Dignity doesn't seem to be important with those who accosted you. Your willingness to be vulnerable to those kind of creeps and their attacks by revealing your choice is so generous, and typical of you.

Okay, when I was 20, I was pregnant, had a baby still nursing, and was getting a divorce. I chose adoption. I didn't have to carry her. I chose to. I nourished her and loved her the best way I knew how and did what I thought was best for her. I considered abortion. If I was felt less stable, has used drugs, or a victim of incest, or had AIDS, or knew I carried muscular dystrophy like my grandmother who watched three sibs die, or was 38, as I am now, I would have made a different choice. And I am thankful I had that choice. But I was young, strong, felt up to it. My pregnancies were easy. It was my choice. I couldn't wouldn't do it now. By no means do I mean to say that these are the only reasons one might choose abortion. I think that it is totally up to the woman. No one makes this kind of decision casually. No one should be punished for her choice.
