I’m pro-choice. I’m pro-choice because of the too often
horrible fate that awaits too many children who are unplanned
and unwanted. I’m pro-choice because of the children who
are abused even when they are wanted. I’m pro-choice
because the world is a cruel, vicious place that doesn’t care
that a child is unable to defend itself.
I’m pro-choice because birth control isn’t 100% effective,
100% available, and even 100% understood by those using
it.
I’m pro-choice because today, right now, there are far too many
people in THIS country who don’t have a real understanding
on where babies come from and why.
I’m pro-choice because ignorance causes almost as many
pregnancies as alcohol/drugs.
I’m pro-choice because children still go hungry, still have no
decent home, still have no quality education, still suffer abuses,
and still have no hope for a better future.
I’m pro-choice because although I wish it wasn’t necessary, I
live in the real world, and know that it must remain an option,
available, and affordable. Just in case.
Cause I’d rather a woman have an abortion, than a child be brought
into the world only to suffer.
When the day comes that no child is unwanted, when every child
has a loving home, when their future is full of hope, when every
child is treated as the precious gift they are, then we won’t need
abortion.
Until then, I’m pro-choice, cause I’m anti-suffering.
This is just my opinion. It only applies to me. My womb is the only one
under my control. But I will support every other woman in her decision
on what to do with hers. Either way.
I just needed to vent. I encountered someone today who was actually
ignorant of the depths of ignorance that exist in our country. And I think
that viewpoint is a problem. We can’t make this a better world for babies,
children, if we won’t admit how big and complicated the problem is.
But that’s also just my opinion. Like I said, I needed to vent. Sorry.
