My terms...? why would that matter..... So, you decided to kill off one of your offspring..... bad choice..... was it a girl? or did you already have enough boys? One less egg to fry......one less man to pick up after..... Life sure does get cheap when you already have a few hanging around the house.....No? BTW.....we might have adopted your child had you had the sense to allow him/her to live. And you could have been UncleDumbAssBIrd....... Notice I never asked if you "forced" this on your wife....but I think maybe you did.....and that's why your here....trying to make yourself feel better about your manly behavior. Shootie

As a genuine, dyed in the wool Southerner, I take umbrage at you, Mr. New York Liberal, calling Shootie a redneck as if it was some kind of insult. A redneck is a man who works in the fields all day long, and the skin on the back of his neck is burned permanently red. There's nothing dishonorable about being a redneck.

Rarebird, Could you please pass this on to your wife for me???? If you are struggling with the painful emotions of a past abortion decision, you are not alone. After an abortion, many women experience feelings of grief, anger, guilt, regret and emptiness. It is not uncommon to feel as though something is missing, or that things are out of order. These feelings are often referred to as "Post-Abortion Stress." Post-abortion stress (PAS) results when a woman or man represses the emotions that they have after an abortion experience. Use the checklist below to determine where you are in dealing with your past abortion experience. If you answer "yes" to any of these questions, you may be experiencing post-abortion stress... Are you experiencing Post-abortion Stress?? Are you struggling to turn off feeling connected to your abortion(s)?? Are you trying to make yourself "forget" about it?? Do physical reminders of your abortion such as babies, pregnant women, or baby clothes effect you?? Are you uncomfortable around children?? Are you depressed, sick or accident prone around the anniversary date of the abortion or due date?? Are you in a situation where you could be faced with another unwanted pregnancy?? Have you substantially increased use of drugs or alcohol?? Are you struggling with eating disorders, abusive relationships, or increased promiscuity?? Have you experienced prolonged depression?? Have you had suicidal thoughts since your abortion?? Have you had peculiar reactions to your experience, such as, nightmares, flashbacks or hallucinations?? Are you able to talk about abortion, or do your feelings overwhelm you when discussing it?? In relationships, do you have difficulty with intimacy, are you overly dependent on other people, or do you avoid meaningful relationships?? If you have children do you feel compelled to smother or overprotect them?? or do you have difficulty bonding with your children?? Do you fear that your past abortion will cause you future infertility problems??

I am very pleased to hear about your three liberal sons. Bravo. I hope you are not THAT rare a bird. And I hope the abortion worked out well for you and your wife. It's always a hard choice to make- but let me just tell you how much I support your wife's right to choose. It's hard to share the kind of information you just did- because inevitably you get the kind of twitlike posts such as Neeny posted, imagine!- or someone might even want to show you pictures of their dead preemie! As if this was important to you.
