I'm saying that if you're loose and find that you need to have more than one abortion, that maybe you might want to reconsider your approach to sex--and yourself. Learn to respect yourself so that you don't have to have an abortion and mess up your reproductive system.
And yeah, is there a problem with me calling it like it is? If she has sex all of the time with various partners and has no regard for herself or others then yes she is a whore and yes she needs help. Being a whore must be quite sad.

Your opinion does not create facts out of thin air. You do understand that "consent" isn't necessitated by nature in order for a fetus to become a born child, right? In fact, the natural thing to happen is exactly that.
What isn't natural is a mother (yes, they're a mother, even before the child is born) choosing to have the child murdered just because said child might be a burden to their life.
You can twist and distort things all you want, but the facts are the facts.
Might I ask...do you have children?

She cited reasons… What other reasons for abortion are there besides "rape by soldiers", sexual abuse, incest and financial problems?

I never could quite understand "rape" (except incestuous rape, which could lead to serious genetic defects) being a valid reason for abortion.
I certainly can understand the woman not wanting the child - but the truth remains that a child that is the product of rape still is a child, not guilty or "tainted" in any way (except in some people's minds).
It is also a fact that it is not only about the woman's body - whether she likes it or not, there is another (another's) body growing inside of her, and that body shouldn't be thought about as an extension of the mother's body. Because it isn't.
It is not an easy subject; and obscuring it with self-centered emotions disguised as "reasoning" doesn't help one bit.

Judgemental much!!??? Who gave you the job as *keeper of
the moral code* of others?
Nor did I insult whores.
I merely relayed that there exists a subset of our population who behaves promiscuously. And that abortion shouldn't be their be-all-end-all. But instead, that they should get some help and counseling to break the cyclic cycle of pain and hardship.

LOL orly now? I didn't say that anyone had to do anything. The word 'you' is here used as a general term--the word 'one' could be substituted for 'you' if it really gets your goat that badly. And logic states that you should change something if things aren't working out to what you want. That's all I said. Insanity is repeating the cycle expecting not to get pregnant again. Morality? Where? I'm talking sociology at the moment. And using hypotheticals.
Oh, and so now someone is 'judgmental' when they merely give logical advice to a hypothetical to make a point? Are you kidding me? Is it wrong for me to bring up the fact that some people abuse the system and should really just get counseling BEFORE deciding to have multiple abortions? You're really telling me that this is a totally new concept for you or something?
You're the one being judgmental if anyone is--don't make assumptions because you know what they say about those. I haven't judged anything. In fact, in my first post I stated at the beginning that I was on the fence about the abortion issue. Not that you read that far back. lol I can't believe we are now having a discussion about semantics.
