I was attempting to organize my millions of photos during my lunch hour on Friday and came across an untitled folder on my desktop. I opened it up and there they were...the maternity photos we took when I was pregnant with Grace. It was right there among my folders titled Faye's Maternity Pictures, Faye's Newborn Pictures and Joe's First Birthday.

I’m sharing
our story because our choice mattered. This choice shouldn’t be taken away from
parents. I believe we all do the best we can with the information we are given.
And we should be trusted to make the right choice for our babies and our own
bodies. My hope is that others will get to continue to choose what they feel is
right for their babies and their families.
As I sat among Right to life members on Tuesday waiting for the committee to get to SB 1180 on the agenda, I kept asking myself one question. What do all these pro-life people do for a living?
Yesterday, after spending another
day of my maternity leave at Legislative plaza, I learned at 5pm that the
committee decided to table SB 1180 for a day due to some amendment
written by a Right to Life representative. A delay tactic, if you will, in an
attempt to lose the opposition's steam. I returned to my car, paid yet again
for the expensive city parking, then sat in traffic for an hour and a half
battling downtown Nashville in the rain. I listened to my daughter cry hysterically in the back seat while I cried hysterically in the front. I was angry, sad,
defeated and consumed with guilt.
