Women’s rights still forgotten in abortion debate

Before adding my tuppence ha’penny worth to the abortion debate, let me state at the outset — I am pro choice.

This means I believe that I, as a woman, have a fundamental, inalienable right to control over my own body. This includes the right to choose to have an abortion. Or not.

As a mother of three children, I chose not. There was no agonising involved. I wasn’t raped. I wasn’t a victim of incest. Thankfully, no fatal foetal abnormalities were flagged during pregnancy.
