This week's cover of InTouch Weekly is FABULOUS.

An excerpt from the article:

Though raising an infant has been challenging, Bristol has the unconditional love and support of her family — especially her mother, Sarah Palin. After all, no one can better understand the complicated decision to have a baby under difficult circumstances. Just a year earlier, at the age of 44, Sarah carried her son Trig to term, even though she was told during a sonogram that he would be born with Down syndrome. Now, the mother and daughter are sharing a unique experience— raising baby boys together under the same roof.

Uh, I HAD a baby at a young age, and the only people who responded positively were those who were - guess what? Pro-life. I can't count a single person who supports abortion or the "right" for a woman to have an abortion who responded positively to my pregnancy and my decision to have, keep, and raise my child.

So, speaking from experience as well as a few years of volunteering with crisis pregnancy work as well as being a mentor for young(er) mothers, as well as being a hardcore liberal until the experience of motherhood, when I finally grew up and got a little less selfish and a little more mature - that's why I say what I say, and if you want to disagree with me...

You want to talk about rights? Respect my RIGHT to an OPINION. I'm not forcing my opinion on you right now, so can it.

The comments are automatically screened so they don't appear on the thread without being un-screened. So I'm guessing it probably wa my comment you responded to.

Well that's unfortunate that none of the pro-choice people you know responded positively. The only thing I can really compare it to it my own experience's. I come from a somewhat stereotypical Hispanic family and most of the women in the family had their first child at young ages, and the great majority have thankfully gotten as much as support as was needed to help them. We have also possibly had relatives who have had abortions.

The vast majority of women in my family are also pro-choice. All of them have not regretted having their children, and they also don't consider it their place to tell all women what to do in their own situation.

If it was my post you were responding to, how did I disrespect your right to an opinion? I was merely asking you a question. As someone who is pro-choice I support women making the choice that is right for them, and only have a problem when people want to take that choice away.
