Pro-Choice

My heart breaks for you and your daughter, this is a difficult time you both are going through.

Pro-choice does not mean this is an easy decision or the only option ever considered.

Pro-choice, however, does means that neither I nor anyone else has the right to stick my nose into you or your daughter's business and make this decision for her based on prejudice, beliefs, or assumptions that are not part of her world or life. Pro-choice means your daughter makes the best decision for herself and she is very lucky to have a supportive mother, who may or may not agree with the decision but is still able to love and respect that decision.

When I made that decision 15 years ago, I didn't tell anyone because I knew there would not be any support from anyone in my life. It didn't change my mind - it was the right decision then and I will always look back without regret, but some support would have been helpful.

She's very lucky to have you in her life.
