Last week, a new report came out that showed women were more casual about abortions now – rather than something to be avoided, some women would have multiple abortions instead of using birth control (or heaven forbid, abstaining altogether).
A dramatic rise in repeat abortions has reinforced fears that women are increasingly having terminations for lifestyle reasons.
…
Women between 20 and 24 have taken over from teenagers as the largest age group to have terminations, while only one in 100 abortions is carried out solely because of a medical risk to the baby.
“Lifestyle reasons”? As if that attitude toward eliminating a baby wasn’t cavalier enough, a radio show in Washington D.C. had a call-in contest for the listener with the most abortions. Some callers asked if there was a prize, like a t-shirt or a shop-vac.
First, there’s the woman who had a forced abortion when she was 13.
Caller: “Yeah, hi, you’re, you’re uh talking about abortion.”
Elliot: “Yes. Just having a little contest.”
Caller: “Yeah, I was uh 13 and dating this guy for like six months. I got pregnant by him.”
Elliot: “At 13?!”
Caller: “Yeah. And I don’t really know my mother’s side of the family that well.”
Elliot: “Right”
Caller: “So we went to one of his family get-togethers and I recognized the lady that turned out to be my grandmother.”
Elliot: “Pardon me?”
Caller: “And it turns out that he was my second cousin”
Elliot: “Sweet.”
Caller: “I was like two months pregnant and my father forced me to get an abortion.” Laughter.
Ugh. Catholic Online andMichelle Malkin don’t think it’s funny, either.
