Over 95% of women who have an abortion do not regret it []
“The majority of women who have had an abortion do not regret the decision to undergo the procedure, a new study has revealed. The research, published in Social Science & Medicine, [] found that five years after having an abortion, over 95% of the women said it was the right decision for them.
Researchers surveyed 667 women across 21 states in the US who had abortions at the start of the five year study, analyzing their emotions surrounding their decision to get an abortion. The women were surveyed a week after they sought care and every six months thereafter, for a total of 11 times.
Participants were asked if they had any emotions of sadness, guilt, relief, regret, anger or happiness over their decision. Results revealed 95% of women indicated that an abortion was the right decision for them over the course of the study. Relief was the most common emotion throughout the five years of the study.”

[lancM] It’s WHAT I’ve always said. Females: dump the parasite and GET ON with your life as planned. Let not religion, mysticism, guilt-mongers, liars or external pressure OF ANY KIND get in your way~!!
[bjX] How come you’re so caught up in the women’s rights movement?
[lancM] Uh … it’s a human-rights issue; females are human; forced child bearing is Christian/Muslim repression.
[bjX] Me thinks it’s more to do with a man’s right to be free of child support bills for the next 18 years
[lancM] Maybe you should avoid thinking as much as possible.
[bjX] — but just speculating as I have absolutely no idea if there are any Lancaster Merrin Jrs wandering around out there. Would you still call them a “parasite” at near or full term?
[lancM] That’s a typical, low-rent, right-wing deflection; most ALL abortions are performed in the first 90 days. FYI: partial-birth abortions are OK with me; they are sadly done for a nightmarish medical reason.
[bjX] So would you consider yourself, at some point, a parasite? Of course by your definition. See. That is the difference from folks on the right and those on the left. The right has a certain respect for life no matter the age. The left doesn’t.
[lancM] The ‘right’ has NO respect for anything except their OWN, individual or corporate bottom-lines and holding onto the Evangelical Christian electorate, and maybe some primitive Muslims just off the boat.
Young Lancaster Merrin
[lancM] Parasite? Me? Absolutely. I WAS a chicken-noodle-soup parasite. THEN, later in the aquarium, I was a shrimp salad parasite. Upon exiting the dark-chamber, I was nothing more than an eating & diaper-doo, dressed-up, monkey-parasite until about 4 or 5 years old. That’s when I presumably started to realize MY OWN existence.
Then and only then, could I be considered an actual ‘person’ AND somebody that should, indeed, be remembered forever DUE TO genuine human interaction. Don’t get me wrong; toddlers are pretty much OK, I guess. It’s fun to watch’em DO STUFF or scream their brains out at the grocery story. It’s a one-way operation: you give, they take. Biological Parasitism. We’ll pass.
Merrin hates to break the news to phony-emotion claimers like bjX & associates, but NOBODY can actually be missed, if they NEVER existed.
Did my own blissfully Catholic mother — a zygote manufacturing appliance, producing 6 units — miss her two unfortunate duds? NOPE; don’t think so; not for long. She got right to work in another production-number.
So, therefore, thus . . .I’m thinkin’ . . . a modern, progressive, educated female, unbeset by archaic, traditional pressures from right-wing, religious knobs or political hacks, will have the abortion — or the morning-after pill — and guiltlessly GET ON with her own LIFE & aspirations. And do so unmolested by a parasitic, relentless burden. A burden conspicuously never assumed by the aforementioned MALE hypocrates. A burden, furthermore, demanded by certain zealously deluded, self righteous, FEMALES of a particular bovine species.
You know, like a bleating herd of water-buffalo waiting around to screw, eat and give-birth [repeat cycle]. The smattering of women who find themselves besieged by merciless guilt are, ironically, mentally-ill and certifiably unfit to BE mothers.
Look! Up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s ….. geez! It’s Jeezus!
This guy can do all sorts of stuff, too. WATCH []
(|) [bjX]: Amazing you think a stack of historical written records of Jesus and his amazing wit and themes of love, all by many witnesses, were all made up? I suppose the Sumerian text, chiseled in stone centuries earlier than the Bible and Hindu text, are fabricated as well?
[LancM]: Well, they certainly exist; it is the contents and claims therein that are fabrications and/or wishful thinking by way of the ancient ‘flat earth society’ and local geniuses with a social agenda and a mission.
[bjX]: What additional evidence would seal the deal for you that he was real? Got any proof at all that he was just a fictional character, faked by dozens of writers?
[LancM]: No, not flat-out faked; just misrepresented by ardent true believers of pure fantasy; and then perpetuated by political leaders to facilitate crowd control and myth-making. Sadly, myths are the time-honored glue that hold societies together. Virtually all religions require some type of fictional BIG WOW event and a star in order to grab a decent audience of high-school drop-outs.
- Q-1: did somebody named Jesus exist at the time and location?
- Q-2: if Jesus existed, was he the putative leader of a band of disciples?
- Q-3: did this guy have super abilities?
(|) [LancM]: It’s a story that has been repeated throughout ancient times. People had been believing in – and obeying – superstitions which were written down in certain books, or chiseled onto a rock for several millennia UNTIL science kicked in with Galileo, Copernicus, Darwin, Newton, Dr Membrane, etc.
In fact, the Egyptian religion is likely the primary foundational basis for the Judeo Christian theology []
Zeitgeist: The Movie
The following article takes an academic shot at both Jesus and Hercules
[bjX]: Read Fingerprints of the Gods, [] then get back to me with questions. You will find a number of Christ-like figures with supernatural powers have been here.
[LancM]: Wut~!? Oh, I get it. You seem to be suggesting the possibility that H & J were here AND that they were extra-terrestrials with extraordinary abilities. THAT kinda takes me off my argument and my source, here. Except that, given what you’ve stated, Hercules might then have been an alien-being, as well.
So, this is no longer strictly a debate about the existence and nature of Jesus, but also, whether Jesus – along with possibly Hercules – was extraterrestrial. A theory which would go well to explain several handy, mind-over-matter aptitudes. “Yo Jesus, we’re outa beer and …uh…do something about this krappy weather, will ya?” Religious Superstition plus Warp-drive Science-fiction. Can’t keep up. Gotta go. Seeya
Wait!! Regardless of whether human or alien, there is STILL no actual evidence supporting the existence of Hercules or Jesus. One might claim that Julius Caesar was extraterrestrial, but at least he, without a doubt, historically existed. And what’s more, the latter was never claimed to have walked on water, destroyed the nine-headed hydra, or GOT UP after that unfortunate Et tu, Brute?incident.
” . . . And most importantly, just as we have no artifacts, writings or eyewitnesses about Hercules, we also have nothing about Jesus. All information about Hercules and Jesus comes from stories, beliefs, and hearsay. Should we then believe in a historical Hercules, simply because ancient historians mention him and that we have stories and beliefs about him? …
. . . we do have an abundance of evidence supporting the mythical evolution of Jesus. Virtually every detail in the gospel stories occurred in pagan and/or Hebrew stories, long before the advent of Christianity. We simply do not have a shred of evidence to determine the historicity of a Jesus the Christ. We only have evidence for the belief of Jesus.” []
On the other hand, that Muhammad guy DID, in fact, EXIST in the MID 600 A.D.’s. Rode around on a camel with a bunch of thugs, kickin’ the shit out’a people in Arabia and making happy converts to his NEW way of walkin’
