22. You made my point
and, I have to say again...I'm thankful I have no daughters. Now more than ever.

I'll always be glad I can tell my children that none of them were mistakes. No one "made" me have them, I had a choice every time. And I choose them.

When they overturn legal abortion, and I think they will, all I can think is, none of those women (and girls) will be able to tell their children that.

What were you? You were a mistake kid, if I'd had my way, I'd have never had you. Kid. You were the worst thing that ever happened to me. Kid. You ruined my life, you miserable kid. No I didn't know your father and they never CAUGHT him, you bastard kid.

No, I wouldn't say that stuff. Most women wouldn't say that stuff. But a lot more of them will think that stuff, when they get their way. I never HAD to think that stuff.

I think if abortion were illegal, I might never have had kids at all. Why take the risk, why shell out your body like that, why ever risk pregnancy?? By choice? oh hell no way.

Sadly, I think it's the type of people pushing for it most that are the most likely to have family members hurt by it. Hurt by illegal abortion, coat hangers, and do I wonder if any men will feel badly when their daughters are mutilated, scared, left unable to have children, and some dead from it. Will they ever realize the senselessness of it, of trying to force women and girls to reproduce? I just can't feel sorry for them anymore. Just their poor daughters born into the slavery, male-dominated lives completed in adulthood by wallpaper, school activities and dinner on the table BY 6 and shut the hell UP about that womens lib crap...they're the one's I feel sorry for.

Preaching to the choir, I know, sorry.
