Republicans/conservatives tend to be "pro-life," and Democrats/liberals tend to be "pro-choice." Just an observation. Pro-choice is NOT the same thing as pro-abortion. People who think this are dumb, plain and simple. Pro-choice is merely saying that one supports the right for a woman to choose to give birth to a baby or to receive an abortion. Many pro-choice people (me being one of those people) would actually never choose abortion themselves, unless something huge influenced them, such as rape (of course, only legitimate rape is considered here *insert thick sarcasm here* - ugh) or medical problem that would either put the mother's life in danger or be something that the child could be in pain for his/her entire life. I must mention at this point that if the mother's life were in danger and needed extra care or the child did have health problems that would create problems or pain for the rest of their life, many conservatives would say that offering them any help to pay for their medical bills would be handouts and would consider them lazy. They want to take care of unborn babies but taking care of people after they are born is unacceptable.
I do not believe people should use abortion as a form of contraception by any means, but sometimes people have to make the difficult decision to have an abortion. If they aren't ready just yet (people DO make mistakes - part of being human or they just aren't in the right situation for it at that moment of their life) or health reasons or rape or some other reason. It doesn't matter, women have a right to say what happens to their body. It affects their life. Men shouldn't be concerned with what women do with their bodies. These government committees comprised only of men attempting to make decisions about women and their bodies and their futures makes me angry to think that they believe they can actually make competent decisions. They have no right to think this or do this, and women NEED to stand up and fight them.
Speak up for your rights and for other people's rights. Don't allow your rights to be taken away, don't allow other people's rights to be taken away. We can be unified as a country under the principle that we are all deserving of the right to be happy and to make our own decisions to create the life we want to live in our pursuit of happiness (which, I might add, is stated in the Declaration of Independence). We can be unified in knowing that we are all humans and we should see each other as equal because WE ARE ALL EQUAL.
