So, I read them both the other day & decided to think before I spoke (whole new perspective from me).
It all goes back to my honest belief that every woman deserves the right to choose, And, if given that right without the crap of outside pressures on what she "should" do, she will almost always make the right choice.
BINGO Cursing Mama! It all boils down to that: every woman needs to have the right to make the choice that is best for her. Period.
One small paragraph from "Story 2" really jumped out at me:
"Our family -- even my Catholic father and Republican father-in-law, neither of whom were ever pro-choice -- assured us that we were. Politics suddenly became personal -- their daughter's heartbreak, their son's pain, their grandchild's suffering -- and that changed everything."
Funny how those anti-choice folks can be swayed so quickly when they have a personal stake in something, eh? It always makes me think of the native american saying about "never judge a man until you have walked a mile in his moccasins".
That is the reason I fight for the right to choose. I have not had to walk that mile, and I am very grateful for that. But for the women that do have to walk that walk - I want them to have a CHOICE. Some will choose to abort, some will choose not to. What choice they make is THEIR CHOICE. Not mine. Not yours. Not any man or woman in some marbled room in some capitol. And like CM said, she will almost always make the right choice.

Nobody else has any thoughts on this?
