I am pro-choice because there is no decision more profound than deciding to bring a child into this world.

I trust a woman to know when she is prepared to love, support and care for a child. I trust the more than 60% of women who have abortions who are already mothers and know well the all consuming love and responsibility involved.

I trust young women who know their life and their future has meaning beyond giving birth as a teenager. I trust these young women to know that one day they will make a fabulous, loving parent but not today.

I trust women whose birth control has failed to know they did not desire to be pregnant. I trust women who failed to use birth control to know that bringing a child into the world should never be punishment for a mistake.

I trust women who decide that they are ready to love, nurture and care for a child with all of their heart, energy and passion.

I trust women.
