Differing Perspectives- Military Women and Abortion (pt. 4)

http://opinion.latimes.com/opinionla/2011/07/abortion-keep-our-military-abortion-free-blowback.html

Unlike many, the majority of people who have formed an opinion on whether the cost of abortions should be covered by the military are third party participants, Jody Duffy believes that someone who has actually gone through an abortion while serving in the military would have a completely different opinion. While a significant number of onlookers of the issue believe that women should have the right to have a full covered abortion, Duffy disagrees. She believes that abortions change a person completely and how it affects their work in the military. She says this from personal experience stating that she lost her identity and that her job could not be done effectively. Duffy believes that the problem of sexual assault should be solved directly rather than allowing it to get to the stage where an abortion would be needed. She wants onlookers to know that PTSD affects a person who has had an abortion; it affects them physically, emotionally and socially.
