I am not insensitive to those who believe that life begins at conception. I don’t, but I think we all have the right to our own beliefs. But, for me, and women in the position I was in, the life that is important is the one that is truly just taking off—that fledgling adult woman getting ready to fly. We need to worry about those who are alive: little children with parents who don’t want them, teenage girls who made a mistake they (and their child) will live with the rest of their lives, women who are raped. These are real lives.
