Let’s talk about sex…especially after the recent upheaval of Roe V. Wade. I grew up in Florida in the 70’s. My daughter was born 1972 when abortions were not legal here. My mother was a staunch Catholic and I was only 17. She offered the solution of staying with family in New York where abortions were legal, but that option was still distasteful to Mom, maybe give birth and give up for adoption? In the end I chose to marry the father and have my baby after all. Life was not easy and the marriage was over within two years. Babies having babies. My career and school options were left behind as I had an important job to do now…raising my daughter. My mother was very hands on and helpful..something very necessary for a young mother to make it through. Lots of bumps and difficulties ensued and today she is a beautiful vibrant and intelligent 50 year old woman. 50 years later legal abortions nationwide are now NOT legal. The Supreme Court ruling changed the world once again for the better or worse..depends on how you feel about it. Sex….be careful!
Hard decisions often have blessings rather then consequences. It was one of the joys of my life to briefly help raise that cherub faced little girl with a smile that would melt away all the toils of the day. Mom’s choice to raise this little princess was a hard one that came with sacrifices made well into adulthood. We all carry Life’s decisions forever…choose wisely.
