[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks to all who shared their stories. I don't think that can be easy. Thanks, OP.

I am pro-life.

I do not have strong feelings about the Supreme Court decision other than that it seems, from a legal perspective, reasonable.

I know a good number of people (including myself and one sibling and an adopted niece) who would not be here if our mom had not chosen life. Our mom couldn't really afford us. Her relationship choices were not good. Our grandparents urged her to abort because they believed her struggles as a single mom raising mixed race kids would be too great.

I want to join forces with the pro-choice side because I live in the real world; I hear and reflect on the stories like yours OP and others. But can we find a way to do it in a way (and I think, OP, you did) that allows choice while not elevating abortion as THE choice. I don't speak for any kind of movement, but I do know that 20% of people who go to pregnancy crisis centers (the kind many abortion advocates hate) go on to choose abortion anyway.

I know many people here perhaps hate people like me, think I'm stupid and ignorant, think it's not worth even talking to someone like me. But I just wanted to offer my appreciation of your generosity in sharing difficulty stories and offer my own perspective.[/quote]
I don't know anyone that is pro-choice that says it is THE CHOICE, I'm not sure where you are getting that idea from, but it's wrong. No one is forcing anybody to have abortions.

The point that I take from your story is that your mother had a choice and she made the one that made the most sense for her. You, OF ALL PEOPLE, should be thrilled that she had and made the choice that was right for her personal and medical situation. Why would you want to take that choice away from anybody?[/quote]
