I feel this way about the issue tho, because my parents sacrificed their lives to have my brother at 18. The return was worth it, but I know the struggle was real.

Your parents made a choice
Here’s a post from a good friend
I am a flood of emotions this morning. What was supposed to be a walk with my daughter ended up in an ANGRY, sweaty, crying run.
At 19, I chose to have an abortion.
Why is none of your business but the fact that I had the freedom to make a deeply personal choice for my own body and life makes yesterdays decision extremely triggering for myself and many, many other women.
Would I have finished college?
Would I have had to leverage additional government programs other than the food stamps I was already on?
Would I have gone on to have all the amazing, worldly experiences, careers and children that I do today?
1 in 4 women have an abortion today. What will happen to these women now? What will their futures look like without choice? I don’t share this to argue. Quite frankly, I will never agree with the pro-life “rationale” - I’ve worked in healthcare and with vulnerable populations for far too long (and if you haven’t, I invite you to go educate yourself). I share to inspire you - man or woman, right or left - our work has just begun. This issue will dominate our lives and our children’s lives for many, many years ahead.
But this promise I make - to my own children, - I will always fight for you, your freedoms and your right to choose who you love and what you do with your bodies.
Today we grieve, then we fight like hell.
