George,

I am a 25 year old woman, mother of an 8 year old son. I am a prime example of why abortion is so wrong. When I was 15 I became pregnant, and the first thing I thought that I wanted to do was have an abortion. Thank God, the father of my son which is now my wonderful husband, talked me out of it. We have raised a healthy, straight A student, who is the most precious thing on the earth. I just wonder how many more of him that there could have been, had they not been aborted.

The only thing that I have a problem with is the protesters displaying signs of the aborted children. I do not want my son to see that, nor do I want to see that. I do not think that it would have an effect on someone either way. If they choose to have an abortion, it is not the pictures that will change their mind, but hopefully people in office like George Bush who are pro-life. Shame on John Kerry and his political views and what he stands for.

What if it was one of his ugly daughters having an abortion, or if it was his daughter who was dumped in a river and his grandchild also killed, would he still have voted against the Laci Peterson law? I just hope that maybe one girl will do what I did, and raise a wonderful child as my husband and I did, or at the very least give the child up for adoption. I am an adopted child myself, and I can say first hand, my non-biological parents were the best parents in the world. And I thank my biological mother and father everyday for giving my life a chance.

Thank you.
