It's a choice

As The Wege points out, today is "Blog for Choice Day". It's a way of encouraging bloggers (I prefer the term of online opinionator) to describe why they are pro-choice.





Woman's bodies in this country are their own. They can do with them whatever they want. If they want to pierce their nipples and get a tattoo of a dragon belching forth a flaming portrait of Donna Summer, it's their choice.

As for being pro-choice, it, in theory, goes entirely against my Catholic upbringing and against the views of my wife as well. We have mentioned our views but we know each other enough that no matter what either one of us says, the other surely won't change their opinion on the matter.

Women, though, have the option of abortion. Having that option, and with most humans being moral deep down inside, most women would have at least some morality issues with an abortion no matter how far along in the pregnancy they were. Now if they can justify it, so be it but I like to think of abortion as being at least a more viable option in the case of rape, incest, health of the mother and health of the fetus.

In no way, as some would like to portray, does having the option of abortion on the table promote promiscuity. If you were to take away the option of abortion, women in desperate need (being out of options) would resort to risky procedures and run the risk of losing their own life.

Women of the U.S.A., do as you wish. Do to your bodies as you please. They are, after all, yours and not mine. Don't let anyone else tell you what can and can't be done either.
