In response to "The right track"

I strongly disagree with this article. It is one thing to disagree with abortion but it is another to make a point so that you can shame individuals who are in favor of abortion or who have had them themselves. Yes I have seen the pictures and yes they are horrible. But who the hell are you to say what is right and what is wrong? I attend church and honestly when you read to me the part of the bible that states "Abortion is wrong." than perhaps I would see sense in your article. This debate has raged on for years and it will continue to. There is a such thing as seperation of CHURCH and STATE and I suggest that you look up the meaning. You can't just outlaw abortion because you feel it is against your faith. A mother who wants to have an abortion because it may cost her her life is not wrong, and its not her fault because she chose to have intercourse, she may not have known that she was putting her life into danger. What about the women who did'nt know that having a child would put her life in danger? What about the women with blood disorders who could bleed to death giving birth to a child? Are you going to tell them that it is ok and that they should just try anyway? Who are you to say that they are wrong for wanting to save their own life? I would also like to say does'nt the Catholic faith teach AGAINST the judgement of others? It is one thing to feel strongly about a subject but it is completely another to call someone a murderer for it. Not everyone has to agree with you and the church, and not everyone will. Don't you think that someone who has an abortion is going to have to live with that for the rest of their lives? Don't you think that they will have to pay in the afterlife as well? They have to live with that guilt and have it eat away at them forever. They have to live with all the what if's involved. They will have to live with it forever, so who are you to judge them for it? In the end it is up to that woman to make a decision. And it should be her right to have a say and have a choice. If they choose that path they have to live with it, you don't. Who are you to say what is right and what is wrong? There are many things in life that are not right or wrong, they are just different. Even thought you may feel abortion is wrong and someone else does not it does not give you justification to paint people who support abortion as murderers. I am not for or against abortion. But, as a woman, I think that it should be MY CHOICE.
