Who would have thought we’d see abortion e-cards? Now, you can send a nice post-abortion get well card, courtesy of Exhale, a mostly pro-choice after-abortion services company. I’m glad they realize that people need counseling and healing after the trauma of it – not just the trauma of having an ‘unwanted’ pregnancy, or of being caught in the political and moral battle, but because abortion itself is injurious to both soul and body. Non-judgmental listening is probably a good start, but how can you heal from sin if you don’t acknowledge it?
Maybe you should have supported their pregnancy instead of trying to clean up the post-abortion wreckage. (Note: the image to the right is NOT one of their cards, it’s a parody from Hot Air, pointing up the fact that people are not usually joyful after making their ‘liberating’ decision, perhaps because it is a bad decision).
BTW, my wife took exception to the parody card, saying that it was really in the wrong spirit, and that no one, not even liberals, thinks that abortions are something to celebrate.
I said perhaps she is right about the card, but the point of it, which is probably missed, is that it is heinously ironic and hypocritical of the far left to on one hand proclaim that abortions can be safe and legal, while ignoring the huge emotional and physical toll that abortions, esp. late term abortions that THEY provide the services for, take on these mostly young women.
It’s like they say “Sure honey, we can solve your problem, don’t worry about the horrible guilt and shame of your abortion, those don’t reflect anything real, just perceptions. Here’s a pretty card, we hope you get well.” (sound of counting money in the background)
Does PP offer grief counseling and long term psychological counseling needed to treat the post-traumatic stress disorder many women have afterwards?
The center that offers these cards looks like they are doing a good thing by offering non-judgmental counseling for girls after abortions. I’m glad they are beginning to recognize the soul wreckage that abortions cause. Too bad their pro-choice stance is the thing that causes the grief they are trying to heal. Of course, that’s a nice business model – create the demand for your own products.
Like I said, treat them like women who had a miscarriage (divine abortion). The only difference is the women chose the abortion and not God.
