sometimes i’m glad i live in the uk – for a number of reasons and you’ve made me think of another – the anti-abortion lobby is not so strong

still I think the right to choose is not as strongly supported as it was

great article aaryn

Thanks to each and every one of you for leaving such nice comments. Whether you agree or not, I’m thankful that you were gentle. I don’t think I’m doing anything amazing here…just telling a story that I needed to tell. I appreciate all the feedback!

Thanks for such a personal and well-argued post. You’ve captured much of my argument about what being a consistent “pro-lifer” should mean. Because I am vicious, however, I also ask anyone with whom I am “discussing” the subject how many unwanted children they have adopted or fostered, and whether they voted for representatives who supported funding WIC and Head Start. They always get sooooo confused.

I love you and I and envy you for your ability to put all these things into such eloquent words.

I went to Law School in Germany and I got really heated up when it came to the subject about abortions.

I have been living in the US for about 4 years now and the longer I live her the more I wonder about the term “free” country.

You spoke out of my heart Aaryn. We have an abortion clinic here in town and I always see those “pro-life” people in front of it. I want to stop and say, hey, why don’t you adopt one of these unwanted kids, or help the one’s that get born into families that are “broken.

You guys remember the shooting we had a few months back here in Omaha, NE? The 19 year old that killed 8 people before he took his own life…., well he was born into a family that was obviously not able to raise him.

One thing that I learnt in Law School was, that criminals are made in Kindergarten…

I don’t want to judge anybody and I think, that EVERY woman should make her very own decision when the time comes.

And about those Supreme Court Judges. A Judge should be independent and non-political.
Not selected by a party……

I am not giving up hope that we (women) will be free one day and will be able to decide what we do and what is good for us….

So . . . my family is the type that feels very differently from me, politically speaking and otherwise, and I’m pretty sure they send me these awful incendiary political emails just to piss me off.

In contrast, I come here and get to read your well-written articles that actually make some sense and that I also happen to agree with. It’s so refreshing. And I’m so glad you’re brave enough to print what you have to say. AND you’re a fabulous person besides. I think it’s safe to say I have a little girl-crush on you, in a non-stalker kind of way. Please keep writing.

That was beautifully written and really exposes the essence of choice. Your perspective is uniquely genuine. Thanks for posting it.
