I cheer you for the choice you made and for the fortunate results of your choice. Somehow, you and your partner had what it took: good physical health, good mental health, the beginnings of an education you could build on, a committed relationship capable of growing into a marriage, perhaps even supportive family members. Not every young or older woman (or girl) has all or even one of those resources, and for some of these individuals, the correct (not easy, but ethical) choice might be to terminate the pregnancy. Once again, I appreciate your story. It might be inspirational for a young couple of similar means, but your circumstances were far removed from those of many seeking to end a pregnancy. I am deeply offended that powerful men on the Supreme Court have chosen to misuse the sanctity of that power. I read every word of Alito's ruling. I'm not a lawyer so some aspects were beyond me, but I am an intelligent, educated, ethical person, and I recognize high-sounding rubbish when I read it. He inserted far too much of that in his opinion.
Thank you for the role you're playing in our democracy.
