NARAL Pro-Choice America Statement on Senate Health-Care Bill

America no longer has a pro-abortion majority. Somebody at NARAL needs to stay up to date.

If the Democrats pass an anti choice bill, they will lose a lot of support to the Greens and the sofa in 2010.

How does it feel to be thrown under the bus. Nice to know you endorsed the RIGHT person. It should have been Hillary. Now we have a bill passed on the backs of women. Just great. So now you object, too little to late. Thanks for your help in making women second class citizens.

I’m Pro-choice and this is why here’s my story.
When I was 16, I had a baby. Aborting and adoption was no option for me “My Choice” . My parents raised me if you make a mistake, you own up and I did. When my son was six months old three men came to my door, asked for my ex-brother-in-law. At the time we had no screen door or a window to look out of to see who was there. I told them he wasn’t there and they barged in and two of them raped me. Cops were called, evidence was collected. I was not given any pills as they do today for rape victims, all I got was, dressing like that, no wonder, your just asking for trouble. I was wearing a tube shirt and shorts at the time cause it was hot and I had the door and windows shut. When I go out in public I wear a t-shirt and jeans and still do to this very day. One month passed and my worse fear became reality, I was pregnant. Again Abortion and adoption was no option “My Choice”. I went to my second doctors visit and he told me everything was fine. But it wasn’t the man lied. Now child’s services got involved even more and said I was immature and that my son would be better off without me, so I ran with him and moved to another city before they could get their hands on him. I know it was wrong, but what other option did I have, stay and they take my son or leave and hold on to him.
Anyways living in a new city I thought everything would be better. I got a job, visited the doctor. I thought everything was going great. The second child was born. Two weeks passed after his birth and I knew something was wrong with this child. Oh no everything is fine, your just over reacting. Next visit everything wasn’t so fine. he stopped breathing. He was rushed to a children’s hospital, later finding out he had a vesicle from his heart wrapped around his windpipe, this could be corrected, but there was more his body temperature was below normal, his weight and he had MS, leaving him blind and deaf and here’s the real kicker, always leaving the worst for last. He had incurable brain cancer.
I knew there was something wrong, cause this child never cried, always gasping for air, he never moved or anything, he just laid there. They explained that it wasn’t my fault, which I was grateful at least someone was on my side. I was also told that according to my medical chart the doctor who took care of me knew all about it from the first visit. I confronted him and asked why did he lie to me. His reply “You would have terminated the pregnancy”
Your absolutely right, I would have. That poor little boy suffered for 8 and half months. I took him home where he later died.

This is why now I have become pro-choice. No one and I mean no one has the right to withhold information or to tell someone what they can and can not do, just because of what they believe in. Pro-life people only tell you one side of the story like someone who had an abortion and regretted it or someone who was raped and is happy they didn‘t do it. They never tell the story of people like me. If I knew then what I know now. I would have got the abortion. A child should never have to suffer that kind of pain, parents should never have to sit and watch their child suffer, knowing that they had other options and was denied that option .
Why didn’t I give him up for adoption? Now honestly would you take a child that you know is going to die or would you take one that is healthily? Besides I never really liked adoptions and don’t highly recommend, but I would never tell anyone that they couldn’t either. That is totally up to them. I had three sisters that was taken away from my parents just because my dad lost his job and had no money at the time. Child’s services did not give my father no time to look for a new job before coming in and ripping his children from them. No job, no money, no children. My parent had no choice, someone made that for them.
Thank you for listening to my story. I hope this helps someone in what ever decision they make in life.
