How Many Abortions Does it Take to Make You Psycho?
I noticed in my post about the woman who had 15 abortions in 17 years that there were a number of people that thought the woman was mentally ill.
They used words like “sick,” “gross” and “disgusting.” In fact, there were people that thought she needed professional help.
All this time I thought it was her body to do what she wanted with it.
Then I started to wonder how many abortions does it take to decide a woman needs professional help. Certainly a woman wouldn’t need professional help after having one abortion. I imagine that the second abortion would be pretty normal.
I imagine that at the third abortion we would start to think there was a problem. So I thought we could settle on 4 abortions as having a problem.
Do you think a woman should be forced to get professional help if she has more than 4 abortions?

i love light bulb jokes.
I think a woman should be forced to seek help if she is using abortions as a form of birth control or if she is having such a problem getting pregnant so much (despite birth control, condoms, etcetera) and that she needs to possibly be sterilized.
They should after one. They are usually grief stricken and need counseling anyway.
Dan…Dan…Must you always be the controversial blogger? Yeah, as a woman, who is neither republican or democrat, I would say that it would take one messed up chick to have that many abortions.
Mhmm… 5. You should have common sense about birth control by then.
Oh btw…you know I loveyou
I think before and after the first one they should see a counselor, just because it can be traumatic. And hopefully there wont be a second, third, fourth and so on.
no.
Good question. I think so, because obviously, something crazy is up. I mean, how many times can you screw up without learning your lesson, and how many times should you be permitted to do so without intervention? I think she did/does need help, and I don’t say that just because she’s having abortions. If it were anything else, I would say the same.
Something definitely isn’t right with that chick. Time for some therapy and analysis!
kind of funny how the same people who oppose abortions also oppose the use of birth control for unmarried teenagers.
They should offer counseling anyway. I am with @NightCometh - on that. It is not natural for a human to kill it’s own young.
I’m for pro-choice and everything, but If it was me, and I had to get 4 abortions, I think there would be something wrong with my decisions, not necessarily my psyche. However, she’s averaging at about one abortion per year…
no number specifies but at any abortion in this state there is a mandatory psych consult.
Depends on the length of time they’re separated by. If it’s close to one a year than no. Also, it depends on the person’s mental resilience.
Since I have am personally against abortion it would only take one to prove that I had lost my mind.
Do we force women who have more than 4 children to seek professional help?
I’m not understand this three strikes rule for abortions. If you think there needs to be an intervention after the third abortion, why not for the first? Shit happens (and it can happen mulitple times). I mean, isn’t that one reason why abortion is legal?
After one definitely. After four? Hysterectomy.
oh heavens! I CERTAINLY couldnt have that many. one, if i absolutely had to,and i think i’d be psychologically messed up from that. i jsut dont understand how someone wouldnt be, even a little bit! that’s 15 “could-have-beens” on your mind…
… wouldn’t it have been easier to… avoid getting pregnant to begin with if she did not want to have a baby?
Mm. Maybe 3 would be the turn off for help.
let’s ask the tootsie-pop owl of his opinion on this one… personally i think the world will never know
Hey Dan… this is your reminder..trollish as it may be. I love love you. No matter what anyone else says, You’re my stand up trollish guy
not forced, but i would be a little curious after having to tear out another fetus through their uterus X_x
I feel as though a woman has a right to chose wether or not to have a child… but 15?!?!!? Seriously, my roommate had one and it took her forever to get over it.. I couldn’t imagine going through that so many times.. I do feel that after a certain amount a woman does need to seek some sort of help mentally.
@fading_roses19 - Ditto! “After one definitely. After four? Hysterectomy.”
I believe all women should be given counseling by the abortion clinic, most clinics require it before the procedure. They can make recommendations – e.g., “Ma’am, our records show this isn’t your first abortion. Do you need birth control info? Are you in an unsafe relationship? We recommend you seek professional counseling.” And after that, it’s up to the woman.
Nobody should be forced to get mental help. Involuntary commitment is an infringement upon the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness so long as he or she is not a threat to others.
