There is No Such Thing as Pro-Life or Pro-Choice

I find it hard to take Pro-Life and Pro-Choice activists serious for one important reason - I think the euphemisms are completely unnecessary. Now, this isn't an absolute reason, because each label, Pro-Life and Pro-Choice, are complicated collectives of a wide variety of informed and uninformed opinions that are about as outdated as the religious motivations of each side.

Because the arguments against Pro-Life activists seem heavier and more complicated on the surface, I will focus on Pro-Choice activists first.

My biggest problem with sitting on the Choice side of the fence has more to do with the word itself - CHOICE. While, technically it is an accurate representation of their beliefs, I don't believe that it paints a concise picture.

Are we taking a test for biology or are dealing with a delicate human life?

It's also important to remember that Choice doesn't really reflect a choice; it's an advocate for the legalization of abortions. I've not ever considered an abortion nor do I ever imagine I will, but I think it's important to rally for the women who take that difficult journey into what these so-called Life activists consider Hell.

I admire any woman who has the courage to stand up for herself and get an abortion. It takes a lot of strength and confidence to take the trip. Until you've experienced it yourself, you have absolutely no idea what it's like to fear becoming a mother. Raising a child is one of the scariest things I've done in my life, so I empathize with any woman who has had an abortion.

Keeping that in mind, remember that it really is no choice to get an abortion. In some cases, it's a sacrifice and in others, it's being responsible and intelligent enough to do what's right for your body and mind. The fetus probably won't care anyway.

I used to be Pro-Choice. I am now Pro-Abortion.

What about the Pro-Life activists?
