I love this article and read it every week. I often love the advise given and I truly respect the research and thoroughness of said advise. This week however, I am disgusted. I am anti-abortion while also fully aware that I've never been in the situation where a decision like this would have to be made. I have however had a missed-abortion - a miscarriage for a planned pregnancy where the fetus did not survive but my body did not do what is natural and "shed" said fetus, therefore I had to have a procedure very much akin to an abortion.
Having said all this, I can tell you I strongly believe if I had been put in the situation where I had to make this very hard and life changing decision, I would choose the honourable and self-less choice to give the baby to a deserving and loving family. To imply to "LIFE" that there are only two options - abortion, or life - is a great misuse of the authority granted to you, Dan, in writing this article every week.
Being anti-abortion does not make me ignorant of individual struggles and life challenges. I have had the opportunity in my life to be there for and to support a friend while in our mid-teens as she was having her abortion. I supported her in her decision although I did not agree with it and she understood this and in turn respected me more.
My purpose for this comment is not to argue anti-abortion vs. anti-choice. It is to show you, Dan, as well as "LIFE" that just because a person has strong beliefs, does not make them ignorant or self-righteous. They can be compassionate as well as impassioned. Judgement doesn't have to be passed simply because different views are held.
My other purpose for this article is to point out to you, Dan, that if you want to hold on to loyal readers in the future, you should continue to give the thorough advise I have read in your articles in the past.
