I feel great! Since you mention it I will point out that I am in the most enviable of human hormonal states, the post menopausal female! My hormonal regulation has become perfected to individual functioning to a degree unattainable to men (ever) or fertile women, now that childbearing is an obsolete function for me. The stability of my concentration, focus, energy, sleep cycle and mood is unparalleled!
That's how I know to go ahead and let fly when I get pissed off. I'm more likely than most to be generally well justified and to accurately judge when the bastard generally deserves it.
I express myself here through typed word; you have never observed my mouth nor heard me speak, so I assume your hyperbole is about something else. (Hopefully a personal issue about which you will be extremely reluctant to share.)
I do not advocate for abortion.
I recognize that tolerating it is a necessary evil reality, (like some husbands and all religions, for a time at least) because the world is not perfect. Husbands, wives, children, grandparents, parents, fetuses and communities aren't perfect. Heartbreakingly imperfect, a lot of the time.
And I recognize that one should judge carefully, hedging one's bets toward being a sucker rather than a cynic if given a choice. (But for consistency's sake, anyone who cheered the acquittal of George Zimmerman has no ground to stand on in opposing abortion!)
You nor I will never stand on any ground in the bare feet of a 15 year old unwanted, never loved, lavishly manicured but uncared for little girl who gazes at a future now defined by a 2cm pink cross on a pee covered stick! There is nothing metaphorical in her understanding that her parents will kill her! To carefully tease out the moral fine points, one has to be older than fifteen, generally speaking.And life has to take an unprecedented (for her) fantastic upswing in fortune for training in any such moral inspection to be possible.
As a psychiatrist, I treated a schizophrenic woman at a state hospital who had "mistakenly" roasted her infant to death in her oven. I promise I did not have to yell at her and lecture her about the personhood of her child, once her mind was restored.
Greater love has no man as she who preserves her own life (and that of her other children's mother), despite the needs of an unborn child.
Every abortion stops a beating human heart, and breaks at least one other! (Regardless of your judgement of the outer countenence.) Don't you know broken hearts respond poorly to being stomped on?
Broken hearts and stunted spirits must be handled sparingly and with utmost care and only by those who can suffer lovingly with fools, supporting them to find their way to their own light.
You can't help being foolish on these subjects. You are a man. You can never fully partake of this mystery.

You're so easy. You're like the organ grinder's monkey. Start winding up the little organ and at the first note you take off your little hat, do your little dance, croak out your little song and start begging for a penny. Same song, same dance, same begging.
Saints see themselves only as sinners and sinners see themselves as saints. Physician, heal thy self!
