Jami Baayd writes that additional restrictions to abortion access makes women sacrifice more.
Rep. Kera Birkeland, R-Morgan, Feb. 24, 2021.As a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a mother and a women’s health researcher, I strongly oppose further restrictions to abortion access, such asGrowing up as a Latter-day Saint, I was taught profound respect for the sacrifice a woman makes to grow and birth a child. In a 2013 General Conference
Church authorities now, and throughout the church’s history, have acknowledged and revered the magnitude of a woman’s sacrifice in carrying and giving birth to babies. I still carry the scars of pregnancy on my body. I recall the difficulty of those first postpartum months when my body stitched itself back together, and I learned to care for my newborns. My husband and I are far enough out of those exhausted newborn days to remember them mostly with fondness, and a sense of wonder that we survived. For us, those sacrifices were worth the reward, but they were indeed sacrifices.
My research, my religious beliefs and my personal experience all confirm the incredible sacrifice women make in growing and birthing a baby. As my appreciation of that sacrifice has grown, so has my conviction that women should be able to choose for themselves whether to make that sacrifice.
