About Tara Wantz Expertise I can answer any general, nondiagnostic questions regarding abortion. I can also refer you to a number of good web sites for more information.
Experience As a teenaged mother my pro-life views are honest and out of experience. I am not a holy roller and do not see abortion as a strictly religious problem, so I can answer questions without implying religion, only reason.
Question 1. How old were you when you had your baby?
2. Why did you decide not to abort? Did abortion ever cross your mind as an option?
3. How did your parents, friends, and father of the baby affect your decision?
4. What about women who are raped, dont you think they should have a choice?
5.What's your opinion on sex education in public schools? Do you believe kids should be taught about sex in school?
Answer Santiago,
1. I was 17 when COnnor was born.
2. I have a certain respect for life that would make killing an innocent child a bit difficult for me, abortion never crossed my mind.
3. My parents, friends, and babie's father did nothing to affect my decision, there was no alternative as far as I was concerned.
4. Raped women, that's a loaded question. Should they be offered teh choice. . .absoluetly, there is little I would deny a woman in that position. However, the long-term psychological effects of abortion after rape should be fully explained to her before hand.
5. We need a better sex education program in the public schools. A little more education would have prevented my pregnancy, of that I am certain, and countless others.
