Reply #94: I believe in free speech; if you want to wear one, fine

I was was date-raped as a young woman, and was very drunk when it happened. I was so ashamed that I didn't tell anyone, not even my best friend. I missed my next period. The people at the clinic at PP was so wonderful; they gave me a pregnancy test (I wasn't), and helped me to get contraceptives and counseling. If I had been pregnant, I might have gotten an abortion--I don't know. I'm glad it was an option. I care very deeply about and personally about the ability of a woman to choose, and because of that, I don't want it trivialized, as if it were like having a wisdom tooth pulled. That being said, if PP wants to have a PR trainwreck, and undo all of the hard work dedicated workers and volunteers have given it over the years, I will direct my donations and efforts to choice organizations that take this seriously.
