Why Pro-Choice?

I've just recently become a mother; someone who is responsible for another's life, someone who nurtures, loves and cares for the life she created or took responsibility for. My daughter means the world to me and I wouldn't trade her for any amount of money or object on this earth. I didn't have the best pregnancy however the things that I went through made me the strong person I am today. Some wonder how I made it through my pregnancy? Why her father and I aren't together anymore? How the pregnancy experience was as a whole? More importantly WHY I chose to have my daughter in the first place especially at such a "young age". The only answer I have to the last question is because I am Pro-Choice.



Being Pro-Choice wasn't the easiest to explain to people who knew that I was pregnant or had been pregnant and decided to have my daughter. Theirs no simple explanation as to why I chose to have her other than I couldn't see myself being without her. Although I am young I've been through a lot in the past 9 years of my life but live my life with NO regrets.

I've always been Pro-Choice for as long as I've known about sex, abortion and women's right. In choosing this topic I feel theirs so much to touch basis on and discuss; from abortion, adoption, woman being given the choice to make the proper decision based on their lifestyle, the consequences of making the wrong decision, how to make the proper decision, and so many more what-ifs, what happens when, and how come unanswered questions.

The whole point of me initially choosing this topic was not only for awareness but so that people I know and don't know can a sense of how I feel personally about the topic and why I feel so strongly about it. Our country is based off of being free; free to be who you want to be, free to speak how you want to speak (with some stipulations), and free to express your culture and who you are as an individual. Being Pro-Choice is so controversial and many people don't understand the concept of why someone would be okay with killing another human-being but it has nothing to do with that it has to do with everyone being able to make their own choices with their bodies to fit their lifestyle and the way they want their future to be. Choosing to blog about Pro-Choice may rub many people the wrong way but I am not blogging about this to make someone feel better or worse about their personal views and lifestyles. As stated before this is to bring awareness and shed some light on the situation and to hopefully help someone somewhere in need of making a life altering decision that could either be the best one they've ever made or the worst.

In the words of one of my favorite Gory movie star Jig-Saw from the Saw series "The choice is yours"
Are you Pro-Choice?

  2. Interesting topic. I am one that is pro-life and always felt no one know what one goes through when faced with such a hard decision. Being a mother myself I wouldn't know what I would do without my kids. Looking forward to readin more about this topic.

  3. I love the fact that you chose this topic to blog about, I love hearing others opinions and reasons for being pro-life or pro-choice. It is not often you see somebody who chose to "keep" their child advocate for being pro-choice. It is also nice to see you are including the other choices mothers face such as adoption.

    P.s. I am also pro-choice :-) well to a certain extent anyway.
