Blog for Choice Day
15 years ago
January 21, 1973.
A landmark decision is made that gives families have the right to take care of their reproductive freedom.
It stops forcing women to sneak off "for a weekend" and gulp copious amounts of poisonous substances in desperate hope of being sick enough to cause miscarriage.
It stops unlicensed, uncleanly chop shops from carving women open.
It effectively shuts down the abortion septic wards -- Entire WARDS in hospitals dedicated to treating women who were suffering and dying from botched abortions.
It stops the death toll for BOTH women and fetuses.
It stops many needless, horrific deaths and torn families, and opens the way to getting better birth control and education for men, women, and their children who are just budding into their sexuality.
I am asking folks today to take a deep, unbiased consideration of the horrible circumstances that I have described above. I want you to put aside your personal feelings, beliefs, and emotions about abortion and consider a very important question:
Given what I have described above, do you think that laws were very helpful in stopping the heartbreak of unwanted, unplanned for pregnancies?
If you are thinking "No," then this my friends, is the heart of pro-choice. Trying other solutions rather than having the government dictate what is best for you.
It didn't work before. It won't work again.
Are there other solutions? Yes. Absolutely.
You CAN be against abortions and still be pro-choice. You CAN believe that abortion is murder and still realize that the government can't take care of the issue.

Yeah, what people won't understand, basically is the importance of choice. I myself, am mostly against abortion, but the right of choice is sacred, expecially about something so important.
And I really wish people would stop considering having a kid like a punishment:
'She's a little slut and pregnancy is what she deserve!'
Damn, everyone has been young and uncautios at least once in their life, and babies aren't, for the most part, like lava balls sent by God from the sky to punish uncautious little woman.
I really dislike over judgemental people :\
This is why I really have no respect for anything pro-liars have to say about their position. They don't actually care about babies at all. Watch how fast a "baby" and a "life" becomes a "consequence" and a "punishment" in the same sentence. You can't really get much more disrespectful of life and motherhood than calling a helpless human infant a "punishment." It's disgusting.
They are also usually so ignorant that they think that, "just close your legs and don't have sex" is actually going to work.
The people who actually do care about the sanctity of life realize that we tried the whole "illegal" thing and it didn't work. They see it's not working in countries that still have restrictions or bans.
If we really want to reduce unwanted and unplanned pregnancies (and therefore abortions) then we need absolute freedom to work on other ideas. That's what choice is all about.
It's really more of a fight about who's got the right brand of morality than it is about the realities of reproduction and parenthood.
Unfortunately, it makes it very difficult for folks to gain access to birth control, sterilization, and reproductive health care services. Even services for wanted and planned pregnancies.
