Pro-Choice: what being it actually means, by K E Garland
#ProChoice #Abortion #Women #EqualRights #Laws
When were you challenged to make a pivotal decision only you ought to have decided? In sharing her personal story, author/blogger K E Garland shows how being Pro-Choice isn’t about deciding to bear a child. It’s about whether you’d want others, namely your government, to decide for you. Got questions, thoughts, and/or experiences to share?
