I am not pro-abortion but I am definitely pro-choice.

Actually, I am very pro-abortion if that is the woman's decision. Every woman deserves the right to choose. All the time. No matter what. First, they outlaw abortion rights. Then they restrict and outlaw birth control. Then we have lost everything our sisters worked so hard for and we are in the 1700's. I'm not going there. No way.

Sucker and a loser who supported and defended for decades. I’m for women deciding their health care decisions without fascist religious monster control freaks deciding what’s best for any woman. None of their fucking business. And they don’t care about the 15 year old homeless rape victim except she’d make a great pro life commercial. I’ve watched over the decades. Monsters gravitate to the grand old party. To do the bidding of billionaires.

I am not one of those people.

In early 1974 my wife, then unmarried, found out that she was pregnant (not by me; I didn’t know her then). Roe v. Wade had been decided a year earlier, and abortion was legal. Most people urged her to have an abortion; her father was particularly adamant.

It was her choice, and after much thought, she made it. Her choice is named Jennifer. She was born a month early, after a difficult pregnancy, and entered the world at 3 1/2 pounds. I married Jennifer’s mother in 1979, and adopted her in 1989.

It was her mother’s choice. She could have chosen differently. She didn’t — but it was her choice.
