Why I Vote Pro-Choice

Blog for Choice Day

My reasons have not changed from last year.   I'm politically pro-choice because my body is my own.  I am nobody's brood mare or offering to a god.  And no matter what the law says, women always have a choice to continue a pregnancy or to try to terminate it.  The political question is whether that choice will be safely and effectively available to all women, even those without access to money and power.  Of course, it must.

You are so right. Your body belongs to you and only you and no one should be allowed to take the right to your body away from you. Every single area of your body that has your DNA, every single cell with your unique genetic code that make you you, belongs to you and only you. But wait! That fetus, that lump of tissue inside you, it doesn't have that. It has its own set of DNA. It has a completely seperate genetic code than you. And if you have the right to your body, your DNA, why shouldn't that child have the right to his or hers? Wow all that "your body" has ALL its own body organs and systems at 8 weeks. Hey "your body" is pretty special! It has two of everything. Its almost like you've got a separate person in there! Wait! YOU DO!!!

I'd love to hear your response to this so please shoot me an e-mail. I'm a very open minded person if you'd like to try and convince me.
So e-mail me

Compassionate Conservatism in Action

Zinn


  • "[O]ur time, our energy, should be spent in educating, agitating, organizing our fellow citizens in the workplace, in the neighborhood, in the schools. Our objective should be to build, painstakingly, patiently but energetically, a movement that, when it reaches a certain critical mass, would shake whoever is in the White House, in Congress, into changing national policy on matters of war and social justice."

Bono


  • "True religion will not let us fall asleep in the comfort of our freedom. Love thy neighbor is not a piece of advice, it's a command. ...

    God, my friends, is with the poor and God is with us, if we are with them. This is not a burden, this is an adventure."

The Reverend Al Sharpton


  • Ray wasn't singing about what he knew, 'cause Ray had been blind since he was a child. He hadn't seen many purple mountains. He hadn't seen many fruited plains. He was singing about what he believed to be.

    Mr. President, we love America, not because of all of us have seen the beauty all the time.

    But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.

Marx


  • ''With adequate profit, capital is very bold. A certain 10 percent will ensure its employment anywhere; 20 percent will produce eagerness, 50 percent positive audacity; 100 percent will make it ready to trample on all human laws; 300 percent, and there is not a crime which it will not scruple, nor a risk it will not run, even to the chance of its owner being hanged.''
