It’s My Damn Choice, Deal with It
Just for the record, no I am not planning, thinking or even considering this, but it still offends me.
Jesse and I just got back from the doctor and we found out that I am 8 weeks and 3 days along (due date of March 10th). We go to Meijers to scan the ultrasound picture and on our way home what do we see…..PRO LIFE ADVOCATES. Okay, I have nothing against people stating their opinions, but I do have a major problem when they are using blatant falsities and trapping me into witnessing them. Driving down 44th street, there are a ton of signs depicting an aborted child of “8 weeks” looking like a war victim. I’m sorry, I just got a picture of my 8 week old child and it looks nothing like that. And no, they weren’t saying these were 8 week delivered babies; they were 8 week aborted babies. It honestly offended me to be trapped into seeing these pictures knowing that that isn’t what an 8 week old fetus looks like. Not only that, but they were holding up traffic DURING RUSH HOUR on a busy street trying to get people to sign their petition. I’m sorry, no I’m not going to sign your damn petition because it isn’t your choice what I do with my body. It’s my body, it effects my life, not yours. I will do with my damn body and anything in it that I will damn well please to. And I will not wait in my car during a green light while you get other people to sign your petition. You are not only entrapping me into your beliefs, but I will not allow some middle aged men who don’t know what it feels like to give birth, to bear a child for 9 months to tell me what to do with my body. Do they know who I am, do they know what I’m going through. No. Do they care. No. All they see is an individual who wants/has gotten an abortion and that is all they want to see.
So until the day that MAN aka (the idiots making laws who have Y chromosomes) can carry a child full term (40+ weeks), go through labor and raise it, I don’t want to hear anything from them. If you can’t experience pregnancy, than by what right do you have to make decisions concerning it?
I am a stay at home mom with my first child, sometimes wondering what I have gotten myself into. I have an amazingly supportive husband, who is also a computer geek with a slight anti-social complex.

uh, I didn’t see ANY men holing signs- there may have been one or two, but almost all were women.

There were men on the other side, plus there was one driving the truck we first saw. Plus, a lot of the lawmakers are men.
