What Happens When There Is No Plan B?And she attempts to explain how it's Bush's fault that she made an informed, independent decision to kill her unborn child. She chose her actions. She is an adult. To our knowledge, there are no circumstances which hinder her ability to make decisions as an adult. After all, she points out herself that she is in her 40's- which is well beyond the age of reason, well beyond the legal age to be responsible for yourself.
The conservative politics of the Bush
administration forced me to have an abortion I didn't want. Well, not literally, but let me explain.
It's not Bush's fault, lady! He wasn't there. He did not tell you to have an abortion. He did not walk you in there and say you must do this. President Bush did not ruin your unborn child's life- you did. You decided you're too old to have a baby. You decided to control your family size selfishly. You. You. You. Notice anything here? It's all about "you". (so much for God in control).
Don't blame Bush for your decision. If you had such trouble getting the prescription for Plan B, wouldn't you take that as a sign that maybe it wasn't meant to be? Maybe nature knew better and you were meant to have that baby? Maybe that baby had a purpose for this world? And a purpose in your family? In your heart? All President Bush is trying to do is welcome that baby; allow that baby a chance to live and fulfill his or her purpose. And maybe that purpose being fulfilled would've made sense to you, and even made you happier. Instead you have this horror story to share.

I am still shocked she actually published this and after reading it, STILL blames Bush. I feel very sorry for her family, especiallher her living children. What will they think when they read Mommy killed their sibling?
It just simply shocks my conscience. When I read it awhile ago I couldn't read beyond the first page it truly made me ill as a human being.
"shocks my conscience"
What a great way to put it, Renee.
I'm glad I didn't discover this story until recently. I think earlier I may have been too sensitive as we're still grieving from our miscarriage.
But even w/o a loss of our own baby, it's still hard to read and believe. This woman needs many prayers.
