Good question. Not that I was asked but I will just give my opinion. It's not right for everyone but it's right for
me.
I would without a shadow of a doubt have an abortion if
I was raped. Why? A number of factors.
I don't want to pass on
my genetic makeup onto anyone else. Not with all the illnesses that are genetic in
my family. Also
I am not prepared to be a mother. So why not give it up for adoption? Because
I cannot not work.
I support myself.
I have no family other than
my mother who lives in a home for mentally ill women. Also
my body cannot handle being pregnant. After being raped as a child
my body is not capable of carrying a baby to term. And if
I did carry it to term it would be a very complicated pregnancy, again which
I cannot afford. And
I don't mean just money wise.
I need to live somewhere.
I would not be able to live somewhere without paying rent. So there is why
I would have an abortion. It's not so black and white once it's on a real level. Yes, it's taking a life in your eyes. In
my eyes it's saving a life.
My life. And without
my life who would take care of my mother? Who gets to make the choice?
Me.
