He should be presented as the savior of the unborn ... those born after a necessary abortion
Writing five weeks after her abortion, she said, "I hate that my son is gone. I hate that I had to make the decision to end his life. I hate that my womb and my arms are empty. But I am strengthened in the fact that I made my decision by focusing on him and what was best for him. I am eternally grateful to the wonderful people that guided me through this horrible experience with compassion, love, and understanding."

(1,201 posts)Lied about the life saving service he was giving women who for medical life saving reasons had to have a late term abortion. Nothing Tiller did was haphazard or unnecessary. He made it possible for Men to tell their sons and daughters Tiller saved them from being orphans. But O'Riley lied daily about what was going on and made it seem like tiller enjoyed killing babies if the price was right. O'Rilley killed Tiller is absolutely true.

(802 posts)An odd aspect of abortion is that it has saved the ultra-conservatives, electorally.
Most of the 55 million fetuses aborted would have been born into homes that are primarily liberal and democratic. That means about 25 million (!) more likely democratic voters from 1973 to 2000.
Had these fetuses become voters, Trump would never be POTUS. The evangel-RW never recognizes this.

(1,568 posts)He told me once about a patient. He left out most identifying information but he was just heartbroken over her. She was 11. Had been repeatedly raped by her older, teen, brother and become pregnant. She didn't understand, truly, what was happening to her body and it was the second trimester before everyone figured it out. She was so young, so tiny that her health and future fertility was on the line if she didn't have an abortion - not to mention her mental health.
I remember he said she literally was still playing with dolls in an attempt to understand what was happening to her.
