Katriana Ciccotto, a young post-abortive woman, recently shared her abortion story on Channel 5 News<\/a> in the UK in an attempt to end the stigma surrounding abortion. She argued that because one in three women in the UK has had an abortion, the shame of abortion needs to end. But the number of times a moral wrong is committed does not suddenly make it a moral right.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Ciccotto explained that she was using birth control when she became pregnant, as is the case with most unplanned pregnancies. As previously reported by Live Action News<\/a>, a survey by the British Pregnancy Advisory Service found that 51.2 percent of abortion patients were using at least one type of contraception in the month they became pregnant.<\/p>\n

After learning she was pregnant, Ciccotto explained that she told the nurse she couldn’t have a baby. “And my exact words were, ‘I am in no financial or emotional position to have a child.’ But most importantly, and I feel OK saying this now, is that I didn’t want to have a child. It’s as simple as that, I didn’t want to have a child.”<\/p>\n

Whether a child is considered wanted or not doesn’t change his or her inherent value. Every human being, from the moment to fertilization, is a unique individual with his or her own right to life. A human being’s life should never be taken away because one person has labeled him or her unlovable or unwanted.<\/p>\n
