The only moral abortion is my abortion

"The only moral abortion is my abortion."

Anti's believe this whole-heartedly.
They judge and chastize other women for their choices but the second they become pregnant, all bets are off.
They are notorious for rationalizing their own behavior and their own choice, while condeming others who choose the same thing.
I have seen this personally in the clinic I worked at.
Everyday, anti's would come in and say abortion is wrong, but "my situation is different."
Hhmm, you deserve that choice but no one else does, huh?

When the Anti-Choice Choose, by Joyce Arthur. Read the rest.

"We have anti-choice women in for abortions all the time. Many of them are just naive and ignorant until they find themselves with an unwanted pregnancy. Many of them are not malicious. They just haven't given it the proper amount of thought until it completely affects them. They can be judgmental about their friends, family, and other women. Then suddenly they become pregnant. Suddenly they see the truth. That it should only be their own choice. Unfortunately, many also think that somehow they are different than everyone else and they deserve to have an abortion, while no one else does." (Physician, Washington State)

"I've had several cases over the years in which the anti-abortion patient had rationalized in one way or another that her case was the only exception, but the one that really made an impression was the college senior who was the president of her campus Right-to-Life organization, meaning that she had worked very hard in that organization for several years. As I was completing her procedure, I asked what she planned to do about her high office in the RTL organization. Her response was a wide-eyed, 'You're not going to tell them, are you!?' When assured that I was not, she breathed a sigh of relief, explaining how important that position was to her and how she wouldn't want this to interfere with it." (Physician, Texas)
