I have witnessed first hand the horrors of a unwanted pregnency ,. and my heart goes out to the familys who's daughters have died as a result of back ally abortion. I lived in a time when the world was changing and young people dared to question The rules by which we lived.. And because of that time period ( The late 60s) The changes in America today is a direct rusult of of everything that was started then , I am proud to say that i lived in that time peroid , and it truly was the most inportant part of my life. Back in the day the rule's were different for women then men. Women were raised from birth to marry and have children and to be the care taker. As little girls we got our dolls and learned parrenting skills .... We got nice big doll houses so we could learn early on how to care and decorate our future home..and if we were really good we got the ''Suzie Bake Oven'! now we could learn to cook too !!! Boys were taught to go to school and get a good education because one day they would have to support the wife and children. that was that....... If the wife was beaten by her husbent that was ok. the law did nothing. If the man had a mistress that was ok too, ( a man thing) ..... Men went and did what ever they damed felt like and the woman stayed at home and tended home and children and turned a blind eye because there was nothing she could do. Even when it came time to vote in our Elections .. a right we women once didnt have . We were told how and who to vote for by our hubby. I seen this growing up in my own home with my parents. and that was very natural, no one ever questioned anything... It just was! then the changes started to come ... and when Roe v Wade won in the courts it was a day in history that will live in my heart forever.... Jane Roe not only gave women the right to choose... but the right Peroid... That i do belive is when women all over realized that they do have a say..... and its more than abortion.... Its about them who we are .. and it gave us power for the first time.... Women left long term bad marrages..... and ..wanted to get a Edication and to go out in to this wonderfull new world.... and a wonderfull new world iit was,,and still is.. There was a saying on tv back then ' youve come a long way baby" and it showed a women smoking in public. Well yes we have come a long long way for the first time in history there is a WOMAN in the Sennet as speekler of the house .. Go Nancy ! and in the next Presidentl election we will be having a Women running. Hillery there was a time when this was inconcivable..... All these changes are a direct result of Roe V Wade... Women realized then that we had CHOICES... choices to to with our lives as WE wanted. And once the chane's were brokenI dont beleve anyone thought that women would come out with the power , Knowlage... Demands..... ( of respect...) and would go this far... Insecure Men do not like this...... And it is those very people who want to reverse Row V Wade .... Because this whole idea that they do not have a say in our Choices is something that they can not handle.... And these people are still Bush lovers and still support the war If thats not MERDER of our people nothing is.. So maybe the old way wasent all that wronge. Parents preparing us for our future. They just didnt know the house we wanted to be in charge of was THE WHITE HOUSE !!!!! Good thinking miss Becky.....Keep on thinking...... Dont Ever STOP.... Your Choices are your's alone ....and if it feel's right to you,, THEN IT IS !!! With all my love Johanna Siz I am a 59 year woman who lived in a time where there was no Choice.

Obviously, there are exceptions when a woman's life is in danger, but in other case if she carried the fetus to that point, she needs to take some responsibility deliver the baby and put it up for adoption. The kid deserves a chance.
