In my Master of Social Work program, I am taking a social justice class. In one assignment, I needed to write about a social disparity that I have noticed, unfair treatment, prejudices.

I read another blog on this cite this afternoon (I can’t remember the title) that expressed frustration at the women who “use abortion as a “get-out-of-jail free” card.” I take quite a bit of umbrage to this characterization.  Read More »
