The anti-choice crowd needs to get out of my uterus.

I’m tired, you guys. I’m tired of people trying to control my body. This is my body, not anyone else’s business. I should be able to decide if I want an abortion to stop the growth of a parasite inside of me, or to decide if I should carry a pregnancy to term and risk my health and possibly my life. I should not be forced to continue a pregnancy that puts my life at risk. I should not be forced to do anything to my body. This is my life, my body, my decision. <br><br>I have been beaten, raped, and a victim of incest. I do not owe it to anyone to explain what I did or did not do to protect myself from harm. I have been pregnant before, and I have had an abortion. I have had a miscarriage too, but I also have had an abortion. I had an abortion because I did not want to have to carry a pregnancy to term. The fact that I was a victim of rape and incest is not anyone else’s business, and frankly, it’s no one else’s business. I will not be judged or shamed. I stand with choice, because it’s my choice to decide what to do with my own body. <br><br>I have loved and I have lost, and I have done it all on my terms. I have been in love and I have been pregnant by the man I love. I have also been in love and gotten pregnant from rape, and I have had an abortion to the child conceived out of rape. It was my choice to make, to decide what I wanted to do with my body. I resent people who feel that even if a pregnancy is the result of rape or incest, I should still have to carry it to term. It is my choice to make. <br><br>I stand with choice because I believe that the government has no business controlling the sex lives of consenting adults. I believe that all adults should have the right to decide whether or not they want to have an abortion. I resent the government and anyone else who feels they have a right to control my body. It is my choice to decide whether or not I should get an abortion. I have no business deciding the fate of anyone else’s body. I have a right to make decisions about my body, not anyone else’s. <br><br>My body, my choice.
