Rachel Maddow on access to abortion

Many years ago, I taught a girl in ninth grade.  She was happy and made good gains in school.  Summer came and went.  In the fall as a 10th grader, she always wore a dirty, ragged coat.  She was not happy anymore and her grades went down.  It took a lot of coaxing to get her to do her work.  After  a few months and the coat getting tighter and tighter, she finally talked to the school counselor.  She was pregnant.  SHE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN OUT OF THE HOME.  Her father had an illegal bar and gambling hall at his house.  During the summer.  This little girl was the winning prize for Poker.  She was awaken to have sex with an unknown person.  People were arrested and got prison time, including her father.

This little girl got an abortion.  What happened to her was not a Gift From God and I believe Abortion should be legally available and a decision for a woman and her Doctor.