I don’t think it’s the abortions that made her crazy. I think there was something going on before if this woman got these abortions to spite her husband or something. I mean, getting pregnant to purposly take out the baby to make a statement isn’t normal. I think she and her husband should’ve gotten marriage counseling, as I stated previously.
@mtngirlsouth - It is not natural for a human to kill it’s own young. My hubby was just saying why is abortion ok & not bad parenting or killing your kids? …It’s because none are ok, abortions (other than health related) allow people to do the wrong thing & kill the person standing in their way of getting things back to norm.
It is not natural for a human to kill it’s own young.
I think after one they should have counseling.
If you were to test the DNA of the aborted “material” you would find unique DNA for each and every incident indicating a human being. Let’s forget age and location for a minute. If a woman killed 15 people, what would her sentence be? Would she be guilty or innocent of murder? Could she be psychologically profiled as a serial killer? Her motives were not for any reason but selfishness, emotional displacement, and some severe head issues in general.
I would be curious to read theb ook, honestly, I’m just not sure I could stomach it.
(Side note, don’t places liek Planned Parenthood and such require speaking with a counselor at the time of the decision and at the follow up?)
I don’t understand the issue. If it’s only removing fetal tissue from her own body, then she can have as many as she wants without it being deemed “sick”, “disgusting”, etc. And if it is a living human, I would argue that one abortion is sick.
Nope. Who do you think should do the forcing?
abortions are [usually] a choice a woman makes on her own either because she can’t afford or take care of the baby, or she can’t do the same for herself… honestly if a woman has more than 2 or 3 or 4 abortions, she obviously doesn’t learn from the first time. So even if it’s her 15th abortion, she should look into what causes pregnancy and how having unprotected sex is standard with it XD
No! Jesus Christ. Some people take measures to prevent pregnancy (pills, condoms, implants, etc.) and get pregnant anyways…sometimes more than once…should they be forced to seek professional help just because they’re super fertile and don’t want/can’t afford a kid? No fucking way. That’s retarded.
How hard is it to not have sex?! Or at least use some birth control if you can’t control your hormones. Seriously. Or ya know, if birth control fails you..stop having sex. But whatever. Sometimes people’s hormones at one tiny moment are more important than their emotional state from having an abortion. But it is their body right? They can abuse it how they choose.
I think if u have 15 abortions then u probably don’t want kids, so why not get ur tubes tied?
No. Think of all the money people could make off this woman.
Or… she should get her baby machine cut. But no more farming money from her. ):
@nodiadau - i oppose abortions, but i definitely support birth control for unmarried teenagers. i know many more people who feel that way than who oppose both…
FUCK YES!!!
I think it’s nobody’s business what other women do with thier bodies….
shouldnt she be embarassed
Probably. But with 42 million abortions between 1973 and 2002 it’s clearly more than one woman who needs help.
I would say in a certain given time period, yes. She should be on birth control…those babies didn’t need to die.
It becomes medically risky after 3, so I think if a woman has 3 she should see a counselor to avoid danger to her own health from any further abortions. Personally I think any woman who has had even one abortion should get some counseling because it is an emotionally traumatic event for most women. I know several who “celebrate” their baby’s would-have-been birthdays 10+ years later.
o yeah..
I am pro choice, but I personally don’t believe in abortions. Losing a sister at birth permanently turned me away from abortions. I think one is too many…but after 2 or 3 I would say she needs professional help.
From every woman I’ve met who has had an abortion, some kind of therapy or counseling would have be a healthy choice because they ended up being wrecked as a person because of the decision. I’m not saying that any woman who gets an abortion is crazy or mentally ill. I’m saying that abortions can cause a lot of emotional and mental damage on a woman and that it might be wise to seek some counsel after the decision for personal health reasons. This won’t be the case with all women of course and I wouldn’t say it should be mandatory by any means. It’s like when a cop shoots someone, you gotta talk it out.
