Sometimes it's wondering if the woman who carried you in her belly for nine months ever even held you in her arms. I can tell you that it isn't always being grateful that your birth mother decided to give you life and give you away. I have felt and lived in the pain that can come with being adopted. If I wasn't given the choice to keep my child, if my only options were adoption or an abortion, I would choose an abortion.
Personally, I think that once you give the government control of reproductive choices, you cannot take that power back. Some have put restrictions on the number of children women could keep. Some have forced women to become pregnant and bear children.
Other governments have put laws in place governing children. I'm pro-choice because, if the government took away my choice, I would choose abortion.Ĭonfused? Don't worry, I'll explain more.
