The news spread the word that they want it to where insurance companies are not covering the cost of women who have abortions or women who take birth control? Not the women, just the abortions and the birth control.
I wasn't aware, are they trying to repopulate the country or something? I had no idea. Count me out though. If they don't want to cover my birth control pills, they make other contraceptives.
Im not proud to admit it, but I've had an abortion. It wasn't the greatest experience. I am PRO CHOICE but I don't think it's right for women and people to take advantage and use this method as birth control. Thats not good on our bodies. For the bible thumpers, their god would not approve. It's murder they will tell you. YOu know the stories. The awful tales...
Ever think about adoption?
Be pro choice, be pro life. Just BE. SMART
It's all about control. When women can control our bodies, control our reproduction, then we can control our futures. We are less dependent on men, economically and in all other ways. This frightens those men who have traditionally held the power, especially in these times of recession.
ReplyDeleteI'm strongly pro-choice myself but if someone doesn't believe that abortion is morally correct, then don't have one. I, too, used to be silent but now I speak out. I am a good mother, a good wife, a moral person, and have had an abortion. It was a decision that affects me to this day but that I still believe was the correct one for me at the time. I won't listen silently any more when this issue comes up and pretend that it doesn't affect me. Good for you for speaking out. Hugs.
Just because I'm Pro-Choice doesn't mean I'm Anti-Life. You hear that, Rick Santorum/thumping bibles?
ReplyDeleteCouldn't agree more. There will be unavoidable circumstances where abortion is the only logical choice -and not restricted to extreme situations like the mother is physically incapable etc.
ReplyDeleteAt the same time, abortion should not be treated as a failsafe because people are lazy/careless. Moral, physical and emotional consequences are terrible, and -from personal experience- will stay with you for life, whether you're the abortive father or mother. Very well written piece.
