BFD. Seriously. All that matters is what I choose to do with the fact that I'm here. Blaming her for having me? Wrong target. Blaming lawmakers for not letting her abort me? Wrong target.
No really, I think you are oversimplifying much. First, 1) Not all women have, not even decades ago had, the same choices. 2) She is talking about women's choices and freedom, and not really blaming law markers or her mother, more like society, with its shaming as a whole. I think the issue is not you or me who are here, it's how much rights have women over their own reproduction.
Yeah, maybe we all were, but our mothers were definitely not in the same situation, nor are the people who make laws or stigmatize women. And, they don't have the same right over a woman's reproduction than herself.
