Pro-choice, meaning you are “for” having a choice. You support having the freedom to make whatever choices you want when it concerns you. The very idea of not having that freedom goes against our constitution. We have that freedom believe it or not. We are free to say and do just about anything. The only things that stop us are our laws, and sometimes our morals, and beliefs. Sometimes people want to have the freedom of choice only when it benefits them most. I mean if you want to go out and party, get falling down drunk, that’s your choice. You know that you will have to deal with all the consequences of that choice. You have every right to do that until it affects someone else in a negative manner. This is why we put laws in place. Getting drunk is one thing, being irresponsible and getting behind the wheel of an automobile while drunk is something else. Your choice no longer involves just you. If you are driving and drinking you are risking the lives of others that were not given a choice to avoid a collision with you. That could very well cost them their lives. When two consenting adults decide to be intimate, it’s their choice. They are also aware that there are consequences for that choice. If they don’t take proper precautions it could very well affect another’s life. This choice can even accomplish one of the most amazing things ever! Create life. Then there are some that feel they should be able to end that life they created. Just like there are laws in place to help prevent an irresponsible drunken driver from taking a life. There are and should be laws in place to prevent a careless couple that made a choice, to do what they did to create life, from denying the life they created the same choices they have. Granted there are certain circumstances that are beyond the control of a woman. I wish I had all the answers. But I just cannot make myself believe that taking an innocent life is one of them. When you choose to be intimate you automatically assume the responsibilities of that choice. If someone in your family felt you were complicating their life and they wanted you out of their life, would it be ok with you if they just killed you? Everyone is screaming “MY BODY MY CHOICE”! I’m screaming for that beautiful innocent child you choose to sacrifice for your pleasures. If everyone should have a choice, that life should have a choice also. Since they have no voice, those that support “PRO-LIFE” are their voice. Live……..live, and let LIVE!!!
