I Knew It Was a Life

Creator of “The Abortion Diaries” and pro-choice activist Penny Lane is quoted saying, in an article in Salon Magazine:

“Most of the abortions in America are about convenience. People need to accept abortion for what it is: a valid part of the reproductive spectrum. I want it to be seen as normal; if 1.3 million women in this country have one every year, it’s gotta be normal.”

But later in the same article she says:

“I remember feeling conflicted about the magic of being pregnant. I felt electricity running through my body. Not for a minute did I not think of it as a life. I knew it was a baby.”
