Ridiculous Personhood Bill
 

As a person who was raped and then consequently got pregnant (this was also when i lost my virginity mind you so this is a very sensitive subject to me) when i was 18 i think it is outrageous to take away the right for a woman to choose. luckily i come from a good family that helped pay for an abortion so i didn't have to carry my rapist's baby. a fertilized egg is NOT a person. it's barely even human. i understand where you are coming from with this bill because you think that some women might use this as a sort of birth control. i can assure, as someone who has been through the proceedure that an abortion is NOT pleasent and not something i'd want to do ever again, but i NEVER EVER regret that i made that choice. do you want woman to just have babies that they don't want? that costs way more money for the state to take care of then an abortion and the rights to use birth control, since i hear that is something else you want to regulate. PLEASE really think about this before you go and vote (considering most of you are men and have no idea whatsoever it feels like to be a woman and to deal with these things).
