I was arguing with a guy the other day. He kept coming from the point that the child inside the woman’s body was a person. I understood. The problem I kept arguing is that she has a right to do whatever she wants with her body. It seemed we could not come to an agreement. He was telling her what he wanted, in effect. And I was telling him that he couldn’t tell her what to do. I think the answer lies in people minding their own business. If you want to have a child then have it. But, don’t tell me or anyone else what to do, and I say this because you wouldn’t want that person or me to tell you what to do. I had a relative who said but that person is getting funding to gut their child. To which I said, well, how else can they afford it? And if they can’t afford to pay for an abortion, how can they afford to raise a child? And as for the idea of giving the child up for adoption, who says the mother has to go through childbirth? This whole thing gets down to others telling others what to do. And the difference is one side is honoring the mother’s wishes. The other side is inflicting their will. My mother said her children were the best thing that ever happened to her. She raised us alone. She gave up her career(s). My mother sacrificed her life for us as I told my sister, who said she had a good life. But, my mother was poor. I had my own troubles. I support women. I have no say as concerns their bodies. I wish other people didn’t project their lack of self-control onto women.
