We were in the car this morning, on our way to an appointment, listening to the radio. MPR had a discussion going about abortion, and they had a Dr. they were talking to who actually performs abortions and is a very big pro choice activist.

I found myself literally to the point of tears while listening to the discussion. It is so hard for me to listen to them talking about the sheer number of people who believe that abortions should not happen, period.

How can we live in a society that claims to support freedom, yet is so close to taking away such an important choice from women? Granted, I cannot picture myself ever being in a position where I would be willing to abort a child growing within me. It is never something I could bring myself to do personally. Yet, being in a position of finding myself with a surprise pregnancy, and going through all of the emotions involved (even, for that matter, going through them with someone who supported me in any decision I made), I can understand why it is so important for someone to have that choice.

Is it possible that the people who are so strongly against letting everyone make this choice for themselves have just never been in a situation where such a decision could be reached? Is it mostly males that account for the votes against this vital choice?

What ever happened to trusting people to make their own decisions?

It is just so frustrating, and so very emotional for me. Such a decision as an abortion is never one that anyone in a position to have one would take lightly.

Anyhow, enough of that rant.

We were on our way to the clinic this morning to get my baby tested for allergies. I hope that they come out all negative. On the bright side, they are able to test through blood work, and don't have to do little splotch testing on him.




Those thoughts don't go together. I just don't care right now. Fluent writing is wonderful, but I don't have the time or energy for it. So I'm done.

Farewell for now blog. See you tomorrow.
