I oppose abortion on a personcal level. After feeling my son's tiny life inside me, I couldn't fathom terminating a pregnancy. But, I realize this is a very personal decision and one that every woman who faces an intended pregnancy, must deal with. When I became pregnant (after being told we would not be able to have children) we had just graduated from college and were jobless and broke. I remember going through the local Public Health department who discussed my options, given our situation. But given the fact that this was a miracle baby in the first place, no matter how dire our situation seemed at the time, abortion was not something I would have considered. But now that he is a teenager, there are days . . . LOL! I have friends who have chosen to have abortions and I know it is not an easy decision but I will always believe that it is a medical issue and needs to be protected as such. It is a matter between a woman and her Doctor.
