What's with all the talk about abortion

Why is everyone so concerned with what a woman wants to do with her body. Abortion should be a choice. Women should not have to be told what they should do with their bodies. When the government starts controlling our right to give birth and go through with the 18 years of hard labor and hard work to care for a child, what will they start to controll next. Is it right that the government allows women to use birth control.
I recently had an abortion. No it wasn't because I was a party animal and I got drunk, or some one night stand. No I was raped. Yes raped. I ended up pregneat. I chose to go through with the abortion because I knew in my mind that I couldn't care for a child that was conceived out of hate and not love. I didn't want to be reminded everyday of that terrible night, When a man a grown man decided that he wanted to take advantage of an 80 pound 17 year old.
So ladies tell me does the government have the right to controll your body?
Those who say that abortion should be illegal have you ever had to carry a child. Have you ever had to wake up day after day throwing up everything you eat. Have you every had every single part of your body be in pain. Have you ever had to experience going through an emotional rollercoster. Have you ever experienced these feelings at all???

And I am so glad you did what you needed to do to take care of yourself in such a horrible situation.

I hope you are getting some counseling to deal with the terrible violation you've suffered. No one should have to endure what you've been through.

Thank you for your post. Don't you dare listen to anyone who tells you that you were wrong, that you were selfish, that you should have carried that baby to term and given it up for adoption. They have no idea what you've been through and for them to tell you what you should have done in that situation based on their personal moral preferences and not their experiences, is WRONG. You fight for yourself and every other woman like you.
