Choice
I'm a day late - yesterday was the anniversary of Roe v Wade. Thirty five years ago the Supreme Court recognized a woman's right to choose whether or not to end a pregnancy. I was twenty-one years old.
I am profoundly pro-choice and understand it is never an easy one. At least not for anyone who has a conscience. The Supreme Court decision was a good one and this anniversary reminds me that we must continue to fight the good fight to prevent a return to an era of back alley butchers and bent hangers.
I read the words of another woman today who eloquently expresses the deeper meaning of that landmark decision thirty five years ago. Go, read.
