I would, in some situations, have an abortion. The circumstances under which I would make this choice are nobody's business but mine and those I choose to tell. They are not the business of any government. I do not accept the proposition that the state, my relatives or my peers should have any say over when and if I choose to bear a child. I will consult the baby's father, but he will not have the final say. I do not accept any sovereignty over my body and my reproductive organs but my own. If faced with the situation, I will do everything feasible to help other women and girls I know exercise their rights to safely terminate a pregnancy if they so choose. When a state treats women and girls as chattel, it is they that commit a crime.
