May 2014

I'm too old to worry about reproductive issues for myself. I'm pro-choice for my daughter and granddaughter, who are *human beings*, not vessels for the unborn.
My daughter will soon give birth to her second (and probably last) child. Both her pregnancies were difficult and she was/is under lots of medical care. She endured the discomfort and health dangers because she *wants* children (and she's a wonderful mother). I simply cannot imagine being forced to endure this life-and-health threatening process because the *government* dictates that once you have four cells in your uterus, your body and life are no longer your own. And this dictate from the same folks who are always screaming "small government"!
