Linda's Story

I can only hope you will actually allow an opposing view on your site. When a feminist wants equality that is good, when that desire is at the life of someone else it is not.

I had an abortion at the age of 18. I was between 11-12 weeks from lmp. I was not informed of any risks nor of the procedure. And there were no PRO-LIFE people there. I was not treated with kindness nor was I treated as if this was a good thing. In fact I was treated like an animal being sterilized.

Let's be honest. Abortion is a money-making business that has little or nothing to do with equality. I have personally met many women who have suffered from the effects of abortion. Is my life any better because of the abortion, I don't think so.

"It always amazes me when antiabortion people who have had abortions want to stop someone else from exercising their freedom to choose."
