I was thinking back to what Mark asked the class during one of our class lecture, the question was if we have ever had a "light bulb" moment; a moment of truth. While doing the activist project on abortion I was faced with my "light bulb" moment.
I asked myself what would happen if I was to get pregnant at this point in my life, how would the reality and decision effect me? I really don't know how to answer such a complex but simple question, maybe it's because it has never happen to me so I do not know how i would react to the situation. Thinking about getting pregnant is so surreal for me, I do not know whether our not I could force myself to get an abortion because I could not possibly think of murdering my own child. Or am I thinking to much?
The idea of pregnancy and abortion forces me to think about my action as a mature adult, what I do today can affect the outcome of my entire future. I need to stop and think: is enjoying the moment worth sacrificing the future?
