She's just telling her story. Mine wouldn't make me seem much smarter, or a more worthy advocate for either side of the abortion issue.
My main concern is that she lumps having abortions in with abuse and low self esteem, as though a young woman with a positive outlook on life would never make the decision--or be in the position to.
That being said, if Shepherd feels guilt over her abortions, and the whole babies-in-heaven thing makes her feel better about it, fine. If it makes her look goofy, fine. I doubt anyone is trying to make her into the face of pro-choicers or anti-abortionists.
