That's right guys. I'm an unrepentant feminist.
I have been very quiet for the last few days trying to pick the right words for how I feel about all of the bullshit said about rape by Todd Akin this week, I should include this little nugget from Paul Ryan. What the hell? These men actually believe these things? *dies a little inside*
This whole thing is about abortion. I have my feelings about abortion, I'm for it, in any case. I'm so sick to death of the Right trying to control women. If you don't like abortion don't have one. It's really that simple. I personally could really care less if you've had one or not, I will instead judge you by how you treat puppies.
Some of you who have followed me on Twitter for awhile know that last January I came out about my abortion. I am not sorry I had one. It was the best decision I ever made. If I had to make the decision again at that time the result would be the same. My parents left that decision up to me, they didn't try to sway me, my boyfriend even left me alone to make that decision. Abortion is not easy. Women who have them agonize over it. It's not a fun thing to do. Dammit. I'm tired of people thinking it's the easy way out. It's not easy. It's hard. Abortion is a life choice. A choice that no one except a woman who may need one can make. Leave abortion alone.
