Facing Unthinkable Choices: A Personal Battle for Reproductive Rights

Facing the hardest decision of your life – one that no mother should ever have to make. This is what happened when doctors told me about my son's condition and the heartbreaking future he faced. In that moment, society seemed to turn its back on me too, adding to the pain. Now, I see politicians trying to take away choices like abortion and IVF, claiming it's to "protect life. " But really, they just want control over women's bodies. They don't care that these procedures save us from unnecessary suffering or let us have healthy families. It's unfair to expect women to carry pregnancies that threaten their health or wellbeing. When I was pregnant against my will, I needed a way out – a safe way. Abortion gave me that. And IVF lets me avoid passing on severe disorders to future children. Without these options, our futures and freedom are taken away. It's wrong for anyone to decide what we do with our bodies. Every woman deserves the right to make her own choices. This fight isn't about morals; it's about control. We must win this battle for women to be truly free and equal in our nation. I won't stay silent until every legislator hears my story.
