Abortion is a complex issue.
It comes down to this...does a woman have the right to control decisions regarding her own body, reproduction and medical choices or is that decision up to a bunch of anonymous people who don't know her, don't know what she is going through (but are happy to judge) and have zero interest in her once she has given birth?
On the other side, she is carrying a potential - POTENTIAL - human life. I understand that argument too. But as a woman, my body is mine...it is all that is truly mine. I'm the one that has to live with any decision I make. Everyone else can, and likely will walk away once their will is done.
You don't walk in my shoes. You don't know what goes through my mind when I make a decision.
