A touching story. When I was younger, and married, we got pregnant, and we both decided we were too young and immature to raise a child (I was a stupidly immature 30, she was only 20). So we got an abortion.

Although we both intellectually believed it was the right decision, it tore both of us up afterward. We immediately felt guilt and regret. When it happened again about a year later, we made a different decision, and birthed a beautiful daughter.

I will always be supportive of a woman's right to choose what to do with HER body. The decision is immensely complex. But to people who think it is just something that bad people do, or something about convenience, I say, fuck you. It will always be a painful choice.
