So, guys...
I decided to post something a little more controversial on my blog. And I was supposed to post on Saturday but.... things got crazy. Anyway.
First of all, if you are not pro-choice, or you get easily offended.. Then leave this post. Sorry, but this post is not for you.
Prochoice
IS Pro-life.
I DO NOT CARE WHO SAYS IT IS NOT. It
IS.
People misunderstand and think that being prochoice, means supporting murder.
AGAIN. I really need to emphasize this.
PRO CHOICE IS NOT PRO MURDER.
People misunderstand what pro-choice is.
At first, my whole life. I literally thought I was "Pro Life" I was against abortion, I believed that people who got abortions were so
fucking stupid to make that choice. I believed that those women were so irresponsible, awful, and stupid.
Then..... almost a decade ago, a situation happened. Where someone got a pregnancy scare, I won't say their name, here out of respect to them.
This person thought she was pregnant, so she told me that at her age, at her time in college, she could not afford a baby. So let me clarify this. She
WAS NOT pregnant anyway, so she did not have to worry about going to a clinic or doing steps to remove the embryo and whatever.
She told me that she was not against abortion if it was truly necessary, and she hoped that I would open my mind. Now, here is where I am glad.. That I have always been flexible. I am
always willing to learn. I am
always willing to help and support people the best to my abilities. To be a better friend, a better PERSON.
But anyways. I learned about abortion, and to be honest..
yes I WAS DISGUSTED. But did it change my beliefs? No. My friend changed my beliefs.
From that point on, I knew... Not my business, not my choice, not my decision and not my life.
So this brings me back to the point...
If you are not pro choice... You care NOTHING about women rights, health rights, our rights.
Let me put it to you this way. It is FINE to be against abortion. IT IS OKAY TO
D I S A G R E E. BUT there is no way in HELL, that you should use your religion, your personal beliefs, and
YOUR opinions to force a woman to conceive full term.
Basically, people's idea of
PRO LIFE is actually
PRO FETUS.
Forcing a woman to conceive full term, without considering the consequences of what could happen to her body, is NOT pro life. You are not pro life if you care more about a fetus than the woman who's body developed the fetus.
You are not pro life if you believe that a woman should die having her baby.
You are not pro life if suddenly you stop helping a woman after she requests assistance with her baby.
You are
PRO FETUS AND ANTI CHOICE. Period.
And that is way different than being pro life, or pro choice.
If you believe.. that a woman gets to make the choice herself.. Then you are pro choice.
If you believe that it is wrong, but you support the woman anyway in her decision, you are pro choice.
If you believe that the woman's life is just as important as yours, then you are pro choice.
BUT I ***WILL**** REPEAT THIS
PRO CHOICE IS NOT SYNONYMOUS TO PRO ABORTION OR PRO MURDER
IT JUST MEANS.. Your choice, I will do my best to support you in your journey, no matter what you decide. And I know that my opinions in the matter, should not affect you as a person.
That is why... Pro choice IS Pro Life.
