I realized that, deep down, I did not believe that a 6 week embryo, with no brain to support consciousness, was truly a person. I had the abortion on a Saturday afternoon in September. My pregnancy at age 30, with my son, was not planned, but I was in a position where I could reasonably support and care for a child, and I felt emotionally ready. I fear that when she is 19, anti-choice zealots will have succeeded in outlawing abortion and she will not have the same choices I had. To share your story, send email .
Abortion is about respect - respect for women's morality and individuality.
