Well. After that last post, I found myself almost writing more in the comments than I did in the entry itself. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE comments?

I just want to take this moment to say that I am still pro-choice. Partial birth abortion makes me want to cry and vomit all at the same time, and I wish that never had to happen to these poor little brand new people who never got a chance. But  there’s so much beauty in the fact that the women who chose LIFE had a choice. 

In the comments on my last post I mentioned those billboards that say, “Choose life – your mom did.” Your mom didn’t have an abortion. She consciously said, “No, I choose to give this child life.” And that’s amazing! I had a choice. I could easily (well, maybe not easily, but I could) have not said anything to A about how I was late, hid it from him until I knew for sure if there really was a little person in there, and then had an abortion. He never had to know. But I made the choice to tell him, to hope with him, to text him excitedly when I saw those little pink lines. I chose to give my kid a chance at life, the best I can give it. 

And this is why I won’t condemn anyone for the choices they make. Because it is their choice, the 15 year old rape victim has just as much right to terminate than 35 hopeful mom. If they choose not to, it’s beautiful. If they choose to, then hopefully they will give a chance to another kid someday in the future. 

But your mom chose life… so you could have a choice too.
