Pro Choice

     In life we make many choices and decisions that can affect our lives permanently. The choices we choose to make must be responsible ones if we want to reap the benefits of a good decision. Everyone in life should have a choice, particularly women. Women should have choices and they should be able to make them especially about their own body. Pro-choice is a benefit to many women when it comes to making permanent life changes. One should take into consideration that being able to have a choice is a woman’s right.

      People shouldn’t make drastic decisions without thinking them out. They should plan first and then carry out their plan that is the right way.  When making big decisions one should consider the reality of their finances, their mental aspect, and the behavior that may come from a parent who has an unwanted child.

     Having a child is a beautiful and can be a most rewarding event that can happen to a person. It is a life changing experience and you can never go back. Sometimes it is not always as beautiful for many women. Some women find themselves in situations where they are not in love, not financially stable and are not ready for the load of the responsibility to care for someone else. When they find out that they are with child the question off sets in their mind; what am I going to do? Why would a person who is not ready to handle the responsibility or who doesn’t have the finances to care for a child have a child? Why bring a child into an unstable environment. This is in the best interest for the woman if the child will not be in a stable, caring, loving environment

     Pregnancy can bring a mental setback to an individual. A woman can get caught up into her emotions instead of stepping back and looking at a situation for what it is really worth. What if the woman is raped or there has been an incident of incest. Should that woman have that very thing that traumatized her be with her for the rest of her life? Would that be fair? That is why pro- choice is very important there can be many types of situations with many different women.

     Mentally a woman who has an unwanted pregnancy ends up having many regrets. Mentally a woman would suffer and go through everything if she had no support or if the soon to be child’s father is not around or in his right mind.  

     “Abolition of a women’s right to abortion, when and if she wants it, amounts to compulsory maternity: a form of rape by the State.”

  ~Edward Abbey

       Bottom line unwanted children that are born are most likely to be abused by a parent in some type of form. Why would someone put themselves into that type of situation? Common sense tells you to stay away from situations that can end up like that, but it happens.  After you give birth you are stuck with a child you never really wanted and then the child suffers. It is unfortunate situation.  Why bring a child in to a dysfunctional environment? That should be against the law to bring a human being into a world that is from the very beginning no good.  A child needs a mother and a father. This can save a lot of children from being abused. 

     “Society does not need more children; but it does need more loved children. Quite literally, we cannot afford unloved children, but we heavily pay for them every day. There should not be the slightest communal concern when a women to destroy the life of her thousandth of an ounce embryo. But all society should rise up in alarm when it hears that a baby that is not wanted is about to be born.” ~Garrett Hardin

    Prochoice should be recognized and it should be practiced. Women should keep this opportunity in their life so that if something were to happen they could have a choice in the matter. It would not be forced on their life and be as a burden instead of a joy.

    “I have met thousands and thousands of pro-choice men and women. I have never met anyone who is pro-abortion. Being pro-choice is not being pro-abortion.  Being pro-choice is trusting the individual to making the right decision for herself and her family, and not entrusting that decision to anyone wearing the authority of government in any regard.”

 ~Hillary Rodham Clinton
