As a woman, I seem to be continually hearing that I need to make my voice heard in regard to abortion. So here it is.If it wasn’t for my mom deciding against abortion, I wouldn’t have written this. My mom was a junior in college when she got pregnant out of wedlock. Her family was very conservative, and she attended a Christian college. Mom could have aborted me and moved on with her life. Instead, she chose to keep me. She dropped out of college and got a full-time job. My great-grandparents looked after me while she worked. I asked Mom once why she didn’t choose abortion. She told me that she hadn’t had to think about it much; life is sacred even if it’s unexpected. Because of that, my voice will be raised in a resounding “no.” No to abortion, no to running from the consequences of sex, no to ending a life before it even draws a breath. Mom was scared of being a mother, but she accepted the responsibility of raising me.

I wanted to respond to the Alligator’s April 10 article on the abortion rights event at the Civic Center because on April 7, I hosted a campus event with UF’s Pro-Life Alliance in the Reitz Colonnade for Floridian women who regretted their abortion, an event called “Silent No More,” which WCJB TV-20 News featured on the 6 o’clock news. This event, juxtaposed with the women Saturday, significantly enlightens the personal repercussions of post-abortion.
