So, you read the title and some part of you might have felt sick, especially if abortion is something you can't stand for. Well, bear with me because this is going to come in three parts. I'm just getting started. And I'll try to not shock anyone in the end.

To begin with, I know there are religious concerns about this, especially for the child that is growing inside, but there are grave and necessary exceptions. Here's the thing: I believe that if it is someone's body, it is their choice and none of my business.

And Planned Parenthood? Only three percent of what they do is abortions, safe abortions. The rest is safe, and life-saving examinations, tests, and so on for men and women. This organization is not a threat, they are doing so much good in a safe environment. In fact, they provide vital services others do not.

But how does this tie in? Keep reading, and you'll see.

Anyway, I have this view because I was put in a situation many years ago that could have gotten me pregnant and I was scared to death. I'll elaborate in later articles on this, I promise, but now you have my premise.

Thousands of women and men are abused, assaulted and raped, only to be shamed for something that is not their fault. Sometimes, unfortunately, women get pregnant. Had I gotten pregnant -- here's where you'll possibly get a little mad -- I would have gotten an abortion.

I was only fifteen and had abstinence-only based sex-ed, which is why I have so many issues with that. Did I know only one drop of cum, or even pre-cum, could get me pregnant? No.

Abortion is not evil. It can give survivors solace that they will not have a physical reminder from inside them that they were in that situation.

It's not selfish to want your life back, or even a tiny piece of it, after something traumatic. Until you go through it, you'll never completely know what that's like.

Abortion is one of the many tools for people to build their life again. Some people don't get them, and that is their choice. See the theme here? Choice. But do not hate on those who get abortions because of a dire situation. If you could see inside their head, maybe you could understand why. This is never easy.
