Blog for Choice day

[maevele]

It's the RvW anniversary, and so far, hey, we've kept that right. For now.

Here's my blog for choice. I had an abortion 13 years ago. I'm not going to justify it, because that would defeat the whole Choice thing, if I start playing "My reasons are good enough." But I had one, and although it was in no way easy, and I would not do it again, I do not and will not regret it.


If you are on my list, and this changes how you think of me, feel free to tell me so I know who is quietly judging me, and I'll know where we're at.

As someone who made a point of letting LJ-Land know she was pro-life today, I feel like I should pipe up and say no, it doesn't change how I think of you, and I am not quietly judging you.

I admit, I am curious how you can be against my right to have had an abortion, think it is wrong, without judging me for having done so, but I would rather this not turn into a huge argument.

No, I don't want a huge argument either. *shrug* "Judge not, lest ye be judged," right? Everyone does things I don't agree with. *I* do things I don't agree with. If I let it change my opinion of everyone in my life, I don't think I'd have anyone left.

Fair enough. I do have to ask, are you pro-life in the sense you'd like abortion to be illegal, or in some subtler way of just not agreeing with it?

Again, I don't want to start a fight, and I'm only telling you because you asked. So! I am pro-life in the sense that I would like for it to be illegal.

uh, okay. there is nothing else I could say here that wouldn't turn this into the argument we're trying to avoid.
