There are quite a few people who have commented here and said the procedure was extremely painful for them. A close friend of mine has had this procedure, and it was very painful for her. It sounds like you're basing a lot off your own experience, which is fine, but I think you need to acknowledge that the experience isn't the same for everyone. Additionally, there is the added layer of coercion with this particular bill, and your continued defense of the procedure itself as "not that bad" makes it seem like you don't think everyone should be making such a big deal about the bill. If you're trying to make some point about WHY we should be getting up in arms about the bill (i.e. saying that it's not about the painfulness of the procedure), you're not succeeding at making that point and only seem to be making excuses for the bill.
Can I ask, were yours done as a precondition of having an abortion? As in, you would not have been allowed to have an abortion if you didn't consent to an unnecessary procedure? If not, yours being painless is fantastic for you, but utterly immaterial to the debate at hand.
That's probably the case. The article makes it sound like the bill has passed entirely and will be signed into law, which is not what's occurred yet. It's likely the Senate version will pass the house, and I wouldn't be surprised if the House version gets withdrawn entirely from consideration in the Senate.
I said he was trying to make up for it, not that he had succeeded. Plus, my entire point was really about how Chris Brown continues to display exactly zero remorse for what he did, and has done nothing to try to make up for it.
I have had many a client who was a crack addict, but thanks for your assumptions.
