On Tuesday, December 28 at 11:30 p.m. EST, MTV will air a show featuring three young women who chose abortion when faced with an unintended pregnancy during their teen years.

The show, called No Easy Decision, will be hosted by Dr. Drew Pinsky. He's the host of Celebrity Rehab and other programs.

While we haven't seen a final cut of the program, we stand behind the young women who shared their experiences. It takes a lot of courage to do what they did, especially because anti-choice groups have been known to attack women who share their experiences.

There is no way we can know the situation of every young woman who faces an unintended pregnancy, but we hope that MTV provides a constructive and respectful dialogue that gives these three young women the opportunity to share the complexities of their decision. And, of course, we want to hear from you. Please watch the show next Tuesday and share your reaction to No Easy Decision after it airs. Leave a comment here on Blog for Choice, or share it on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

Also, be sure to get the facts about how laws affect young women's access to reproductive-health services.

There are all sorts of reasons, all sorts of feelings surrounding their decisions.
