RH Reality ..... start talking about abortion to your toddler


 RH Reality  has a post that comes under the heading....you can't make this stuff up. Some excerpts....

My daughter was 2 years old the first time we talked about abortion. While this might seem shocking to some, it was a part of a very conscious decision on my part to raise my children with pro-choice values
In simple terms, I told her: “When a woman gets pregnant, she can either stay pregnant and have a baby, or she can go to a doctor and have him or her get rid of the fetus so that she doesn't have a baby. That's called abortion. Ummm notice the change of terms....have a baby or get rid of the fetus. See honey, wanted...a baby....unwanted a fetus.         
 She was used to hearing accurate pregnancy-related terminology, and she was about as disgusted by the anti-choice position as you could ever expect a pre-schooler to be. Is she frightened of a pix of a baby??
As my daughter has grown older, our discussions about abortion rights have continued to evolve, catching her younger brother up on the subject and adding in more information about the actual procedure.... Do you show her pictures of what the baby or fetus looks like following the abortion. Doesn't concern or frighten her??
There are myriad important reasons to have that conversation – and to keep having it as your pre-schoolers become big kids, tweens, and then teenagers who will soon be facing reproductive decisions of their own.
 Perish the thought that otherwise, our babies will become the next generation of forced-birth bullies!  
There isn't anything frightening about terminating a pregnancy, but even a child can comprehend the atrocity in forced gestation.
Through open and honest discussion, children learn that women they love – their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and family friends – have made the choice to abort without shame or guilt.
So Mommy, if I was unwanted while you were pregnant, I could end up in pieces and you could go on without shame or guilt because those big bad forced birth bullies must be stopped.  But, if you change your mind on me, can you terminate me?? Just asking.....

Some of these ding bats have turned abortion into a religion. It is their idol. Of course they want to pass that religion on to their children.
Some of them are real upset about the presense of pro-life people in their work place or school program. They want to know where the fellow pro-choicers are, so they can be friends only with them. It is taught in hard core pro-abort circles that you must be careful to never let yourself become friends with, or even speak to, a pro-life person. (They have lots of excuses for this, but the real reason is that 1)the person might realize that many pro-life people don't fit the monstrous stereotype that pro-aborts have so carefully tried to portray, 2)the pro-choice person might actually see that the pro-life people have good arguments for their position, 3)the pro-choicers may see that many pro-life people DO care about women (see reason 1 above).
If too many pro-choicers see these things, they might turn pro-life. The pro-aborts are having a hard time as it is keeping public opinion on their side.
