Comment on Celebrate the 39th Anniversary of Roe v Wade by Allan

Whoa! 34 years ago I, too, got knocked up. I wasn’t 15, but at 24 I was dirvcoed and a single parent of a three year old. To top it off, I was told the abortion was medically necessitated and that my only other choice was to wait until I miscarried, when they were afraid they wouldn’t be able to control the bleeding. The chances of keeping the child were zero.Now, in the bad old days before Roe v Wade, I would have had to have my case reviewed by a hospital board, which could have taken up to six weeks. Six weeks we weren’t sure I had. Thank God, abortion was legal and I could get it done quickly and safely.I haven’t regretted it, either. When I was told what my options were, my first thought was that I had to keep myself alive for my son. There are a lot more reasons for abortion than the ones the Right-to-Lifers condemn. Choices keep us safe. While I agree not getting pregnant in the first place is better, I’m glad we have this as a fallback.

i’m totally for porn and for llnaeizigg prostitution, but i don’t think it’s accurate to use the blanket statement that these women choose the profession. i’m sure many choose the adult film industry on their own free will, along with stripping, but i think the numbers are a lot lower when it comes to prostitution. feminists who are against the sex industry are looking at the reasons why a woman may choose to go into such professions and looking at what’s lacking in their lives where they may have felt forced into it. there’s also of course the whole issue of being used by men and governed by men in the form of pimps. i’m probably just restating a bunch of things you already know and have considered it just struck a chord with me when you seems to assert that it’s simply a choice and didn’t seem to take into account the reasons behind such choices.which is what i think feminism is about. not just choice but looking at the reasons behind the choice (not to say neither of you are considering this as well). i totally agree with you melissa, there is no reason to bash one side or the other those who choose to be mothers and those who don’t. but it’s important to look at the reasons why. did a woman feel forced into motherhood? did she get pregnant at 18 and thought motherhood was her only option? or did a woman decide not to have a child because she felt it would interfere with her career, and why was she forced to choose a career over motherhood and why doesn’t our society support both more readily (as in government funded child care and lifting the stigma that mommies receive in the workforce in the form of less pay and lower positions).anyways. i really don’t intend any of the above to be an argument or anything, just adding to discussion. i’d be really interested in picking up that book as i also really don’t have any intention of having kids and i get really turned off from the reactions i receive and the attitudes i see in communities like childfree. i think the thing that irritates me most about that community is that they constantly complain about kids and bash mothers depicting them as unfit parents, as you noted, and while i get irritated with kids too, that’s not what my decision is really about.

I can not tell you the number of peploe that tell me that Palin scares the hell out of them Republicans and Indpendents included.Last night, I watched part of another gubernatorial debate with Palin in 2006. She’s pretty good at debating. She mentioned a few things that I never heard of (Alaskan politics) and sounded fine to my uninformed ear. Most Americans that will watch tonight will not realize that she is clueless and the media will not tell them.
