Being an aussie, I missed a lot of the drama that was happening in the US. From the comments above, it sounds like it was a battle between making abortion legal or illegal.
Personally, I don't think abortion is right.
A lot of people will say things like...but what if she was raped? Well, I don't believe rape is right either.
I also know of children who are born as a product of rape who have been good people who have accomplished a lot in life.
I believe it is the job of the community and of the government to give pregnant women the care and support required to turn a potentially awful conception into a gift for the next generation.
If you have personally been the victim of rape, if you have had an unplanned pregnancy, if you have an abortion: My heart breaks for you. I hope you are doing okay. I hope people around you are giving you the love and care that you need.
I hope that if you are forced to give birth, that it is as painless as possible, and that you fall in love with your child, and that they make your life a billion times happier.
