Today I've been listening to the chatter about the murder of Dr. Tiller. I can't take it anymore.
Some 25 years ago, I had an abortion. I cried throughout the procedure. It was not what I ever imagined would happen in my life. But I made the choice, and I have not regretted it since, although I have lamented it. There is a difference.
I know 3 other wonderful women who have had abortions. No, let me rephrase that. I know 3 other wonderful women who have had abortions, but I probably know a lot more women who have had abortions, and never mentioned them. Just like me. No one knows. And I don't intend to publicly proclaim it now.
But I can't take it anymore. I've given money to Planned Parenthood before. But tomorrow I'm going to the local PP clinic, and I'm going to volunteer to do whatever they want me to do.
What's going on isn't right. It is terrorism, plain and simple.
We need to stand up, and while I'm too cowardly to talk about my situation, I will do whatever I can to make sure that abortions are safe, legal, and available to those who need it. I know I'm not doing enough, but I'm doing what I can.
