So...my mom and I talked about choice today. [View all]

My mom left the Catholic Church about the same time as I did because of their views on choice.Her best friend's mom died in the 40's from a self-induced abortion.She participated in many sit-ins in the 60s and 70s that were pro-choice.We talked about Perry pushing the "No Exception" rule in Texas.She got a little teary."I remember when we didn't have a choice...don't let it happen again".

I won't,mom.
