Christine, thank you for sharing your experience of motherhood so openly. Your writing gave me an understanding of the overwhelming effects of pregnancy and motherhood on body, mind and life that no one who has never born a child can ever know except through the kind of candid and difficult sharing you gave us in your article. Non-pregnant partners can certainly feel the weight of parental responsibility, but clearly that is not the same as going through all the unfamiliar changes in one’s physical and emotional being that you describe so well. Thank you for that gift.

"I believe coercion leads to suffering, that dangerous things happen when people feel trapped, that abortion is healthcare, and that every child deserves to exist because someone wanted them to." Brava! YES.
