An American mother of six has decided to share her opinion on a sensitive subject, and she’s not willing to compromise. Author Gabrielle Stanley Blair, 44, from Oakland, California, turned to Twitter to argue that unplanned pregnancy is always the man’s fault, no matter what the circumstances and her thread went viral.
"I've been working out the thoughts on unprotected sex and birth control I presented in the article over the last year," Gabrielle told Bored Panda. "I actually wrote the thread about three months ago, and then hesitated to make it public -- Twitter can be a harsh place, and I worried my family would be attacked." Watching the Kavanaugh hearings, however, got her to hit publish.
Also, Blair is a Mormon, and she thinks that when it comes to abortion, her religious beliefs are on her side, too. "The Mormon church has guidelines that include abortion as an option for rape, the health of the mother, etc., and those exceptions can't happen if abortion clinics are illegal," she added. "My interpretation of the Mormon church's take is that it is pro-legal abortion and contraception. Other church members may interpret things in favor of anti-abortion.
