2. Hi, I am 48 and I am pro-choice!

Feb 2012

We had our first child almost 3 years ago. I was an birth control until I met my husband and we decided that it was the right time. I am on birth control now, since we decided to have one child only.

That is the great thing about choice. Nobody is going to tell me if and when to have children and how many. It is MY choice. We have one beautiful son, and that is actually more than I ever expected. My husband left it up to me about having children and how many.

I am seriously pissed off about the whole birth control issue. You have the right to believe in whatever you want to ... you DON'T have the right to force your religious believes on me.

It is 2012 and we are talking about contraception??? Really??? WTF???
