Amber, from Breathless Noon, has posted a telling story of her recent abortion. I link back to her post out of a deep respect for the fact that she has spoken about it. It is an experience that is silenced by the roaming discourses of the pro-life lobby. I invite you to read this post not with your opinions on abortion, but with curiosity.

From her post:

The pro-life faction has such pretty rhetoric, such an idyllic, pastoral understanding of the nature of life and living. But truly, it isn’t as simple as “choosing life”. It’s a question of navigating a vast web of interconnected outcomes, and figuring out which path is the path we want to travel. Neither having an abortion nor having a child is without its consequences.