@whitetrashpoet - Or offered at the absolute least! Pre-abortion and post abortion counseling should be available and free (at least the first session). The price could be added to the cost of the abortion. Though, you’d have to keep it reasonable otherwise people will start doing it under the table and in the alley with coat hangers more and nobody wants that.
As long as abortions are legal…….
and the argument that it is a woman’s right to do with her body as she wants……
I guess there shouldn’t be a limit on how many you can have.
After all, there’s nothing wrong with removing “excess tissue”, is there?
All she is doing is exercising her right. You start limiting abortions and then what’s next? Limiting the number of guns a person can have?
of course, you’d think by now her body wouldn’t be able to support pregnancies anymore….
Wild stuff.
Since when is it up to the masses to decide what any human being can do with her body?
This is a medical issue. Therefore, we butt the fuck out.
@Lady_Kelacy - since when is DNA considered a person? By your logic, any time a man masturbates, he is commiting genocide.
@BeKa28 - Abortions are legal in the United States because of the fact that fetuses are not considered citizens. You are not a citizen until you are born. Until you are born, you lack rights.
Here is a small section of the oral reargument from Roe vs. Wade on Oct 11, 1971…
“MRS. WEDDINGTON: I think had there been established that the fetus was a
person, under the Fourteenth Amendment, or under constitutional protection,
then there might be a differentiation.
In this case, there has never been established that the fetus is a person,
or that it’s entitled to the Fourteenth Amendment rights, or the protection
of the Constitution. It would be inconsistent to decide that, after birth,
various classifications of persons would be subject to the death penalty or
not.
But here we have a person-the woman-entitled to fundamental constitutional
rights, as opposed to the fetus prior to birth, where there is no
establishment of any kind of Federal constitutional rights.
JUSTICE BLACKMUN: Well, do I get from this, then, that your case depends
primarily on the proposition that the fetus has no constitutional rights?
MRS. WEDDINGTON: It depends on saying that the woman has a fundamental
constitutional right; and that the State has not proved any compelling
interest for regulation in the area.
Even if the Court, at some point, determined the fetus to be entitled to
constitutional protection, you would still get back into the weighing of
one life against another.
JUSTICE STEWART: That’s what’s involved in this case? Weighing one life
against another?
MRS. WEDDINGTON: No, Your Honor. I say that would be what would be
involved, if the facts were different and the State could prove that there
was a “person” for the constitutional right.
JUSTICE STEWART: Well, if-if it were established that an unborn fetus is a
person, with the protection of the Fourteenth Amendment, you would have
almost an impossible case here, would you not?
MRS. WEDDINGTON: I would have a very difficult case.
JUSTICE STEWART: I’m sure you would. So, if you had the same kind of thing,
you’d have to say that this would be the equivalent- after the child was
born, if the mother thought it bothered her health any having the child
around, she could have it killed. Isn’t that correct? “
Here is the link the above quote was taken from….

Honestly, it’s her body, but she might want to consult a professional or at least open a health book.
Does she not use birth control or what?!?! Dear god!
You had to hit a nerve didn’t you? I’m solely AGAINST abortions. I don’t care if the “GOVERNMENT” doesn’t think of the baby as a human life until they reach a certain point in the pregancy. Once the embryo is in you, it is a human life and you have no business taking it away, just b/c you are irresponsible. The baby doesn’t have a choice in the matter. It’s not like the baby was in your head saying, “Have sex. Get pregnant with me.”
I’m sorry, but people need to either practice safe sex or not have sex at all. And in todays world, it should be common sense for a woman to be put on birth control after she gets her first cycle.
There is another way to handle an unplanned pregnancy. If you do not want the baby, give the baby up for adoption. The baby didn’t do anything wrong and should not be executed. Why should an innocent baby be executed over someone elses stupidity? It doesn’t make any damn sense.
Those who get abortions tell themselve it’s not murder, so they don’t have to deal with feeling guilty and like a cold, heartless individual. In my opinion, anyone who gets an abortion should be executed in the same way they executed their baby. Because think about it, how would you like it if someone decided they didn’t want you in their life and stabbed you in your brainstem??? Or if they grabbed forceps and squeezed your head until you died? And to top it off, were never hauled off to jail and brought to justice?
