(LifeNews) Earlier this month, The Huffington Post published an excerpt of Katha Pollitt's new book, "Pro: Reclaiming Abortion Rights." The excerpt is titled "The Abortion Conversation We Need to Have" and starts with Pollitt"s statement that abortion "is a common, even normal, event in the reproductive lives of women."
Theresa Bonopartis, the director of a post-abortion healing program, gives a good rebuttal to this statement, "It [abortion] is not "normal," regardless of its frequency, and no amount of writing or talking will ever make it so. That is why abortion continues to be such a controversial issue. She tries to justify her position by stating abortions occur worldwide and throughout history. So have rape and murder, but simply because an action is widespread does not make it normal or acceptable."
