Well I received a pretty nasty email this morning about last nights blog post. In the blog I stated that although I am Pro-Choice, I felt like abortion was not the option for me.
Yes, I am Pro-Choice. I feel as though we as human beings, should be allowed to make our own life decisions. We were given brains, and thoughts... the ability to make decisions, therefore why can we not be trusted to make our own choices?
Pro-Choice does not mean being Pro-Abortion. What it means is that you are giving a person the right to decide for themselves. Yes, life begins at conception. Yes, that fetus is a little bitty person. For me, it was not an option, but for many it is. There are hundreds of reasons that people make those decisions, and I respect them. If you can't trust someones decision making skills, are you really going to trust them to carry through with a healthy pregnancy or take care of a child?
Also, I would like to add that it is frustrating to see people rant about how if women do not want a baby, they should give it up for adoption instead. I would really like to start seeing each and every one of the radical Pro-Lifer's start adopting the hundreds of thousands of children that are lost in the system right now. Literally hundreds of thousands of them are waiting for homes; babies, children and teens. That is something for you to chew on for a few minutes. Instead of pointing fingers at these women, ask yourself what you are doing to help. You can picket all day long and you can rant and judge, but have you opened your home yet? Your heart?
So to conclude, you can send me as many nasty emails or leave as many hateful comments as you like, but until you actually make some sort of valid effort, you are the only one who is going to look like a douche.
Hell yes! I have 3 kids and am most certainly pro choice. I don't hate pro lifers. That is their choice. What if a woman is raped, what if her and the baby would die during the pregnancy. I've known woman that both happened to. I also knew someone who was pregnant with twins and had to abort 1 because it was already dying and killing the healthy one in the process. god forbid if I got pregnant again i would have to have one. I have over 60 metal staples holding my abdomen wall together. When my belly got bigger thosr staples would pop out. Not only would it cause internal bleeding but they could realistically puncture any organs in their path. And if it is gods will for me to die with that child, is it also gods will to leave my 3 children without their mother? Id like to see anybody get in my face about being pro choice. Funny how pro choice people respect pro lifers yet vise versa is rare. That's called bring an extremist and I despise extremism.
ReplyDeleteI've said it before and I will say it agian that I am Pro-Choice, although abortion is not the right choice for me. I also defend people's rights to free speech even though I don't agree with everything they say. It's part of the reason I love living in this country. I am thankful for my freedoms, especially the freedom of choice. I have learned over the years that it is very easy to say what we think we would do in a situation and it could be entirely different if we were actually faced with it. It reminds me of the lyrics to a song:
ReplyDelete"God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes.
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose." ~~Everlast
