The best stance to be on the pro-life vs. pro-choice is:

Pro-Mind-Your-Own-Fucking-Business.

Seriously.

Quick Callout: It has never been okay for policymakers to intrude upon the rights of what a woman does with her body.

First off, most policymakers are men who have no clue what it is like to have a baby (and neither do I). And for politicians that are mothers — or parents themselves — it does not make it okay for them to push a Pro-Life agenda.

Many policymakers that are calling the shots on abortion rights usually have no idea what a woman’s situation entails and how following through a pregnancy will affect a woman’s present and future. We already have tons of kids who are in foster care because mothers continue to have kids they cannot take care of, or whom they end up giving up or having to give up.

Wouldn’t it be nice to let women make pregnancy decisions themselves?

Some might argue that Pro-Choice means killing babies.

Well, people kill humans every day, just look around:

  • Alcohol is legal and widely promoted though it is heavily abused. People are dying from it regularly, but the profits are excellent.
  • Cigarettes are legal and widely promoted though they kill people every day, but the profits are hard to ignore.
  • People of racial minorities are point-blank shot or incarcerated at disproportionate rates.
  • Our food supply is deluged with chemicals and pesticides that kill some people slow and others fast.
  • Pharmaceutical companies continue to promote drugs that cause liver damage and other adverse side effects that can lead to death instead of encouraging the usage of more natural substances such as marijuana. But of course, it’s about the money, so that would not be in the best interest of these pharmaceutical companies.

The truth is, a woman should have a right to choose. It could’ve been a mistake, it could’ve been a rape, it could’ve been the wrong time, it could’ve…
