"I do not believe that causing the failure to grow or removal of a ball of undifferentiated human cells that could eventually become a baby is equivalent to murder. And it is because of people like me that abortion should not be illegal - someone else's religious beliefs have no business governing my body."

Amen sister! I'm a mom...and I had an abortion after my son was born. Long story short - I am embarrassed to admit it, but I went off of the pill for a month (postponing my annual check up, thereby not renewing my 'script on time). So I have to own my mistake in that. Fortunately, I live in a (mostly) free country. Having another child would have put an immense amount of strain on my family, across the board. It was a major decision, and I will forever remember the date it happened. But - what is more important? Some cells...or an already existent little boy with real and immediate needs?
