Yes, abortion is a heavily politicized issue AND for some a moral conundrum.
At Roe V Wade stands, every woman has the right to plan her family, when and with whom she has children and to abort a pregnancy if she doesn't want to be pregnant. Except women in a few states and frankly it looks more and more like politicians will drive RvW into the ground.
Hello Handmaids.
When you bring into the discussion all of the wonderful stories of children who have issues who were not aborted and are now doing well and or the stories of women not wanting to keep a child but offering it up for adoption to then be fiercely loved it creates stigma.
Should a woman who doesn't want her pregnancy to continue be forced to carry it and give birth?
Birth control can fail, human beings can suck at remembering to use it correctly. Maybe you said yes to sex never imagining that you would get pregnant.
I'm past child bearing time. I have a single daughter. She was planned. I never had birth control fail me and I'm lucky that the small handful of times I chose to have sex without protection I didn't get pregnant. Had I gotten pregnant under that sort of situation I would have aborted.
I am an atheist. Who will try to force me to believe in God? I'm not some sort of an ogre. I just don't believe there is a higher power in the way of standard religion.
I believe that abortion should be available to any woman who doesn't want to continue a pregnancy. Her reasons are her own. One reason is no better than the other.
Ruby Lee--I'm glad you've made your family the way you chose. I'm glad you never had an unwanted pregnancy.
Let's get rid of the stigma of a woman deciding to abort a pregnancy because she chooses to.
That is choice.
