Everyone is posting quotes
about how they believe that abortion is wrong.
I’m going to post my opinion. I believe in the right for
women to have an abortion.
I believe as a woman I can and will do as I choose with
my body.
A lot of women are sexually assaulted everyday. After the
trauma of that, why should they have to carry a child, and a child
that has the DNA of her rapist? I personally don’t know what
I would do, but I know what it’s like to be violated. My
mother is a drug addict and my father wasn’t in my life. We
were broke all of the time. We never had money. If it came to my
mother getting high or me having food. The drug came first. The
drug always came first. I wanted to die most of my childhood; I
wanted to not have my mother hate me. I wanted my father to come
and save me. My mother never stopped hating me, and my father never
came to save me. A lot of people can’t afford a child, and I
know “they shouldn’t have had s e x” Well they
did. Now what? Maybe the child will suffer and die of starvation,
and then you can say how horrible the parents were for not taking
care of their child. Adoption is always an option. My mother had
the option. My mother’s sisters offered. Several couples
wanted me. Well we see that she chose to make my life a living
hell. A lot of women can’t bear to carry a child, only to
give it away. The ones that do give their child up, I deeply
respect. Just as I respect mothers who can make a hard decision to
not put a child through a horrible life.
So this is my
opinion. I don’t care if you don’t like it. But
I’m entitled to have an opinion.
