Any pro-choicers here? Especially any that followed Angie the Anti-Theist through her abortion drama?

I have been subscribed to Angie on YouTube since before all this abortion stuff, she has some really good videos about all sorts of atheism relevant stuff! :D Plus she's one of the few females who make atheist videos for YouTube. So I love her. ;)

She's also here are Think Atheist of course too, so you can friend her if you want:

She's now, according to her Think Atheist profile, "Dealing w/being the new poster girl for abortion. WTF world. I wanted to be a poster girl for *atheism*. Epic facepalm."

Because, as I first saw when she posted it here at Think Atheist:

http://www.thinkatheist.com/video/abortion-1

She shared via YouTube that she was going to have an abortion... and was going to be live tweeting it. And she did!

I hope most of you know what I'm talking about. If not there has been quite a bit of media coverage and you can look through Angie's videos starting with "Abortion" and moving through the next few ones she posted for more info. You can check her out on twitter and backtrack and see all her tweets - she links to her twitter account in the video description.

Anyway, I was looking through links Angie posted on twitter and somehow ended up here at Jill Stanek's anti-abortion blog (specifially at her articles about Angie):

and here:

And the articles are just SO anti-choice and distort Angie's story HORRIBLY, and 95% of the comments are pro-life and scary. I feel like they need some pro-choice commenters to get at least 1 of them to think a little bit about some of what they're saying. But I can't even figure out how to comment - can someone here figure out how to comment there? If so, can you leave a good pro-choice comment and also tell me how to comment? LOL.

I think it's just what is needed over there. Some pro-choice comments. Non-christian pro-choicers if possible.

By the way this is who Jill Stanek is: http://www.jillstanek.com/who-do-they-think-i-am.html

Ah now what category does this fall under... I think it comes down to what you believe an embryo is exactly and that is part of scientific discussions as well as medicine because of what abortion is - a medical procedure. So I'm putting this in the Science: Evolution, Cosmology, Medicine, etc. category of discussion. I almost put it into Political Zoo but even though it is a political issue, I don't think it SHOULD be a political issue... so I'm not categorizing it that way.

Yeah honestly I think a lot of pro-choicers value life more than "pro-lifers" because we care not only about the mother's life but like you about the life of your other child/children, and about what kind of life the baby might have if it was born! And of course don't forget that part of what makes the term "pro-life" so bad is that it implies that the "other side" is anti-life. Which is just awful.

The death threats are just insane though, and almost worse are the people who calmly and seemingly "reasonably" say (or offhandedly remark) that you deserve to die, or some kind of anti-life kind of statement, not thinking about what that logically means about their priorities and thoughts toward "God's precious gift of life" when it comes to you.
