Post-Abortion Greeting Cards Offered Online

That's a bit sick. o.o
You just had your unborn child killed. Feel better!!!

I'm not against abortion but geez! Especially if the woman really wanted the child but for health reasons had to have an abortion. Poor girl.

SB, the aren't 'congrats' cards. Read the post.

If they had an abortion because they didn't want the kid, not because of medical issues, this is the greeting card I'd send to the mofos:

INSIDE:

I never said they were. I just said a person doesn't want to be reminded of that sort of thing. Especially if they DID want the child but couldn't have it.

Just the idea that someone thought this would be a good idea

I've had 3 miscarriages and the last one I had to have a d&c,not because I wanted to but because my child's heart had stopped beating.You think having someone send me a card is going to make me feel better?I had to go to the website to see those cards and there's one that says "there are no words to express my sympathy for your loss.as you grieve,remember that you are loved.i am thinking of you".You think I want someone's sympathy and you don't think i know i'm loved?Then there's the "I think you're strong,smart,thoughtful and caring.I believe in you and your ability to make the best decision.I think you did the right thing" card.Yeah shower me with compliments,that will make this whole experience all go away.I had the d&c last august and there's not a day that goes by when I don't think about it,it's not something you forget and you can't know how that feels unless you've been there.Sure talking about it would be great but there are other ways to grieve.My way of grieving was painting,I painted a little angel boy who's doing the hello hand sign and he's in the sky and there's a rainbow and a sun.I painted a boy because the last 2 children I miscarried were boys.Everyday I look at that painting and I know one day I will meet them and that's a comforting thought for me.I don't need to talk about it and if sometimes i feel the need to,I talk to my husband or my mother.I know the last thing I would have wanted was a greeting card but to each their own I guess.I just wish those people who designed those cards would have thought about those who really wanted their child.The last thing we want to hear is that it was the right thing or that it was for the best.

how about a card for your pre-death so you can spend the money while you are alive.

or congrats on gettin laid card

a card for being cool

a card for the flu

a card for doom

a card for showering every day YAY!

I know how you feel AC, this is just such a stupid idea I couldn't believe it. Next they will create greeting cards for people that have to euthanize their dog. "Sorry about your dog, dont worry, the gas knocks em right out, they didnt feel a thing..."

How about cards that say:

Sorry for the big pimple on your face,shoulda used the clearasil and noxema I bought you.

Sorry your house burned down,at least you're still alive.You know,with hard work,you'll be up on your feet in no time.Just going to have to work twice as much to get back what you had.

Congratulations on getting a D on your school report.Just goes to show how incredibly intelligent you are.

Congratulations on your period.You are now a real woman.

Congrats for your weight loss.I always knew you could be that gorgeous.

And the list goes on and on and on...

I am sorry for your loss.

If your child's heart stopped beating, then the medical procedure you had does not meet my definition of abortion.

Abortion is when a mother chooses to have her child KILLED, which is not what you did.

It would be a travesty for anyone to tell you that you had an abortion, for you have done nothing wrong.

I think it's sad that you went through that. I also think it's sad that you think the whole fucking world revolves around you and that people trying to do something nice for you just aren't good enough. How dare they not know that EVERYTHING is about YOU.

These cards are a sucky idea, but ungrateful twats like you are as well.

Depravity knows no bounds, this is disgusting.

What about @home abortion kits? They sell those yet? Coat hangers?

Why can't people just use birth control? And self control?

The whole card thing is going too far. I'm pro choice up to a point, but this is wrong. There is no class, no discretion left in this country.

And to the lady that had three miscarriages: It's terrible but you need to stop feeling so bad. It's time to let go. I suggest that you seek counseling and seek other options for being a mother. Sometimes we need to let God take over and give us our best good. There's a child out there for you.

AC 150446:My ob/gyn told me it was called an abortion even though the child was dead.

AC 180345:When did I ever said I thought the world revolved around me?I was just sharing something and giving my views on the subject.This is a free country and we have the right to speak right?I'm sorry you think I'm an ungrateful twat but you don't know me and I'm really thankful you don't because I don't surround myself with people like you and by that I mean judgemental people.Cards weren't the things I would have wanted after what I've been through,some people want some but that wasn't the case for me.I had the love of my family and that was enough for me.I didn't have anyone tell me "oh it was the right thing to do" or "it's for the best" or anything else.They just said they were sorry for my loss and if I ever needed to talk they were there for me.I didn't need a card to tell me I was loved and that people were there for me.I have a great family and they have always been there for me.I knew that just because I was suffering didn't mean they were there any less.I just needed my space to deal with it in my own way and didn't need someone tell me what to do or how to feel.

AC 191988:I've let go of it a bit,it's just not something I'll ever forget.If I ever feel the need to see a counselor then I will go see one,there's nothing to be ashamed of.Last week I gave the baby stuff I had bought to my sister and that was a big thing and it brought back memories but it's something that had to be done and something I should have done a long time ago but I wasn't ready.I know that God has a plan for me and I went through what I went through for a reason.God never sends us anything we can't handle.As far as other options to be a mother well I already am,I have a 6 yr old son and a 4 yr old daughter and I'm very lucky to have them in my life and they are both healthy.Just because I'm already a mom doesn't make what I went through less harder though.I had my kids young and my body just couldn't carry another child to term.Before people start freakin out and say young people shouldn't have kids,I've been with my husband 8 yrs and been married for 6 of those and we're happy and I'm only 22.And we won't be making any more babies,he had a vasectomy a couple months ago,he was afraid if he got me pregnant again that next time I might be the one losing my life and he wasn't willing to risk losing me just to try to have another child.
