I am a Mother with a Daughter

[tinkerbell41]

Abortion??? No question, it should be a right for any Woman to choose.
I brought my child to Planned Parenthood for Birth Control because her Primary care Physician practices abstinence only. Was it easy, yes and no. I DID NOT want to say go ahead have sex willy-nilly, I also did not want to hide my head in the sand and pretend "it" wasn't happening. I felt by taking her there I empowered her to take control of her body and life. Having a child when you are a teenager would be a prison. I want her to finish College, make something of herself and have independence. Hormones are uncontrollable as we all know, and one bad decision can lead to a lifetime of misery.
Until Men are held to the same standards, morally, socially, ethically, Abortion must be legal.
No matter how many arguments and cases that point to the contrary the burden of having a child ALWAYS falls to the woman. Until the people that scream "Baby Killer" step forward to take care of all those children born to Women ill equipped to handle Motherhood Abortion must be legal. I refuse
to force my Daughter to have a child when they don't have a chance at being financially stable.
Regardless of if she's mature enough to raise one. If her boyfriends parents wish to have a say, then they would unequivically make sure he WOULD be there, financially, emotionally,and physically.
Child Support doesn't even enter into it. Just because you pay someone a fixed amt every week, that doesn't even begin to cover the emotional, mental and physical toll. It is my body, that must house a being for 9 mos. My job that will take a hit, my life on hold. It is I that will be subjected to stares, gossip, if I am single. My education that will be disrupted. It is my choice!!!
