I made an appointment to go to Planned Parenthood to schedule an abortion. I was outside the door of the PP office when I made the decision not to go through with the appointment. Like you my family especially my beautiful 35 year old daughter is the most important thing to me.<BR/>The key words in the paragraph are “I made the decision”. It should be a woman’s decision to have an abortion or not. Not the governments. This is something I feel very passionate about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-36209352803070023532008-10-17T09:40:00.000-05:002008-10-17T09:40:00.000-05:00Babs you will get no argument from me - I wrote:Go...Babs you will get no argument from me - I wrote:<BR/><BR/><I>Government needs to butt out of people's personal lives.</I><BR/><BR/>And I believe it.

We know NOW that they have a genetic disorder called Fragile X syndrome which means they were born without the X chromosome. There IS genetic testing available now to prevent births of children with many genetic disorders such as neurofibromatosis and Fragile X. I don't pretend to know how I would respond to that situation but I do think everyone should have the personal choice as it relates to their beliefs and circumstances.Babshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16609157345912932083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34246214.post-25818894772475564942008-10-17T06:37:00.000-05:002008-10-17T06:37:00.000-05:00Government needs to butt out of people's personal ...Government needs to butt out of people's personal lives.
