As a guy , it just hit me.

I know a woman in her 30s: she’s married, she has a toddler, and she desperately wants a second child – but a dangerous medical condition means that having another baby would be life-threatening. Despite being careful, she got pregnant. She had an abortion because she wasn���t willing to risk her life and leave her child motherless, but she still feels a deep sadness. I know another woman, in her 20s, who had a shitty boyfriend (but no kids) when her birth control failed and she found herself with a pregnancy she knew she didn’t want – a pregnancy she wasn’t ready for. She was upset about the situation, but had no doubts about what she wanted to do and, after the abortion, no regrets. She rarely thinks about the pregnancy or the abortion anymore. If you’re like a lot of people, you probably have much more sympathy for the first woman than the second. Though the majority of people in America and Northern Ireland and so many other places believe abortion should be legal, too many of us still think about reproductive rights as if there’s a hierarchy of good and bad abortions – the kind that women “deserve”, and the kind women should be ashamed of. But those two women? They’re both me.

Nothing will ruin your 20’s more than thinking you should have your life together already.

kind of old, but can we get this out there and keep this conversation going? all women deserve to feel safe, to be able to speak up when they don't, and to not be dismissed by loved ones for feeling this way.
