I am not usually one to voice an opinion on important issues.
And in the debate of pro-life vs pro-choice I am usually closer to the pro-choice side for the fact that I do not believe I have the right to say what another woman does with her body. Not that I personally approve of abortion, but who am I to judge.
That came into a different light this morning. I was laying in bed giving my unborn child some belly rubs, while he was fighting a doozy case of the hiccups, when I remembered that in the state of North Carolina I have until the end of tomorrow to legally terminate this baby.
Not that I would, but just knowing that it is an option...makes me sick. My son has boy parts, and a personality, and hiccups for cryin' out loud!
Granted, in order for you to terminate your baby at the hospital this late something has to be wrong with the baby or with you. Even then, I would have to be a stronger woman to willingly get rid the obvious life inside me.
keep growing my little man.
I love that you voiced (ahem, typed) this out Jo. I guess you could say I'm down right pro-life when it comes to it, because it is a life. I hope that if a woman comes across this post one day and is thinking about terminating a pregnancy that what you said will change her mind.
ReplyDeleteI love you pretty lady and love that sweet little soon-to-be nephew of mine that has boy parts, personality, and... hiccups. ;)
