When I was young-er, I thought I knew everything and was against abortions.
But as time went by and my naivety slowly vanished as I got older, my views changed.
My way of thinking expanded and started questioning anything & everything
(thank you for that Jim)
I listened and learned that there are a myriad of reasons for a woman needing to have an abortion, other than the one most talked about -- "oh gee, I had unprotected sex and now need an abortion"
I realized that things are not so cut and dry
Not to mention, morally challenging as well
Just like, aren't birth control pills themselves a form of 'abortion' in the sense that it keeps a fetus from being formed?
I mean, overall, all of this is a very complex/complicated topic and I do not feel like it can be wrapped up in a box and labeled good or bad --- it's just too technical and complex
Therefore, even tho I myself could never go through with it
I am not going to sit in judgement and tell other women what they should or should not do.
I do not know them
I do not know their story
I do not know their history
I do not know their financial situation
I simply do. not. know.
To each their own
One has to live with their choice, whichever way they decide
Which apparently, that makes me 'Pro-choice'
