How pregnancy can change your outlook on life
Check
out our latest Real Life Story, submitted from a mother who was
pro-abortion before she had her first daughter. Her daughter has Down
syndrome, and now she can't understand why people would vote for
candidates who would do nothing about the shockingly high abortion rates
for disabled children.
Prior to having my first child, I was solidly “pro-choice.” Live and
let live, I said! To each their own! I can vividly recall arguing
with my future mother-in-law and her best friend about it: “I’d never
get one but I shouldn’t be able to tell another woman what to do with
her body!” Fifteen years later I wonder how those two kept their cool
with a very naive 20-year-old me. To their credit, they never once
called me stupid to my face.
It didn’t occur to me at the time how flawed my reasoning
was: not just flawed, but completely asinine. I had the talking
points down well before the “war on women.” The National Organization
of Women had nothing on me—until I became pregnant, that is.
