I'm going to violate my own header here perhaps, but everybody else is so what the heck?
I do have children. My son was born in 1980too. I was a bride of 18. My son was proof that babies are not allocated judiciously. In 1993, when I became pregnant again, my husband left me. I was 21, I was scared. I had no home, no car, no education, we'd spent my college fund on a house that was repossessed. I had plenty of time to get an abortion. I could barely fend off the wolves from myself and my little boy. I chose to place Baby2 for adoption at birth. That has been my own private agony. Not so private now. But it was my CHOICE. When she was born and I had all those hormones coursing through my body, I wanted to keep her. I have their phone number. I have never called it. I did what I thought was best for everybody. It took strength.
I also have a disabled grandmother who has been living with me for five years. She had three siblings die of muscular dystrophy. If I had a baby test positive I would CHOOSE to flush it away so fast rather than watch it him die slowly over a period of 10-20 years. She aborted illegally at least once.
What really makes me sick is girls who are councilled not to abort early pregnancies by RW religious groups, but then say, "Oh no, I could never give up my baby for adoption" and the baby ends up abused, wigged on drugs, the life of the young mother AND the child is trashed. Why don't they butt out and let the girl make her own CHOICE without showing her horrific photos of abortion products designed to shock. Where are they when the baby is older? Those same Hyper Christians, for the most part condemn her, reduce her welfare, expect her to succeed, her child is expected to compete with theirs for college admission, and scholarships...
i dunno.. CB i think it is seldom a casual CHOICE for anybody to abort, but i think it is between a woman and her god |
