I’m pro-life. I am also pro-choice.
My personal belief and choice is pro-life, but politically I am pro-choice. If your first question is “how could you murder babies?”, there is little chance that what I have to say or share even matters to you. But, if your curiosity gets the best of you, read on. All I ask is that you have an open mind.
I am pro-life because I have felt a baby grow inside of me. I never doubted his existence or life. But, I was ready to be a mom and I was in a relationship ready for that life change. I chose to have a child long before becoming pregnant.
I am pro-choice because having a child is a choice. People choose to have children all the time. People choose not to have them as well. Family planning always has been a choice and it always will be.
I am pro-choice because I believe there is a better way. Let’s work to prevent unwanted pregnancies and abortion, not outlawing it. Give women better access to prenatal care and women’s healthcare. Teach boys and girls how to prevent pregnancy and give them open access to contraceptives – and teach them they both own this. Support women in abusive controlling relationships and help them find a way to safety. Stop promoting a pro-rape culture.
I am pro-choice for all the women who have had to make impossible medical decisions and weighed the life of their child against their own life.
I am pro-choice for all the mothers who fought desperately to have a child only to have a late term miscarriage. After suffering this loss, they are now demonized and unable to get the medical care they need.
I am pro-choice because I strongly believe that a woman’s body is her own. No one should control what she puts in it and what she takes out of it, especially the federal government. She should feel safe in her body.
Pro-Life is Pro-Choice.