@lotta_valdez - First of all, DNA patterns are entirely unique to only one creature except in rare cases of twins.And, an actually, my logic does not imply masturbation as genocide becuse it is the man’s own DNA he is disposing of, much the same as giving blood or hair, his DNA from his body. What developes from a combining of two DNA patterns into a new one-of-a-kind DNA pattern is a new individual seperate from either parent’s DNA, this is referred to as reproducing, among other terms.
When one human body knowingly injures another human body, the law as it has been established, is required to follow certain procedures to deal with the crime. What a person, let’s say a woman, does with her own body as long as it does not harm another is theoretically up to her. Once that body harms another, a crime has been committed. Therefore, When one set of DNA harms another set of DNA, a crime has been committed. So, when a mother (DNA Set 1) harms a child (DNA Set 2), a crime has been committed.
Out of respect for author of this blog, I’ll stop arguing here. If you’d like to keep it up, I’m sure we can continue it via message.
The answer is 42
“All this time I thought it was her body to do what she wanted with it”
It’s not just her body. It’s a human life that she’s exterminating for her convenience.
God help her.
@Cognizant_Wolf - Thank you. Well said.
Although it doesn’t look like you mean this in a serious way, I’d find it ok. Actually I think there might be a reason for one abortion but already a second time is quite insane.
I don’t think a woman should be forced to have therapy after any number of arbortions no matter how much she may need it.
I guess it depends on the circumstances and the way the person perceives thing (not the lady having the abortion, but the person who’s deciding.)
@Cognizant_Wolf - Very good comment. I agree.
@lotta_valdez - Ditto
Well, now. This is interesting…
I think they should see a psychiatrist after the second abortion.
@Cognizant_Wolf - oh my gosh, you said exactly what I feel. Why execute this innocent child before he or she has a chance to even be born?
@godfatherofgreenbay - O.o
Once is more than enough. Any women who have guts abort her pregnancy must get professional help
No.
I think after just one some form of therapy or counseling should be suggested…not forced, but suggested. Or a group. I’ve had one and it would have been beneficial to have SOMEONE to talk to who knew what I was going through.
I think after 3 or 4 they need to seek professional help.
I will tell you, though, that those helping the aborting women should not badger the person about birth control. Bring it up, yes, discuss it, yes, ask EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU SEE THEM what they are using as birth control is annoying and very invasive. At my WIC appointments for my daughter’s food, they ask me EVERYTIME what I’m using as birth control. And my answer, every time, is Mirena. Mirena is not easily removed so I really wish they’d quit asking me.
The Duggars got nothing on her.
The thing that implies that this woman needs professional help is not that she had 15 abortions, but that she wrote a book about it and publicized her private life. Women who think abortion is wrong shouldn’t have them, and women who don’t see anything wrong with them would not need professional help if the procedure was uncomplicated. And in the former case, I would think that “professional help” is just a bunch of BS anyway – guaranteed to do two things. Enrich the so-called professional, and keep the patient down on a lesser level of competence.
You can’t really base your decision on how many abortions is too many because not every woman has the same things happen to her. Yes, shame on her for quitting taking her birth control. You also have to take into consideration the way she described her husband who didn’t want any children at all. I am not necessarily blaming him for her decisions, but he certainly helped. Women are already required by most abortion clinics to seek counseling before and after treatment(this was for those who made a comment about forcing her to do just that). It also interests me that she didn’t just go to her doctor and request a hysterectomy after the first 5 or 6 abortions. That shows that she obviously wanted children(of which she has two of her own now) but that her husband was keeping her from having those children. I find this whole thing very interesting personally.
One divorce, you made a mistake. Two divorce ok, stuff happens. 17 divorces is a trend. I think we have to look at the reasons why these abortions were done before labeling her mentally ill.
