I first wrote and posted this piece in 2007. My feelings have not changed. I believe it bears repeating and more so this year after extensive political wrangling to get not just abortion, but most forms of contraception outlawed in this country. Of course the balance on the Supreme Court remains key to this issue. Which means the upcoming presidential election is vital as well.
Today is the 39th anniversary of the United States Supreme Court Decision known as Roe v. Wade.
In light of this anniversary I have a few wishes to state:
- I wish, that from this moment on, no woman would ever have to make the decision to have an abortion.
- I wish contraceptives, including the morning after pill, would always be readily available to all women.
- I wish that all young people would be taught age appropriate sex and health education.
- I wish that all young people would be taught that abstinence is a legitimate choice, at the same time they get clear information about all forms of contraception.
- And I wish that abortion would always be safe and legal and available to all women.

Lets hope someday it will be a wish come true. Maybe one day in a sane and caring world.
Once again, I wish all that along with you. Perhaps they should get a group of new, young moms to get on stage and tell school girls how much hard work being a mom really is. How you have to get up in the middle of the night to feed a screaming cholicy baby, who relies on you for everything 24/7 for the next 18+ years of it's life. It's not for the fainthearted.
Jake and I had the sex talk during the holidays. He's off girls and is NEVER getting married. Sex is the most disgusting thing he's ever heard of. hahaha... check back on those hormones in another 8 or 9 years...
