I thought I had lost the capacity for true emotional shock

But apparently I was wrong.

For [Yale] senior, abortion a medium for art, political discourse

Setting aside any moral reaction, I nearly passed out when I read this from the emotional shock.

Okay, screw setting aside a reaction. Politically, I believe that the government shouldn't involve itself in people's medical decision-making (i.e. I am firmly pro-choice). Morally, though, I think this is truly f*cked up. Truly and completely. And I honestly can't imagine doing this, wanting to do this, or being capable of doing this.

I feel the need to take a shower now.

I am disgusted that the school at least didn't do something about this. I really don't even see this as pro-choice. She did it on purpose. That's not what pro-choice is for.

I gasped.

And did it again.

I am pro-choice.

But you DO NOT aand SHOULD NOT create a life simply to destroy it!

As Jen points out, this is NOT what that choice is for.

Her choice was to create and kill babies, again and again. There was no desperation, no last-resort, no remorse, no careful consideration, no internal struggle in her choice. She makes me want to gag. Good thing God can forgive her, because my humanity won't let me.

I am left speechless.

That just makes my heart hurt.
