"I don’t like writing about abortion. The last thing the world needs is another man talking about what women should or shouldn’t do with their bodies. But in the aftermath of laws outlawing abortion after six weeks in Georgia and Ohio, with plans to do the same or worse in other states, I cannot remain silent.
These laws have nothing to do with “saving babies” and everything to do with sacrificing women’s lives on the altar of political purity. They are cruel and unjust laws passed by uncaring legislators for the sole purpose of screaming “I’m 100% pro-life!” while standing on the bleeding bodies of women trying to end pregnancies they cannot or should not or do not want to complete, and the bodies of those injured or killed giving birth under impossible circumstances'".

I lost a very close person in 1957 because of anti-abortion laws and attitudes. She was raped by her mother's brother. When she told her mother about this, she was almost kicked out of the house. When she learned she was pregnant, she decided to abort. Her and a friend drove to Tijuana and got a backstreet abortion. She bled to death on the way home.
She was my dearest friend.
She was my cousin.
She was 15 years old.
To all those that support the anti-abortion movement:
Keep you self-righteous religious attitude out of women's bodies.
