Censored by The Hand Mirror

It seems that having a woman defend a man who is arguing against abortion on a feminist blog is grounds for being deleted.

I've been censored by The Hand Mirror! Thank goodness for Scrapbook, which has allowed me to easily save the whole page to my computer.

My comment is answering Deborah, who tries to get ZenTiger to back off:

Zen Tiger, about practising a little christian compassion, and leaving this conversation now. That is, if you actually are a christian, instead of just prating about it.

My comment is also answering an anonymous commenter who wants to know what a man is doing on The Hand Mirror:

Is The Hand Mirror meant to be a safe place for women? As a regular reader and a woman who has had to have an abortion do I really have to be consistently confronted with a male Catholic's view that I killed my baby?

Hence, I think, my deleted comment below:

Deborah,

Christian compassion involves Spiritual Works of Mercy. In this case, pointing out the truth of what abortion is, no matter how it hurts, is vital.

If a person lives their life blocking out the pain of a really bad choice in their life, that does not help them. That choice is still there. The consequences are still there. A child does not live because of that "choice".

And, really it looks like it wasn't a real choice at all, if calling the choice a murder causes pain. That indicates anon actually knows the truth of what she did. She just doesn't want to face it.

I'm so sorry for the death of your baby, Anonymous. I will pray for you.

Men are very important in this debate. If more men believed that abortion was the taking of a human life, they'd be less blase about whom they slept with.
