5. woman carries her child to term and expresses a fucking obvious truth that anti-choicers can't understand: "It was back then that he was not wanted, not now." newsflash: it is possible to choose abortion and still be a caring, loving individual.
in other words, every child a wanted child, motherfuckers.