Well…you can’t FORCE anyone to do anything….especially when it comes to receiving psychiatric help. But there is definitely something wrong with people who make the same mistakes over and over. I’m one of those people. I may not have had multiple abortions (for the record, I have NEVER had one), but I have done other things over and over again, knowing that it is wrong. So who am I to judge?
I am generally pro-life, although I can understand a woman having an abortion in an extreme circumstance. Hopefully, most women won’t have more than one extreme circumstance, and hopefully most women won’t even have one. I don’t think a law should regulate “well, if you’ve had this many, you’re okay, but if you have one more, we will force you to go to counseling/get a hysterectomy, etc.” That is not for the legal system to dictate.
I think if a woman seems to be using abortions as a form of birth control (say, she’s about to have her third), the doctor should, just as a matter of principle, not of law, should recommend counseling or educate her about less drastic methods of birth control. (Actually, I think abortion clinic workers should give women information on counseling and birth control after one.)
Such a slippery slope. I pride myself on being pro choice while not being pro abortion. I think that even the most liberal minded individuals would start to sense a problem after multiple abortions. I do believe that woman has some issues that need to be addressed even if you don’t take into consideration her numerous abortions.
She might need the help even if she does’int want it.Even 1 abortion could be pretty difficult for someone mentally and emotionally.If she’s prepared to put herself through that time and time again then she has a serious problem with her self worth,or will be developing one,that needs addressed,to avoid her doing it over and over and so she learns to take care of herself.If she got help then,other issues,which might be causing her to keep getting herself pregnant,and choosing to terminate the pregnancy,could be addressed too.I blame society for making womans bodies into objects,so that woman view themselves that way,and feel separated from their body and don’t see what their personally putting themself through…..That sounds really hard core-feminist:)
Maybe some people are just masochistic,but that would be a problem too,which when someone is having abortion after abortion,needs to be looked at.I can’t imagine what it would be like to be that woman,on so many levels,and I don’t think many people can or would want to.She obviously has problems,from what she said in the last article,to just the fact that she had 17 abortions,and it never should have been allowed to get to that stage.
I believe in people having free choice,but why did the medical doctors/community that she must have came into contact with just sit back and let her do this and damage herself,they have some responsibility too……..I think people should definitely have free choice in their life,but there must be some kind of fine line of common sense….
I think after even 1 abortion,some people might find it hard enough that they need to talk to someone,after multiple,then definitely,and if the persons doing it because they feel their husband is controlling,and to rebel,then that does’int seem the behaviour of someone who is completely psychologically well,even apart from the abortions,so you have to look at the overall situation and take everthing into account,although after maybe 4 abortions I think alarm bells would ring in my mind if I was a doctor,and I would think something was going wrong,mentally or with contraception,and she needed some help.
To do this to herself is just so destructive,and that number of abortions is so destructive.Its sad.
(Sorry for the length of this comment,her story made me think…)
Probably. It also seems her marriage is in desperate need of help.
I knew a 13 year old girl who had 3 abortions in a year :/ she needs professional help (her mum sent her to an all-girls private boarding school)
@Arcane67 - Correct me if I’m wrong, but what I think you’re saying is that the fetus is a human life–thus the reason it would be disgusting to kill 15 humans–but is not a citizen which is why it is ok.
I think any woman that gets an abortion needs professional help.
I think it’s the fact that she considered herself addicted to abortion that was the problem. She should just get her tubes tied.
I guess it’s like Unit 731; the doctors said that at first, performing the experiments was disturbing, but by the third or fourth time, it was just procedural. They became numb to it.
I don’t think abortion should be legal anyway. I also don’t get how many pro-choice supporters find it sick to have that many if they clearly don’t see fetuses as human beings. Anyone care to rectify?
@BeKa28 - From what I gather from reading the transcripts of Roe vs. Wade, it is the word “born” that makes all the difference between how our legal system assigns rights. Once you are born, you are a citizen and have rights. Before being born, you are not and therefore, do not have those rights. If an unborn child/fetus/tissue was considered a citizen, then the whole concept of abortion would have to be revisited because it would become an argument between whose rights are more important.
