I don't intend to stick it under a teabagger's nose, but I think it's a-ok
to remind myself and others that abortions already are rare. The words
*safe* and *legal* are, to me anyway, patently obvious.
As I see it: I went through two of them. The first was directly after my dad's suicide.
When I found out I was pregnant, I became suicidal myself. The second made me
so angry at myself that I nearly succeeded.
Had it not been for the shame and self-loathing, the abortions I underwent would not
have cost me ten years of my life to angst and anger. The life choices I made
AFTER those procedures were not the ones I otherwise would have made. My issue
was not about the abortions themselves, but the isolation and anger I felt because of
cultural taboos. I don't want young women to have to experience what I did,
so I would like to see the conversation changed -- sooner, not later.
Like I said: Abortion on Demand -- No Exceptions, No Apologies.
Just my opinion. Thanks!
