'I am grief-stricken,' writes Thurman, 'That the law pits citizen against citizen, creating new vigilantes who will prey on these disadvantaged women' (via toofab)
"We decided as a family that I couldn’t go through with the pregnancy, and agreed that termination was the right choice," she revealed."My heart was broken nonetheless."
Thurman then offered her current perspective on that choice all these years later, now as a mother of three."The abortion I had as a teenager was the hardest decision of my life, one that caused me anguish then and that saddens me even now, but it was the path to the life full of joy and love that I have experienced," she explained.
"Choosing not to keep that early pregnancy allowed me to grow up and become the mother I wanted and needed to be." She said she was sharing her own story"in the hope of drawing the flames of controversy away from the vulnerable women on whom this law will have an immediate effect." Speaking about that new law, that's already survived one Supreme Court challenge before it was enacted September 1, Thurman wrote,"I have followed the course of Texas’s radical antiabortion law with great sadness, and something akin to horror. Now, in the hope of drawing the flames of controversy away from the vulnerable women on whom this law will have an immediate effect, I am sharing my own experience.