Abortions are legal and because they are, I don’t think it should be said that a woman should be forced to get professional help because she is doing something legal. To say that is to imply there is something wrong with what she is doing.
For people who are against abortions, they will/should say there is something wrong. However, if a person is pro-abortion, then I don’t see how they can say there is anything wrong with it, regardless of the number of times. If it is truely a woman’s body alone and she can do anything she wants with it, then it’s like saying a woman (or man) has something wrong if they have too many tatoos or body piercings. So if you believe abortions are ok, then you should have no real concern over how often a woman is having it done.
My personal opinion? I believe life starts at conception. There are very VERY few situations where I believe an abortion should ever be considered. My birth mom had every reason in the world to abort me back when I was not a citizen, but she chose to carry me to term and give me up for adoption. It was the best gift she could have ever given me.
@Sirius_Fan_Girl - that’s exactly what I think. If you believe that a fetus is not a “person” yet and won’t be until birthed, then what does it matter. Heck, if it’s like getting an unwanted mole removed, perhaps they can offer discounts if you get more than 2 done a year. So what if you use it as a form of birth control. What *IS* the big deal if you are pro-choice?
no, i don’t think you can set an arbitrary number. these things are very situational.
Forced? Hm. No. Perhaps it should be strongly encouraged, but it should not be forced. I don’t support this woman’s abortions simply because of the reason she used to have them and the sheer amount thereof. However, that doesn’t mean I’d stop her from doing it.
If I knew her, I would let her know how I felt. But, that would be the end of it. It IS her decision and it IS her body. That does not mean I have to like, support or condone it. I don’t have to like someone’s actions or the reasons behind them in order to support their choice and right to do it.
Either way, though, she doesn’t really seem to present a danger to anybody. I do think she needs to seek regular gynecological check-ups, perhaps. That many abortions, that close together especially, are not healthy for her body, I would imagine. Or at least present high risks of health problems. But, again, if she chooses not to…that’s her decision.
I also think she needs to divorce her husband, if she’s having such an issue with him that she feels her only method of rebellion are these abortions. But, if she wrote a book either she’s found another way to rebel or she has gotten that divorce, or both.
I support her right to choose, I just think she’s an irresponsible idiot.
It’s not the fact that she had more abortions than is publicly accepted. It’s the fact that she is addicted to abortions. She even said herself that she was addicted to them. That’s why she needs professional help. This isn’t an issue of “oh, those pro-choicers are such hypocrites, it’s only okay for some people to do what they what with their bodies blah blah blah.” That’s not even close to the problem. I believe that you have a right to do what you want with your body. But she said she was ADDICTED. It’s just like how people think that others should seek professional help if they are addicted to drugs, sex, alcohol, gambling, etc. Same thing: ADDICTION.
Social conditioning has shown us what the populace thinks about abortion. I find it to be a necessary evil, only because of my own moral prejudices. It’s necessary in that we have not eliminated the various social problems that permit the use of abortions. And even then, be that we are human, it may never be phased out of society or could even become a socially accepted norm.
however, 15 abortions in 17 years is a bit extreme. i realize it’s her body and she can do with it what she pleases, but I honestly feel we, as a society, should evaluate her mental stability and make sure there are not underlying issues that could prevent the reoccurance of this issue.
I honestly can’t believe she was allowed to that many times.
If a woman has to have 14 abortions, there is definitely something wrong. Whether that matter be satanic or not, psychiatric help wouldn’t be useful to a woman at this point. There’s probably not a whole lot that you can tell a woman about having abortions who has underwent 14 of them. However, after the 4th abortion I would suggest some counseling. Honestly, I don’t think that a woman who has 14 abortions is using them as a form of birth control, I would think more along the lines of murder. Some say one abortion is murder, but I can relate to one abortion. After about 5 or 6 abortions, I would say that counseling and a major support group would be necessary. After 7 or 8 I would start calling it murder. 14 is a big number for one womans abortion record. 14 children can make up an entire classroom of kindergartners running around and playing. 14 children are equal to 2 FBI squads. 14 children are more than what are on some cities firefighters squads. 14 children could be a basketball team, or a baseball team. 14 children could REALLY have their own play war and build a big fort together. They could have been a new set of doctors all working together at the local hospital. Weird if you really think about it. So in my opinion, I think murder would be appropriate for 14 abortions. Serial Killer : A
serial killer
is a person who murders three or more people
over a period of more than 30 days, with a “cooling off” period between
each murder, and whose motivation for killing is largely based on psychological gratification.
