I just got an email...Should they really advocate abortion?

I am pro-life, too, Erilyn, and when I tell someone in these parts where I live (in very liberal San Francisco) that I am pro-life, people turn and look at me as though I am the murderer... because these people have all bought the propaganda put out by the pro-abortion forces that women are dying by self-induced abortions and we have to make abortion available on demand to protect women's lives. NO. What those women really need is good counseling to see the challenge they face. I had an abortion 37 years ago. I very much regret it. I was railroaded into it by my aunt because she did not want me to tell my mother who would have become hysterical, you know. If I had gotten counseling, I could have made a REAL CHOICE. Choosing abortion usually means they haven't been given an opportunity to really think it through, is what I think. Even if I gave the child up for adoption, after 18 years that child might come looking for me and I would have a child in my life. As it is now I am a childless woman and past menopause. It is very sad. Oslo, Norway. The Scandinavians believe in abortion. They also believe in euthanasia and gay marriage. In Denmark where gay marriage is legal, straight people have stopped getting married because it doesn't feel sacred anymore. Those Norwegians have divorced themselves from God, that is the problem. I belonged to a minister's email discussion group some time ago. There was a minister in Norway who was bemoaning the state of affairs in his country -- with abortion and euthanasia. People there are turning away from God's Laws. It is sad. What kind of company is Arca Max? A lot of liberals have talked themselves into thinking that a woman's right to choose is paramount to God's Law. They may not realize that the woman might not have chosen abortion if she really got proper counseling while she was pregnant.

This sounds like a classic example of a very nasty type of spam. I really don't know what the motives behind such emails are. Pre-eclampsia is a fairly common complication of pregancy, especially of a first pregancy. Because it is fairly common, your doctor or midwife will be well aware of the possibility and will be very ready to give treatment if necessary. The real facts about pre-eclampsia can be found here http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/complications/pre-eclampsia/ It's important not to be too concerned about it. Although it may affect about 7 pregnancies in every 100, it can be controlled and it's worth remembering that the majority of pregnancies result in a completely normal child.

I have never heard abortion being advocated for health. That suggestion is certainly not family friendly. In pregnancy a midwife takes blood pressure and looks at a sample of urine. At 36 weeks pregnancy I had high blood pressure and protein in my urine. My midwife thought I might have pre-eclampsia so I went for testing in my local hospital. No I didn't have pre-eclampsia but they found out my baby had spina bifida. The next day I visited the fetal medicine unit. In the morning I was offered an abortion and I said no way. In the afternoon I viewed the special care baby unit and that a very emotional time for me. My son was born at home then spent 3 weeks in a special care baby unit. No pregnant lady wishes to develop pre-eclampsia but having abortions to avoid getting it would be awful. A reason for a lady to have an abortion might be not wanting a baby at that time in her life like she might be in the middle of her degree. Whilst I would never have an abortion but adoption would be fine if I needed to. I respect that people have the right to make the choice to have an abortion if it is legal. I think that many people will complain about the content of the email. Abortion is unfortunate for the lady and kills an innocent baby. Pro- choice people think it is the lady's right to decide and they don't say abortion is beneficial. I am pro-life.

Yes abortion is wrong. It kills babies. I believe that conception begins long before the child is born. You can have a healthy pregnancy with pre eclampsia.. However you will have to have a C-section.

Huh. I hope nobody decides to get knocked up and aborted just for this. Plus, I don't think it's the best arguement to say, not outlaw abortion, but it is an interesting piece of news. I don't think that this information should be withheld by people who don't want abortions to happen, but I can't imagine them sending it out either. I've never actually heard of pre-eclpampsia, so I can't say I know an inkling about it, if it's an epidemic, or rare, or anything.

It sounds like a mistake. I guess Arca max didn't check the link.
