I'm here, in a weird sort of way, because of abortion; ironic, isn't it? My mother had an abortion before she met my father, and when she became pregnant with my brother, kept him because she didn't want to have another one. I seriously doubt that if my mother hadn't become pregnant that she'd ever have married my dad...they had a shotgun marriage.
Am I upset over my aborted "sibling"? Of course not. My mom made a choice, and I might not be here if she hadn't made that choice. I am pro choice though and that affects my view on the matter.
