I saw an ultrasound where the baby appeared that she was aware of being observed and was waving to us, I had to question the entire premise of abortion...
Here is my story.
Febuary,1970.Just graduated from college and was working at a tax preparation service to earn money to travel around the country that summer.I had the usual California liberal position that its"the woman's right to choose" without really thinking of the implications of that statement.
Anyway,one day I walk into the breakroom and this kid about my age was crying and screaming,"she killed my baby,she killed my baby"over and over again.I consoled him and asked him what had happened.He said his girlfriend went and had an abortion without even consulting HIM.He just kept moaning and crying and his pain was so very intense that it shook me up badly.
That incident really made me question my previous cavalier attitude toward abortion.I had to do a lot of reappraisal.Though I never had any kids of my own,from then on I saw little babies and would grimace at the very though anyone might rip them from their mother's womb.
