One of the main reasons for being
pro-choice is the belief that people have
the right to control their own body.
Specifically, they cannot be legally
compelled to donate their organs or bodily
fluids to someone else, no matter how
great the other person's need.
If someone is dying of kidney failure, and
you are the only person whose tissue
matches, no one can force you to donate a
kidney.
If someone needs a bone marrow transplant,
no one can force you to donate your bone
marrow.
There is no legal requirement for anyone
to give blood.
Therefore, no woman can be forced to give
up her bodily autonomy just because a
fetus would die if it was removed.
This basic human rights undercuts the very
premise of "it's a human being." no one
has the right to use someone else's body
against their will. Any woman who chooses
to remain pregnant, is generously donating
the use of her body -- and that is not
just her uterus, but her whole system --
to the needs of another creature. But
under no circumstances is that creature
legally entitled to demand that.

The main reason that I converted from the
pro-life way of thinking is that I
realized that the government already
controls just about every aspect of our
lives. They shouldn't be able to control
our bodies, as well.
The government has no right to say what
decision we're allowed to make. It
really has begun to bother me. I've
really opened up my eyes a lot since i'm
not sucked into the black hole I was in
when my nose was always in my bible.
Seperation of church and state, abortion,
everything. I've changed my views on...
*everything*!!! Lol
as I said, I still with there wasn't a
reason for abortion to be "necessary", but
I think it's just morally wrong to tell
someone they have no right to decide what
they do with their body.

I am definitely one of the pro-choicer's
that is not full of hate and anger as I
have seen and done too much in my life!
In the 1st place if you are a pro-lifer
you are posting in the wrong area.
The 2nd place, I seriously hope that if
they ever do change the abortion right law
that you are never seriously laying there
needing an abortion and the dr's tell you
no because it is against the law, which
has happened prior to one of my friends
who used precautions in the right way and
they failed her and she and the fetus did
not have enough time to wait for all of
the red tape to go thru.
Many times abortions are not evil, not as
evil as a baby born that is unwanted that
is neglected abused unloved but maybe you
have not seen that yet, I have and it is
very, very sad. Look at the times where
rape or incest were involved or a baby
born with some of the main parts missing
and not all can be replaced. It is not
evil, a lot of the times, it is being
understanding, which I realize that you do
not understand. I suppose you remember
being 8 to 10 weeks in your mothers tummy
feeling pain and being born when you were.
Neither one of us would remember the
abortion as we would be dead.
The best to you! It is too bad that you
have such negative thoughts about those
that are pro-choice and that really
understand and care!

I haven't removed all of maggick's posts
because some of them were kind of polite,
and this is her first offense. But you
should know, I basically have a
no-tolerance policy when it comes to
pr-lifers posting on the pro-choice forum.
Sorry this got out of control; but all of
these topics suddenly apprared within the
past two days it seems. I'm working on
cleaning them up, and unlocking them.
