New Post-Abortion E-Cards Allow Senders to Show Sympathy, Support -- SAN FRANCISCO —A nonprofit [group] that runs a national post-abortion telephone talk line has unveiled a series of electronic greeting cards that concerned friends and family can send to a woman after she chooses to terminate a pregnancy."Women having abortions are calling our line because often they don't have someone to talk to — it's a stigmatized issue," said Aspen Baker, founder and executive director of Oakland-based Exhale. "So the chance to honor and acknowledge someone's experience by calling upon something that is within our social practices and social mores seemed important and could go a long way toward supporting people."
One expresses sympathy, offering the gentle reminder that, "As you grieve, remember that you are loved." Another provides encouragement for someone who "did the right thing." Yet another strikes a religious tone with the thought that "God will never leave you or forsake you.""We designed them to deal with different peoples' response to abortion. Not everyone is grieving their loss. Not everyone has a relationship with God. Not everyone thinks it is the best thing," she said. "We hope the people who send them take the time to think not only about the message they want to send, but about what is best for the person receiving it and what they need to hear."

And what about what was best for the child's life that was snuffed out?
"HONOR HER EXPERIENCE"? . . ."SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS"? . . . Are you kidding me?
One human being decides that her selfish interests are more important than her child's LIFE and she expects a Hallmark card to ease her through her grieving?
Why don't we just go the whole way down the Rabbit Hole and buy little aborted stuffed animals to comfort the dead babies with, while their Mommies grieve?
Only in San Francisco!
