on the anniversary of roe v wade

i've never had an abortion.

but i've been prepared to have one nearly every month for the past fifteen years, if not longer.

one of the medications i take (and have been taking, for the past fifteen years or so) for my arthritis, methotrexate, causes severe birth defects (www.birthdefects.org/factsheets/fact%20mtx.doc) and it also is used for medical abortions, in combination with misoprostol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methotrexate#Medical_termination_of_pregnancy).

should i get pregnant while on methotrexate, i plan to have an abortion.

many thanks to the women who have been posting about this today, who have reminded me to do so as well.
