Thanks for this article. As someone who has made this choice and suffer every single day as a result of it, I know all too well the consequences that NO ONE talks about. I am now staunchly pro life as a result, but felt differently for many years. I appreciate your honesty and willingness to look more critically at this. And I do have to say, being on the other side of this choice is never the place a woman wants to be once she’s there. It’s a horrible horrible thing, and I do strongly now believe the world would be a much better place without it. I am reminded of my own life in that way every single day.
And this is why laws can't be based on feelings. Because I'm also on the other side of that choice, and I'm grateful I was able to make it. I believe the world is a better place when women are able to weigh up what's right for their families and have that agency. Yes, it is a horrible and fraught situation to be in, but I'm relieved I had safe and compassionate healthcare.

Both of us, because this is how we feel and not some objective truth.
