Another one of those Anti-abortion campaigns
Anecdote away!
Julianne described her experienced with her therapist this way:
"After my abortion, I could not stop crying. I went to see the therapist who had encouraged me to have the abortion. I cried the whole time there. She sat across from me with a blank look on her face. She said nothing. During this session she was removed and distant-emotionally cold and withdrawn. As I was leaving her office, she came up to me and said, 'I don't usually touch my patients, but you look like you need a hug.' She then proceeded to embrace my shoulders and offer a squeeze. I felt like I was being embraced by an evil presence. I shuddered at her touch. How dare she even come near me! A hug! I was sickened at the thought of such a trite expression-after having encouraged me to kill my own child! Never a word of support for my motherhood! Not an alternative plan, or a resource to help me. She knew I didn't want another abortion. She told me to have a ------ abortion because I would not be able to handle another baby.
Then she offered me a hug!
God, I miss my baby. That's who I wanted to hug...my baby who is gone, whom I will never hold or cuddle."
The article moves on to say:
If the therapist has personally had an abortion, a client's confession of grief is quite likely to run into either a wall of denial or another quagmire of unsettled issues.

Lady, I've got an option for you. Get yourself another freaking therapist. The one you have? Sucks.

It's an excerpt from the this book The Forbidden Grief: The Unspoken Pain of Abortion by Dr. Whoshername with the title PhD clinging to the back of her name.
I'm not decrying the fact that abortion can and probably will be a cause of a lot of emotional distress but saying things like,
"Post-abortion healing is a specialty unto itself. The average psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker or counselor of any other academic stripe who does not understand post-abortion issues can often inflict more harm than good on the unsuspecting woman."
is *not* going to help.
Average person of academic stripe?
Does not understand?
Like, WTF? You rely on these specialist who don't know? I don't only fear for post-abortion trauma patients but for the ENTIRE field of medicine as a science.
All of you, I take back your medical practitioning certs right now.
Honestly.

Sometimes, pro-Life and pro-Choice people make good argument sense.
Most of the time you have the grassroots coming up with pickets shouting "Die! Die! Die! (Just Not The Babies!)" and sputter when you ask them to explain why.
Reasons like "Because it's *Evil*" or "Because God says so" just doesn't fly anymore, loves.
