My 17 yr old asked me to tell how I became pro-choice. (Long)

[Mother Of Four]

33. It's not nosy at all....

When we first were faced with it he was desperate and afraid, he couldn't see himself living without me or having to explain to the kids what had happened. That was the core of our fight. After we found the Dr. that cared for me, he accepted it and supported me fully. He went to every appt, and took care of our home. He was also quite the drill sgt about me staying in bed.

Sitting here after seeing the responses, and answering your question has me a little misty. During delivery there was one point where I was drifting in and out, I remember him holding my face and talking to me. He smelt like coffee, and had two days of bristles. 100% my husband. I was sitting up while they were trying to give me an epidural and he kept telling me "You made it this far, you are NOT going to pass out now. You're going to stay right here with me!"

After we brought my daughter home, he told me that I had been through enough. He wanted a vasectomy and told me it was the least he could do with everything we'd been through and he never wanted me to have to face that choice again. It might sound like a weird thing to melt someones heart, but it melted mine. He got one, and we've not looked back.
