Do you trust me?
Seriously. Do you trust me?
Do you trust me to drive a car? Even if I am on the same road as you?
Do you trust me to balance my own checkbook?
Do you trust me to select and cook nutritious meals?
I have a CPR certification; do you trust me to do CPR on someone you care about if it is necessary?
Do you trust that I can, with the help of a physician and perhaps the internet, make decisions about what I must do or not do to be healthy?
Do you trust me to raise children?
Do you really?
If you trust me to do all these things, how about other women? Do you trust the lady in the next car to not crash into you? Do you trust the woman doctor to save your life in an emergency? Do you trust the woman at the grocery store with 3 kids in tow to raise them? What about the high school girl down the block, do you suppose she could put together a balanced meal?
So then, why are there people who won’t trust a woman to make the most important decision, a decision which will directly influence her health for 9 months, and will directly influence her life possibly forever? How can you trust someone to raise children, yet not trust her to make the decision whether to have them in the first place?
