[quote=Anonymous]I was always pro-choice but mainly for extreme circumstances (rape, mother in danger etc) but knew you can't really separate the issue so always called myself pro choice.  However since having kids I am now VERY pro choice in a way that I never would of expected.  The fact is this shit is HARD and I have education, money, a supportive community, and access to good healthcare.  I can't imagine how hard it is for impoverished teenagers or single parents who already have a few kids or really any un ideal circumstance.  Adoption isn't perfect either and I think the "adoption bandaid" is used in theory too frequently. Now as a parent I realized that I really wouldn't want my own teenager to have to carry a pregnancy and delivery and then give up the baby...it just seems like way too much to emotionally endure as a child herself.  I keep these feelings to myself because I feel they would come off as inhumane and shouldn't parenting make you more pro life? I kind of wonder if something is wrong with me.  For the record I love being a parent and am happy with my life but its just a strange change of views I have experienced and was curious if anyone else has as well?[/quote]
