It happened one day over 50 years ago pre-<em>Roe v. Wade<\/em> but when abortion was legal in New York. Coerced as a teen by my father into an abortion, I had a saline procedure in which I gave birth, after hours of labor, to a dead baby boy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nothing prepared me for this (not that anything could). I was not told about the development of my baby or anything about what I was about to undergo. To this day when I think back on it, it seems unbelievable that what happened was legal. When I saw my son\u2019s small, lifeless body on the bed next to me after hours of labor, my extremism was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*********************<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you turn on the TV lately, it is hard not to be bombarded by Democratic political ads lamenting the Republicans who, in their view, do not care about women and are pro-life \u201cextremists.\u201d They claim pro-life politicians don\u2019t care about women\u2019s \u201chealth\u201d and make no exceptions for abortion in the case of rape and incest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women watching these ads are led to believe that there can be no success without the ability to have an abortion at any time. They tell women their life is rendered invaluable by the small life within, and that the only empowering response to an unplanned pregnancy is abortion. They\u2019re told that life will go back to \u201cnormal,\u201d and all their dreams will be fulfilled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Democrats sling around phrases like \u201cforced birth\u201d and try to make voters focus on cases of rape and incest, which are less than 3 percent of all abortions, but they ignore the extreme violence that happens in the womb and the torment of the soul as countless women come to find out that life does not go back to normal. They often learn that the dreams they sought to fulfill are now obstructed by depression, shame, grief, and a host of other emotions that interfere with their daily lives. Worse yet, although Democrats have empathy for those who fit their agenda, they continue to deny the very real experiences of those women who suffer and blame anything but abortion for their problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ht the link for the<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/11\/08\/my-abortion-made-me-a-pro-life-extremist\/?fbclid=IwAR1X64oSpOPASvmmCTuERWJE_wHQ9tO8u9Xk5NqNLYIJQFeLwRZIbUDcxAQ\"> rest of the column by Theresa. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As many know, Theresa Bonopartis is the Director of Lumina: Help and healing After Abortion.
