Being really animated and giddy, mmm... not cool

Its great that you can live with your decision and all but do you really got to be bouncy and giggly?! That is so wrong!

@jpayne68177 Fair enough, but I partially disagree. First, that human psychology is far too broad a subject to apply this logic to society, as a whole. Twins can grow up in the same house, watch the same tv, read the same books, go to the same school and have the same friends, and still be 2, entirely different people. Also, I would argue that it's not the 'quantity of partners,' but the 'quantity of sex.' Even the sex-lives of couple's who waited will, eventually, diminish.

(part 4) Again, I challenge you to try & witness the grotesque occurrence of an abortion.& since you seem so gleefully ignorant by the idea,watch as many as you can and after about 20,50,100 or so and you dont have any natural response that, especially, are innate in women (loving, motherly, compassionate) than i can presume you have some disability as any caring creature would find remorse,& disgust in the image(s). I am a RN,meaning, I understate the,hidden,medical nature of the process.

(part3) you falsified appearance of happiness is not fooling anyone. when the suction was place intruding your uterus did you know that the fetus/baby heart beat went from about 144bpm to (average) 200bpm? know why would that happen if its brain and primitive consciousness was not formed? What caused this strike in bpm? survival instinct. flight or flight.fear. the fetus/child would have moved away from the threatening of the suction.

(part2) Does it seem like a gory picture now, when i say that the being inside you was cut up, literally, starting with its legs, and then to its rest of its body; however, not the skull...no,no,no that has to be crushed with a form of pliers. Or if i say when the suction out pieces came out they were clearly in the form of limbs, do you still feel humane?

@jpayne68177 Far from it. One of my friends suffers from depression (probably bipolar disorder, as well) but it's not something I've ever experienced, directly. Generally, I jump between indifferent to happy; little (to no) 'sadness.' I'm just particularly discontent toward self-righteous arrogance. (Maybe there's some sort of bad, repressed childhood memory that I don't know about.) lol But the arrogant "I'm wright and your wrong" attitude just gets under my skin, sometimes.
