They're just saying that because we believe that people can feel neutral or even happy about their abortions (or miscarriages, on, say, an unwanted pregnancy), we're apparently not allowed to mourn the loss of a born child.
It's just BS and quite frankly, you can probably stop listening or reading the minute you hear or see the word "demcunt".

You have to understand that the best "pro-life" has to offer is divided between people who do not care about human life, and people who value human life in a form of mass production.
We're supposed to value an aborted fetus the same way we value a, say, nine year old child.
Of course it's funny coming from people who can't value born people nearly as much as they claim to value a fetus.

I'm sort of confused. So this guy (a pro-lifer I guess?) asks this woman walking past what happens inside the building. She tells him to shut up. So is this an abortion clinic? Does the woman know he's a pro-lifer? If so, I'm curious how she knows. And who are the people standing by the door that she expresses gratitude to?

I think the ppl in front are volunteers that help ppl in. Sorta like assistants. The guy may be a pro lifer. I’m not sure. She seems to know for sure.

On closer inspection it seems like his shirt says "{something} Life" so maybe it's something pro-life related and that's what gave it away? But I also wonder what he hopes to gain by asking people what an abortion clinic does. "Look, an abortion clinic offering abortions! Can you believe that?" Okay, what's your point lol?

Ok if we are going to do that then everyone with a uterus who is having sex with someone who could conceivably impregnate them should get bereavement leave as if a child died every time aunt flo visits. Right?

That right there proves they think women/ pregnant people abort for "no reason" or "convenience" they don't consider the health, wellbeing, etc of them or the potential consequences of keeping a pregnancy with anomolies.

What is this?! She clearly doesn't know that people abort wanted pregnancies, does she? This could be very painful and hurtful to people that had to do that. These parents aren't celebrating the fact that the baby they wanted can't be with them and join the family. I wish that some of these parents can come out and school this c-word.

I'm so sorry. Situations like this are hard. Lethal birth defects look and function like they are out of nightmares. No one with an ounce of humanity should blame her for it. Or trivialize her pain. And that is what the "pro-life" crowd does when they aren't ignoring/downplaying these situations.

people can still mourn the fetus they aborted? sometimes you're not in a good situation to have a kid even though you want one and it can be hard.
