Roe v. Wade: how did this decision influence you personally?

[Warpy]

1. It allowed me to relax

I have rotten kidneys and a pregnancy would have burned them out completely. If I'd lived through years of dialysis, I'd be on my second or third transplant, with years of waiting on dialysis between them. Roe v. Wade made sure I'd stay alive even if the birth control failed.

It never did, thank goodness. I had many friends who had abortions and a few who wrestled with the decision and kept the pregnancy. In all cases, they made the right decisions for themselves, their health and their lives.

The ones who chose abortion all lived through it, something that didn't happen before Roe. I lost a friend to a back alley abortion and she died a very hard death.

That's what the whole thing is about, allowing women to live.

Antiabortion laws kill women. That's the bottom line and always will be.
