You were clearly hip to the hurt this subject churns up when you started this thread, going by the title and yet for whatever reason you wrote what you wrote and let it hang there long enough for me to respond to it (more than microsecond it usually takes someone chirp in about a dead link or a typo).
When people give their life experiences on a thread like this it's not attention seeking, it's making a valid point that blanket believers in a non-abortion world ride over or remain ignorant of.
There is a rise in "I believe" politics which frankly disturbs me.
Yes I believe that animals shouldn't be slaughtered by humans for food but I don't politically lobby to limit the rights of meat eaters. I speak my mind when I'm asked but I don't picket restaurants of leather goods shops.
The winter Olympics drew attention to how the Russian Orthodox church is driving politics in that country also the Ugandan 'hang the homos' situation is being fueled by American Christian Evangelists. I'm sure you don't want a death list of women who have aborted pregnancies in your town but it comes from the same reflex against the advances in human rights over religious authority in the last four decades or so.
If I were a female Doctor who trained under the pretty corrupt regime of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi only to find I now can't leave the house unattended or drive a car let alone find a cure for cancer because some tit with one eye on the bronze age says God says it's dirty, I'd be pretty pissed off.
Similarly I thank fate that I'm not an eleven year old girl raped in Chile and forced to carry full term based on the Catholic church's teaching.
These laws are based on feelings, myths and prejudices not on something measurable or provable.
You might as well bill the same gendered married for the floods in England.
Having a debate about religions or abortion or anything is fine but to expect civility when you call people who place examples of life experiences that challenge 'tummy feel' based ideas as nothing more than appeals for sympathy or attention is astonishingly brass-headed. Even if it is for a limited run and in lieu of alternative phrase.
You started a thread about good news and reported your happy event, my happy event was a bumper crop of golden carrots. I grow my own food, getting a bumper crop is good news to me. But somehow this is what a dig at you or something?
You can't figure this sort of stuff out with out prompting?
