There are countless studies regarding how emotionally damaging abortions are to the mothers.
I have no doubt that is true. However ... there are MANY emotionally damaging things in life. Divorce, for example, is terribly emotionally damaging. Does that mean the federal government should ban marriage? Going to war is emotionally damaging. Working in an emergency room is emotionally damaging.
Everyone must have the right to lead their life as they see fit. If they make a mistake, they must deal with the consequences. What people do NOT need is a paternalistic government telling them what is and is not emotionally damaging to an individual, and attempting to legislate our choices away.
Making mistakes, making choices and dealing with the consequences is part of becoming a mature, responsible adult. I resent someone telling me I am too stupid to make those choices on my own.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
