I have heard that to "force" a woman to continue her pregnancy is misogyny. But, my actual experience is quite the opposite in terms of the actual evidence on both sides of the debate.
Let's start with the abortionist that sucked my baby from my womb. This "doctor" was about as compassionate as the cold, hard instruments of death he used on me. I've had more care and compassion from my orthodontist!
Now, let's move on to after the abortion. In all of the Pro-Choice movement, there is nothing for a post-abortive woman. No after care. It's like the movement says, "we'll help you 'fix' your problem, but we won't be involved in any of the messy complications afterwards". Women are largely abandoned in our grief and in our regret. Just call any abortion clinic and ask them about their post-abortive care - huh?
Even in the com-boxes I participate in YouTube, the Pro-Choicer's are less than complimentary of my regret for having had an abortion.
On the other hand, Pro-Lifers I have experienced have been compassionate in all cases!
Recently, I toured a Crisis Pregnancy Center that really does help women choose LIFE for their babies. What I hear is women's grateful success stories - thanking this organization for helping them choose LIFE! No regrets!
And compassionate Pro-Lifer's offer post-abortive after care, like http://www.rachelsvineyard.org/ in which I found peace finally after 20 years of suffering! This weekend retreat helps many women heal emotionally from the choice to abort.
Also in offering women a voice to express their pain and sorrow:

also both Pro-Life!
Finally, in the com-boxes, it seems to me that the Pro-Lifer's seem to be a lot more compassionate about my regret, the Pro-Choicer's as I've said are at minimum annoyed by it.
So, for all the Pro-Choicer's TALK, my experience is that Pro-Choicer's are the misogynists, or have at least acted hateful towards me during and after my abortion. My EXPERIENCE is that people in the Pro-Life movement walk the walk. They are compassionate, caring and in very practical ways making a positive difference in women's lives. One side causes regret, the other side causes relief. I know which side I'm on - do you?
