Maybe the experience of having an abortion would make the woman a better mother in the longterm, because the feeling of guilt and remorse of possibly losing the child would make her more determined to have a baby when she's ready and prepared for such a thing.

No, I don't.
BUT, I would condone some form of medical sterilization until such time as an individual or couple can meet guidelines that would establish a 'right to reproduce'.

The problem is its being completley abused. I know a girl that is 27 now and she has had 3 abortions, she has never been raped she's just a slut. The fact remains no matter how you dress it, it's murder.

But have you stopped having sex?
No sex, no baby, no abortion, no murdering Dr.'s.
Why don't men ever say this? Because deep down you still think it's your right to control by brute force.
Just that simple.
No conception, no abortion. Have sex all you want.
Oops, condom broke, oops forgot pill, oops, IUD fell out.............there is no sure 100% protection against pregnancy except abstinence. And, since women are the gate keepers (except for a man using brute force to rape), then perhaps women should just say "no" from now on.

I like your post.
But - please don't assume any/all women feel guilt or remorse of losing a child - - because they abort.
That is just not the case.

Imagine that. I get so tired of this being the woman's fault.

Yes - that is probably the case in some cases, or infact the majority. I'm hoping most would-be mothers give such a major choice a lot of thought before going through with it. As in both outcomes would most likely be a life-changer.

Question - what line of work are you in? Don't have to be specific.
I happened to notice that the OP said they were in a med field, and you seem focused on med issues also, so I am just curious.

No one has too back it up. There are reams of fetal development online. Read up. FIrst trimester is not consciousness. And prove theres a soul without consciousness, since IT IS CONSCIOUSNESS. Bet you can't can you. Isn't it odd, the military looking avatars seem to have this mindset. I wouldn't even allow my sons to have your avatar online or what it says. But my reproductive system isn't yours or Big Brothers to dictate to. I like Canada in its sane laws: first trimester, fully covered by medicare. Universal access.

I just find it odd (please don't hate me for this) that you have problems with killing un-born babies whose parents don't want them hence won't adequately look after them hence the child would have a second-class life (possibly even be neglected)
but you eat animals.
One may call that hypocrytical.
As i said, don't hate me for this. I'm just after an intelligent conversation leading to enlightenment

Is that what I said?
Again you speak about the woman being dumb.
