[quote=Anonymous]Because many of us think about people in other circumstances when making policy decisions. For a lot of issues, it isn't just about me - the upper middle class white chick who is 40-something and has a stable home and reliable birth control. It's about the 16-year-old or the 20-year-old (or poor 35-year-old or abused 40-year-old) whose life would be turned upside down by circumstances somewhat beyond their control. I had an unplanned pregnancy in my 30's and ultimately decided to go through with the pregnancy. But it was a tough time, and I had to make the decision that was best for me. Parenthood isn't for pussies; nobody should have to take it on if they don't feel ready. And birth control isn't always reliable - mine wasn't. [/quote]
