I have stayed very quiet during this entire campaign. My aim was to be respectful. Respectful to people I disagree with, respectful to people hurting, respectful to people in general being bashed and beaten with propaganda from both sides. That's not to say that if you posted you weren't respectful, I saw many people who campaigned with grace and dignity but I saw a lot of low blows and even now that the people have spoken, the mud slinging hasn't stopped. So I'd like to tell you why I voted the way I did, if you care to read it. I was born at 26 weeks, so my feelings on abortion as a contraceptive, esp at late term are not especially favourable. However that was never up for debate. We are offering women in crisis situations up to TWELVE weeks or late term in cases where there are fatal foetal abnormality, or a risk to the mother's life, the option to healthcare and support at home. We are making sure that women who are going through miscarriages, do not have to suffer over extended periods or knock on deaths door, and women do not have to lose their lives simply because they became pregnant. You are perfectly entitled to disagree with me. But I am happy with the result today. #TrustWomen #8thref #Repealedthe8th #Revolution #Reform #KnowYourRights #ThingsAreNotBlackAndWhite #TogetherForYes
