#TeachSwell | WALGREENS and CVS to start selling Abortion Pill Mifepristone! 😳
Because as a woman, we decide whether we want to have children or not. Yes, it takes two to tango, but it doesn't always take two to make a decision whether we want to keep the baby or not. And in some cases, a lot of women have decided they don't want to keep the baby. For whatever reason, they have determined they have chosen to get an abortion

You bring a 13 year old girl into a clinic for an abortion, there will be, rightfully so, an investigation, and there'll be an interview and things like that. If we're doing this all behind the counter, all from our own home, it leads to a lot of malpractice that we'll never be able to actually control. And you know what happens when people don't have oversight? They do. The worse

Abortion, amongst other things, of birth control, other methods, don't seem to be working. I can say that as someone who works for the government for the past 20 years, we provide services to our citizens, and there are many children who are being born and not being taken care of. They're being born and not being wanted. And so I feel like we need to look into this
You. This is attempt number seven. And I just get so flustered and I get so angry that they are trying to control what women do with their bodies. It has nothing to do with anyone but the woman who is making that choice, period. Just like every single thing you do, it's my choice. And if I want to pay for it, whether it's long term, short term, emotional, physical, that is a woman's choice

But I get what you're saying, that there are already kids that aren't cared for and then people are making more babies and then just deciding that they don't want to have any more babies. I don't know. I think it's still people's choice. I do. I think women should have the choice of having a baby or not. If I had to choose, I would have my baby. Have I had an abortion before? Yes, I have

So it is very important that we have a government that supports us. It supports our choices if we choose to go that route and then gives us safe options, because it is a delicate operation. It really is. And people say, okay, they do that every day. True enough, people have abortions every day. But every person is different. It's different how you're going to respond to it. It's different what your body is going to do when you have it

My point is that, to be honest, there's no reason to have any child that one doesn't want to have because we have so much available to us yet and still people are still having babies that they don't want and they don't care for. So I don't think the answer is that we need more birth control because clearly even more isn't working

This is harm to some things to some degree. So anyway, that's how I personally feel. But also, I feel like people should have a choice. But, yeah, if it's going to be I have to do this, then, yeah, that's a problem. That's a real problem, especially for doctors that don't believe that this is something that they should do. And then you're right
Because no matter what, she stopped me from basically telling her about what I was doing. She didn't stop it from happening. She did, because he left, but she didn't stop the next time because she just basically ensured that I would no longer come to her and talk to her about it. So that's what I mean about being a parent, to where you actually have discussions with your child and consider how they feel and what they want and then to tell them what the realities are

Thank you so much. Yes. I didn't think that you meant that if you parent them, they still aren't going to make their own decisions. I was just trying to interject what happened to me, but I do think that as parents, the children need to be able to come to us, period. I have two daughters s, and if they came to me and told me they were pregnant now, I would have to deal with it
I don't know if I told you this before or not, but when I was pregnant with my daughter, when I got pregnant with my daughter, I was in Columbus, Ohio, when I got pregnant. And I had applied to graduate school. And so when I found out I was pregnant, my first, I mean, I just decided, you know, I've already got accepted to my graduate program am, so I'm going to go

They make these very risky life decisions on sleeping with these random men and not using protection because they are on birth control or can no longer get pregnant or whatever the thing is. And they say, I just had one the other day post in our group chat of this social group I'm in and she talked about she met this man over the weekend and they had sex unprotected multiple times. And she posted in the group chat where can I quickly get plan B?

That's why I should have left before, but I left after with the clothes on my back because I just couldn't take anymore. But it devastated me. And I don't know how other people are going to feel about this. Some people are going to be very happy that they have the capability of going to the doctor and saying, you know, I don't want this baby, and then being prescribed something that basically does the work of an abortion clinic home alone. I don't know
