I got the impression that you cared equally about each woman in the facility and what each woman was going through, regardless of her reasons for choosing the procedure. I have never met a group of purely non-judgmental people like yourselves.”
Now crying as I have met many medical people that don’t act like that but it is good to read that. I needed to read that.

Why can’t more people be like this woman?
Well, that seems to miss the point entirely right? Like if more people were exactly like this woman then they would still be just as anti as they are now. The only thing that made this woman be more compassionate was when it became a problem she dealt with herself.
Either you’d have to ask “why can’t more people also deal with this problem personally?” or better yet
“Why can’t more people be BETTER than this woman?”
God forbid that people grow to change their views.
She escaped a mindset she was taught when she was young. I was taught to hate gay folks, abortions, etc. Typical Christian upbringing. Then all my best friends in high school were queer and I was like “so what else was I taught incorrectly?”
No one is born perfect. Glad she grew to change and now supports others in these tough situations.
It is good that she changed her belief, but if everyone was like her, we would need a lot more abortions to get people to change their mind.

No. I’m sticking to requiring someone to have to experience something to have empathy for someone else.

She wouldnt have had to change her views if people like her didnt oppress others

You dont each them so they can claim to be a “good person”
You teach them so they stop harrassing actual good people and stop teaching their children evil shit
If you have to be personally effected to realise something is bad, you are a piece of shit. Hands down. With that reasoning altruism simply wouldnt exist.

This is true, but some people don’t change even after dealing with the problem personally.

Yes!
I’ve read this article 6 or 7 times and love to post it. Thanks for sharing again
Love this post and read it several times.
Never fails to remind me of the conservative selfishness and shortsightedness that it’s only a problem when it directly affects them.
Have some compassion and empathy for your fellow human.
