It all started when I got pregnant in 2012. I already had a child; a two year old boy with special needs. He couldn’t walk, talk, or do really anything on his own. At this point we were still grieving the news about having a child with special needs and overwhelmed trying to figure out the best ways to support him. He never wanted to be put down and it was impossible to get chores done with him.

Today I took my two daughters to an abortion clinic to teach them about their reproductive rights. They are 5 and 8 years old. Maybe this seems a little strange, or possibly disturbing, but my eldest daughter is only a few years away from technically being able to conceive a baby in her young, barely-out-of-infancy body. I wanted to take them to an abortion clinic so that they would know their rights.

We've all been there: you're chatting with a colleague or friend about what you did on the weekend. You share that you attended an event and they ask what it was for.

It's the classic narrative of abortion advocates: abortion is a woman's right. Abortion has been defended by the modern feminist movement in the name of freedom, independence, and equality. Not only is this idea misleading, but it is the exact opposite of what feminism stands for.