I can understand aborting a child or two. Something bad happens, you don’t want the child…whatever the reason may be, I support that because it’s the woman’s body…therefore it’s her decision. However, I don’t think that women should be forced to seek mental help. It should definitely be an option, and they should definitely consider it if they’ve aborted four potential children. But this isn’t what I think. I say screw the mental help, If they want to go in, that’s fine…but I’m not gonna force them. What I think is that for every abortion that you have, it doubles in price. My dad says that legal abortions are 600 dollars. So by that information, the second abortion will cost 1,200 dollars and so forth. I don’t think they should be punished for aborting a child, however I do think that they should be fined for being retarded. I would also consider an alternative cheap method. If you don’t want to pay 9,000 for your 15th abortion, you can request a falcon punch abortion, where you will be strapped to a table, and literally punched in the stomach. And then for good measures, you would receive a nice slap across the face and a picture taken of you naked and still strapped so that if you ever actually stop having abortions, you’ll be sent the picture as a nice little reminder to not fuck up again. That’s just what I think.
i think they just shouldnt let her abort.
I think that at the point that she stopped taking birth control and began having abortions to stop her pregnancies and this became at all evident so at 3 or 4 a doctor should have asked some questions. It can happen that 2 abortions are a fluke, but the 3 someone should be asking questions as to why she is having them so often and is not just taking birth control. Her fear of displeasing her husband, along with her refusal to use safe birth control and continuous abortions is why she needs medical help. The abortions themselves were not the illness, they were simply the symptom that should have caught someone’s eye!
People want to have their cake and eat it too. ♥ I don’t think she’s mentally ill. Just stupid. Putting your body through that much trauma isn’t very bright at all. Especially when it could be prevented by using a condom or something to that effect. ♥
if 1 abortion is ok..then y isnt more than one???..y is 1 abortion seen as something so ok and normal..just coz ALOT of women in the western world do it, hence need like serious mental help, y is she being singled out???
Maybe the first thing she needs is someone to teach her how to keep her pants on!
If normal is normal. Then how can a bunch of normals be unnormal? I guess we can only tolerate normal so long, then enough normal is enough. Time to get unnormal.
Which brings me to think. if unnormal is unnormal. How much unnormal is normal?
I guess when we accept unnormal it is a sign that we are evolving. We just don’t like going from unnormal to normal. That is a step backwards.
If somebody has that many abortions they’re more than sick or crazy…
And I think if you even have four abortions you’re more than sick or crazy…I think if you have one abortion you’re more than sick or crazy…Abortion is bad… Don’t do it…
I don’t know if there’s a way of forcing women who have multiple abortions to get professional help, but this woman sure needed it. The article (linked in previous post) noted that she made multiple suicide attempts.
that’s like telling a prostitute to get mental help
That is a seriously disturbed woman. I wonder about her sanity.
@NightCometh - usually? haha where do you get your info from? i think there is more grief when a woman finds out she’s pregnant. (unexpected of course)
but anywho, it is her body, but that’s crazy. 15? holy shit. maybe after the 2nd she should go on birth control and find a psych
If she could keep her legs closed she wouldn’t need to have an abortion. I feel sorry for this kind of person to be lied to by people to convince you to KILL your own flesh and blood. I understand people make mistakes I made some whoppers. People not matter what they done can be forgiven. There are so many couples who would love that child because thet can’t have any. I wish society would learn that killing a child is not the solutions to a moral issue.
Why doesn’t this women simply know how to use condoms, birthcontrol?
