I am going to do my best to keep this short and sweet as I am typing one-handed on my phone thanks to a little mishap yesterday with a glass, a visit to Urgent Care, and 17 stitches in my right hand.
Today is Blog for Choice Day 2010, which marks the 37th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. Bloggers across the web are writing about why they are pro-choice so I’ll add my two cents.
I have a hard time with abortion. I’n Catholic and that makes this a complicated subject. Still, that same Catholic faith that feels very uncomfortable about late term abortion is why I’m pro-choice. It’s what has led me to believe the life of a woman who is already here is more important, that we should care for our fellow human beings like Jeaus would. To me, that means valuing a woman’s life over that of a fetus.
I am pro-choice because abortion is a medical procedure and every woman should be able to access it safely without endangering her life.
I am pro-choice. I am grateful to those who fought so hard 37 years ago so I have this right today
