“When I was pregnant, patients often asked me if it was hard/weird to do their abortion.

My response was simple, ‘Not at all. It is not the right time for you, but it is for me. Later on, if you decide to become a parent, I will be by your side then too.’”

Bless her.

this is what pro choice is about. you’re pregnant and want to keep or carry to term for someone else? cool beans. that’s up to you. pregnant but don’t want to be, even for someone else? cool beans. still up to you and no one else

I dont think I ever wrote about this.  

When I took Chloe in for her physical the doctor had her get down to her underwear and the doctor checked her out and then said “I am just going to take a quick peek in your underwear to make sure everything is okay down there” and Chloe said “momma you said no one can look at my privates unless I tell them its okay and I dont ant her to look at them because I dont know her very well.”  I told her that it was her choice to have the doctor look or not but that I was right here and I would be sure the doctor did not do anything that was not okay, but if Chloe did not want her to look she didnt have to let her.  She looked at the doctor and said very matter of factly “I dont want you looking in my underwear, there is nothing wrong with my private parts, and I dont know you very well”  The doctor looked at Chloe and told her that she had the right to say no and that she wouldn’t force her to let her look.  She asked her questions about it, like does it itch, does it hurt when you pee and Chloe answered them and then started getting dressed.  The doctor pulled me aside and told me that she was a sexual assualt survivor and that she is so proud of my daughter for telling her no, even though she was a person of authority.  

I have always and will always teach my children they control their body, even and especially when it comes to people of authority.  

I love this.
