It may be controversial but I believe women have the right to chose what happens within their bodies. Of course adoption would be a much better option, but that is not for me to decide. A few weeks after my baby died, a cousin posted about needing to have an abortion because she couldn't feed two kids as she is already struggling with one. I expected to feel repulsed and outraged. Here I was unable to have a healthy living child, and she was throwing one away. But I didn't feel that way. I still believe I am not the one to decide what happens to another's life. I wondered if her baby would join my baby in heaven, but that was about it. I have always believed that abortion is the lesser evil to child abuse. unwanted children are often neglected and abused. As I child protection social worker I constantly see the horrible things that happen to children.
