the world has managed to inculcate larges swaths of certain cultures with the attitude that the procedure is wicked and has an inherent spiritual element does not mean that such attitudes are universal, much less natural.

Welcome aboard my 'compassionate conservative' friend!

I've never understood the whole "compassionate conservative" thing. Upon hearing these platitudes, we "purist" conservatives chuckle and say things like "what, we weren't compassionate to begin with!?"

Abortion saves lives and with medication is not that painful. Worth every penny. PLease urge more people to have them.
