I think women should make knowledgeable, informed decisions before undergoing ANY medical or surgical procedures. I have known women who have used abortion as a form of birth control, and I very much disagree with it; I don't think that is a responsible way for an adult to behave. I have also known women who have had abortions due to medical necessity. One woman in particular, who I am quite close to, consulted the head of her house of worship, and multiple doctors, before choosing with her husband that this was the safest choice for their family. And I supported her in that. I am pro-choice for just that reason: I don't feel that I could ever have a part in taking away the option of a necessary abortion for a knowledgeable, well-informed individual. My friend's procedure took place in a respected hospital, and now, months later, she is pregnant again with her second child, and we are all hoping and praying for a safer pregnancy this time. If there hadn't been that medical option available for her (or for hundreds of other women every year), the outcome for her family could have been very different. I feel comfortable saying that I, personally, would never have an abortion, but if I were in my friend's shoes, I can't say that I wouldn't have made the same choice for my family.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11029097.post-74943366185129917112009-05-14T19:43:00.000-04:002009-05-14T19:43:00.000-04:00This is a great post.
