Anger.

If anything, becoming a mother has only solidified my pro-choice stance. My pregnancy was planned and desired. I love my child.

But I wouldn't wish pregnancy or parenting on anyone who didn't want it. Nor would I ever want to force someone to carry a child who would most certainly die before or shortly after birth. If I had found myself at 20 weeks, facing an ultrasound of a fetus who had defects not compatible with life, I would have fought very hard to terminate the pregnancy, though I'm not sure what my options would have been in Virginia. The thought of bringing a child into the world only to make it suffer? That is cruel and heartless. If I had a daughter, I wouldn't want her to ever be in the position where she was forced to carry a pregnancy to term.

Dr. Tiller was killed by terrorists. And the gunman wasn't the only one.

it makes me so sad people are so anti pro-choice, that they result to violence. it's sad. there are many faces to abortion and i myself am one of those faces, whom had a million and one reasons to make that choice. i hope that the ability to have the choice remains and the doctors that help those women remain safe.
