  Everyone Has An Opinion

  When it comes down to this issue, everyone has an opinion, and everyone gets heated. My theory, if you don't believe in abortion, don't have one. It's a personal choice and no matter of debate should truly matter. It's up to the woman, and that's it. What I think is helpful that this article points out, however, is that people are trying recruit, versus help. Yes, some people have commented that it's good to have lot's of options available, but it's completely different to actively recruit, like these people are doing. Present the options, but don't invade a person's privacy. This is a tough decision and the last thing a woman needs is another stressor following her around. I've had an abortion, and if someone like that would have approached me that day I would have felt it to be rude. Who likes being solicited, really? I mean, we all avoid the perfume lady at the store most the time, do you really think it's appealing when you are handling a pregnancy? It most certainly is not. Plus, no person was going to sway me from my decision. I was confident with my decision, I talked to my parents and boyfriend at the time, and it was the best option for me. I was not killing anything, I was choosing not to be pregnant and give birth. My life and my body simply could not handle it at that time. I also believe that someone has to take a breath of air before you can be accused of snuffing them out, so there is no guilt on my conscience. If you disagree, I'm okay with that, too. People believe different things, we are all different, and that's what makes us great. We live in a country that believes in freedom and equality, so let my body be free and let my beliefs be equal with yours.
