There really is no way to make abortion seem like a normal thing, no matter how hard you try.

Planned Parenthood discovered this a few years back when they introduced a t-shirt with the message "I had an abortion" on it. The shirt raised a fire of controversy and even some Planned Parenthood affiliates though it was wrong to do. The shirts do not seem to be available any longer.

So, up steps another pro-abortion group trying to make abortion seem somehow less shameful and more legitimate. Exhale has produced a line of e-greeting cards to send to someone you know who has had an abortion and is suffering.

The cards are ridiculous and even mock religion, indicating that God would have supported the decision to have an abortion.

I have a better idea for women who are suffering from a past abortion. Rather than send them a e-card that only further solidifies a decision they know deep in their hearts was the wrong thing to do, have them call a post-abortion healing number, such as 214-544-CARE (2273) in Dallas or 817-923-4757 in Fort Worth.

We will be holding a healing retreat April 20-22, 2007 here in Dallas. Men and women who have suffered from abortion can attend and receive the help they needed in overcoming their pain. All inquiries are kept confidential.

In supporting women, we need to make sure that we fix problems instead of making them worse.
