How old were you when you knew you were pro-choice?

Well I was 12, a bxit young I know but I was old enough to know better. I was raised Catholic but let’s just say cafeteria Catholic. Never went to church went through sacraments because that is just what you did. Never really thought about until I got older. My mom had given me the talk years prior with my uncle's old Med school textbook. he's a Physician Assistant.

She explained everything to me in an appropriate way. Showed me her own diaphragm and answered all questions I had. No shaming in my home. When the Nuns for life came they didn’t tell the parents because my parents would’ve kept me home. Anyway my 12 going on 20 mouth goes: "excuse me sister but what if you get raped? What if your kid is messed up?". Answer was choose life. I came home angry. My mom called up the church and let them have it. I knew then I was pro-choice and I joined Planned Parenthood at 13, NARAL at 16. Knew what birth control was and how to use it. I thank my mom everyday.

FYI I’m no longer Catholic, left the church at age 15. Just became Episcopalian along with my folks we converted all three of us.
