You'll never stop women from thinking for themselves
 

Please stop using politics to control women, ruin their lives or force them into having unwanted children or unsafe abortions.  I have lived over 50 years of my life seeing the ramifications of my oldest sister having 2 unwanted children, and it has been nothing but ugly.  Women who are forced into having unwanted children do NOT turn into loving mothers who care for their children!!  Ever seen a todler with cigarette burns or belt welts on their backs?  Ever seen a Mother scream at her children that she hates them and they ruined her life?  Ever hear a woman laugh about telling her kids that she would kill herself if she was stuck with them for the rest of her life?  Anyone who thinks that denying a woman the ability to chose her future will make a happy family has not endured what my family has gone through since the 1950s.  Please keep choice/abortion available and legal in Virginia.  You can do everything you can to try to control women's bodies and future, but you'll never control their minds.  You can force a woman to have an unwanted child, but you can't force her to love or care for it.
