Katzekinder Some people get pregnant, and are just like "it's okay, I can just get an abortion! biggrin " I don't want to be one of those people. Ever. I know a fair number people who have had abortions. It's not talked about, in a religious community like this one, but... well, okay, it is talked about, just not openly.
None of them, not a single one, takes this attitude.
I think people who behave like this are more a right-wing fantasy than anything else.
Personally, while I was not in the hot seat, as it were, I promised to help someone whatever her decisions were, and she chose abortion over childbirth and rearing. You know what? I didn't approve, but... I couldn't blame her, either, because in the best of all possible worlds the child would have been raised by its parents and grandparents. I knew one of the grandparents, and I would hate to have seen a child grow up in any contact with her. She wasn't bad, she was just... broken. And since I had given my word, I helped the woman cover her medical bill and tried to offer support afterward.
And now, we occasionally keep in touch, and the woman I mentioned doesn't look at it as though it was a terrible mistake; it was something unpleasant, that she felt she had to do.
I'm willing to put money down that almost everyone who's had an abortion feels this way, and that people who are terribly broken up by it or people who treat it as nothing are extremely rare.

Also, simply snacking on garlic cloves can relieve migraines, if only because the fire in your belly distracts you from the fire in your skull.

I think my aunt might beg to differ. A few years ago, my uncle had to quit garlic cold turkey; he was eating so much that his sweat apparently smelled like garlic. whee He eats it again now, just in much smaller quantities.
