Thank you, Connie, for a clear, concise and well-reasoned article that respects the “breathing, sentient, functioning woman” who is affected by an unwanted pregnancy. While I don’t mind people following their beliefs, I do mind it when they want me, and/or everyone, to follow their beliefs.
Brava to you, Connie! You put to words what so many of us believe about abortion. Not being in favor of abortion, the reasons you gave were my exactly reason why I became Mona Freeman’s recovery room nurse after she opened the Women’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach. More often than not, the women and teenagers who came out of the OR, were in tears, not because they’d done it but because it was not an option they would have chosen had there been another viable option for them. Yes, some who were pre-counseled by Mona chose to have the baby and let him or her be adopted, but most could not do that for many of the reasons you put forth. Thank you!
