First of all, let me start with saying I completely respect your opinion. I think we as women should stand together and support each other instead of dragging each other down. That seems to be quite an issue in the female community. I also believe that Planned Parenthood should still receive funding because it is an integral part in the female community for us to get easy access to the health care that we both desire and require.

Honestly, something about your article just didn't sit with me and I just wanted to give you a different perspective. You may not be demonizing these women that feel this way but you are readily going against them because their opinions differ from yours and that's not fair. You have no idea what they have been through to make them feel this way nor do they know your life. Personally, I believe we should all let people live how they chose to because it is absolutely none of our business and no one should make assumptions about others.

However, I'm going to get personal with you here because I can relate to this. I'm going to openly share with you and everyone who reads this article things that I have not previously shared and these things haunt me daily. See, I did get an abortion. Two, in fact. I chose my right as a women to do what I wanted with my body. I have friends that have gotten abortions and I have even gone with them so that they were not alone.

Despite this, I have a son. Last year I got pregnant with a guy who I wasn't dating, who turned out to be the best boyfriend and father a woman could ask for, and decided this time I wasn't going to get an abortion. At 5 and 1/2 weeks I got an ultrasound because I was worried and they were able to find a heartbeat. At eight weeks, my boyfriend and I went to our big ultrasound and got pictures of him as well as heard his heartbeat loud and clear. At 12 weeks, I found out I was having a little boy. Now, don't think I'm expressing this to make anyone feel guilty, I just want to give some background information. Not to mention, my abortions were long ago but both occurred after 6 weeks.

I would never condemn another women for getting an abortion. Everyone has a different stance on this subject. Sadly, one of my close friends was afraid to tell me she got one while I was pregnant as if I was going to judge her. Absolutely not. However, my choices for abortion haunt me everyday. I look at my son and think about the children I did not keep. I look at my two nieces and my nephew and think of how I should have three children now. I'm consumed with these thoughts and sometimes get depressed because my thoughts get dark due to this.

Do I regret my two prior abortions? Yes and no. I know that the men I was with then were not good for me. I know that I was not ready for a child. However, with second one, I had choices but because I loved the man so much he talked me out of keeping the baby. He had no problem letting me go alone and bawling my eyes out on the phone to my mother afterwards about how I shouldn't have gone through with it. To this day, I still think I shouldn't have, but there is nothing I can do to change that and I made my choices.

There are women who will read this and think I'm a selfish person. There are those that will think I'm brave. I guess it's a little bit of both to me, but I promised myself from there on out I would never do it again, no matter what. To be honest, I'm so happy I didn't because I wouldn't have my precious son now. Hey, who knows, if I didn't get the first two I may never have had my sweet little man.

So yes I am Pro- Choice, but I would never get one (again). Yes I am Pro-Choice, but I think there should be exceptions to the rules. I do understand abortion because of incest, medical reasons, and rape. However, abortion is not a birth control method, in my opinion. Abortion should have a limit to when you can get one despite special circumstances. Abortion is each individual women's choice and her opinion on it is her own. We have no right to judge and should stand behind our fellow women.
