In the spring of 1990, I had an induced abortion and terminated my pregnancy for reasons that some would argue amounted to "convenience". Then, because I was no longer pregnant, in the summer of 1990, only two months later, I was able to conceive again. It was an unintended pregnancy, but this time, it was a healthy and wanted one. My life has been irreversibly affected because I had an abortion. Abortion has long-term emotional effects. Abortion has long-term physical effects. An abortion can have huge repercussions in a woman's life. These particular effects are now well over 6 feet tall, and have brought me nearly two decades of joy. Will you tell them they shouldn't be here, and that the life of a defective fetus is worth more? Thank you, abortion doctor!  KEEP ABORTION RIGHTS FOR WOMEN SAFE AND LEGAL.
