I don't get these people. From "safe and :Legal" we have come to "happily" standing up for abortion. Do they think this state of mind is something for women to strive for?
Amy Oppemhiemer's article "Still Grateful for My Abortion, Over 40 Years Later" in the Huffington Post, left me feeling sad and sick.
In the quest for what she deems success, it seems killing your unborn children is not only acceptable but a "gift" in order to "explore the world, and to decide what my place in that world would be. " As she shares her grandmothers lives, she makes it clear that she thinks they were unable to fulfill their dreams while stating she was able " to live the life I dreamed of."
I hate to clue Amy in but she did not have to choose between a career and family. Many women have both, it just takes determination and a lot of love. "I have to wonder", she says," if my mother and grandmother had the opportunity to achieve higher education and follow their dreams, what would their lives have been like? "
My guess would be that no matter what they could have achieved in the professional world they could not imagine not having any one of their children.
As this fraction of women "happily" stand for abortion, I cannot help but feel sorry for them. "I do not want the freedoms which allowed me to have the education and economic security I have enjoyed and were fought for by strong women from generations before me, to become history,"Amy says.
I hate to clue her in, but no amount of education or economic security can take the place of the loving embrace of your child.
