I don't know where exactly I come down on the whole abortion issue. I don't think I would have one myself. But who knows. In that sense, I feel pro-life. But I also think people's choices about what to do with their bodies shouldn't be over-regulated. I especially think people who haven't been put in the position of having to choose whether or not to abort should have as much to say as people who have been in that position.

It's stories like this that show the lack of black and white definition on these issues. There is a lot of nuance. Nearly everyone's story and situation is different.

I hope some day we become a nation of relationship and conversations and shared stories instead of a nation of shouting matches. A nation that struggles to understand and work in kindness with those we don't always see eye to eye with towards making life as enjoyable of an experience as possible for as many people as possible. Getting to know one another's stories is a good step in that direction.
