    Support

    I can understand that you all think it's tacky that she threw a big party, but I think you miss the fact that abortion is a rather emotional choice and women need support. I think it's brave of this woman to be open and honest and ask her friends to be there for her, not just financially, but also physically. Who are we to say what one person needs and why is it our place to mock her for still wanting to enjoy her life even if she is having an abortion? What if it was to pay for chemo or plastic surgery, is it the same level of tacky?
