My Mom told me she wished she could have had an abortion when she was pregnant with me. Considering her treatment of me in every aspect of our relationship, I strongly feel a woman must have the safe, affordable option to have an abortion, for any reason of her own. Wouldn’t it be a better idea to allow love to be a birthright? So many children are abused, abandoned and murdered. The stigma attached to a woman’s right to make this critical choice is shameful, and the guilt and judgement imposed by others is self-righteous and unrealistic.
