Blog for Choice Day!

I didn't know there was such a thing, but there is, so I'll get this done before midnight.

You often hear women say, "Well, I'd never have an abortion, but I support the right of any other woman to do it." That's not me. I can think of any number of reasons why I might have an abortion, and so I am pro-choice.

I want to see RU-486 brought into this country. It seems to me that pro-liars don't want it because they won't be able to wave their bloody fetus photos around since it induces abortions at a stage where the embryo is microscopic. You have to realize, I support legal abortion even MORE than I support it because I can't stand the pro-life crowd.

I've said that I do yearn for a day when abortion is no more. Seriously, I do. That would mean all contraception worked, that there was no rape and that all women were prosperous enough so that an unplanned pregnancy wouldn't be a big deal. That sounds good, doesn't it? When I pray for an end to abortion, that's what I mean. I don't think pro-liars mean the same thing.

I tend to call the people you refer to as "pro-fetus."

Yep, they only care for "life" when it's an abstract, invisible thing. As soon as the child is born, it becomes another mouth suckling on the welfare teat or another potential criminal that they have to lock up.

And then, there's the contradiction in capital punishment and war.

Agreed. nothing pisses me off more than watching pro-fetus people try to justify the death penalty.
