A man--a father--is in terrible pain over the abortion of his and his girlfriend's baby just this week.

A pregnancy counselor had commented here trying to help them before the abortion.

I know I don't have to say this to the vast majority of our readers, but this is for those who aren't of our mindset: right now, strong words are not what's needed. If anyone wishes to comment at his blog, both Emily and I ask that you refrain from judgmental, harsh, condemning, superior, i.e. UNHELPFUL words.

If you have nothing helpful to say, Do. Not. Say. It.

Please. If you're not sure if you should post it, use our Guidelines as your cue. Namely:

Before you post something, ask yourself, "Do I want to be right or do I want to be generous, kind, charitable...and right?"

Please don't diminish, minimize, or invalidate the pain and grief experienced by an unknown number of men and women after abortion.

Please don't imply that if people experience a negative emotional aftermath following abortion, they must have been unstable to begin with. If you really believe that someone is chronically emotionally unstable, why add insult to injury?

...and all the rest.


Thanks to one of our readers for letting us know.
