Room for a litte'n in here?
I have been thinking (and praying) about this forum and after going through your SoF, realised that it about lines up with what I have always held as my core beliefs.
To explain: I have spent all my life (soon to be 50 years!) a nurse working in the operating theatre (US version OR!!) and sometime in the late 60s, abortion became legal in the UK but it was not until the late 70s it permeated into the Op Theatre. All staff were given the option of being able to refuse to be involved with the actual procedure if they were Catholics and it was amazing how, overnight, I suddenly found I had a department staffed entirely by RCs!!
However, as I was the manager, I wasn't afforded that luxury and consequently had to help out at every termination that came through my department. I wasn't actually a Christian at the time and thought, ah well, so what. It's got to be done.
But let me tell you, after just a few weeks of potting up the unrecognisable remains of those poor little angels, I soon lost my ability to be impartial. I hated it. I found myself saying prayers over the indelicately termed "products of conception" (what a neat way to dismiss the barbarism) and even to weep over them. I lost my ingénue status then although it would be another 5 years before I accepted Christ as my Lord and Saviour.
So, if, after last night debacle, I am still welcome here, I would very much like to share time in here with you all. If not, no harm done. I will quite understand and be on my way.
BTW - I already left my name in the sign-in thread up top.

I remember when I was a lil girl my mom cut her thumb pretty bad...she must have hit a vein because blood was splurting all about. 
And I got very light headed...she had to stop nursing herself to help me put my head between my legs.
