Answer:

My right to bare children, and or the right to choose to do so or not.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an easy one for me, as I have had 4 children. I honestly don't know who I would be, or what i would have become if I didn't have them. being their mother, completes my constitutional right for the pursuit of happiness.

As for my right to do to so, comes from my second child. I was inform at 28 weeks pregnant that my daughter had a chromosomal abnormality. they told me she was "not comparable with life." They told me, or I should say, they gave me the option to terminate her pregnancy.

now understand I fully believe in a womans right to choose, and therefore believe in abortion. But, my little angel was already a fighter/survivor, beating all odd to make it to 28 weeks.

Obviously, I choose to carry on the pregnancy and continue due to let HER decide if she wanted to live or die.

This freedom and legal right to choose was mine and mine alone.

To make a long story short, she was born at 36 week, (only 4 week premature,) and she survived birth. She continued to fight, and made it through open heart surgery, only to pass away at4 months old.

Yes, her death, and my loss was devastating, but I would make the same decisions today as I had made then. WHY? Because I could, and it was my legal right.

is that an okay answer??
