Pro-choice encompasses many more aspects of life

Thursday, November 9, 2006 9:47 AM EST

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to publicly announce that I am pro-choice. You see I choose to light up a cigarette any where I please. I choose to drink and drive whenever I please. I choose to not wear a helmet when I ride my motorcycle. I choose not to wear a seat belt when I drive my car. I choose to park on any side of the street that I want. I choose to drive as fast as I want.
I have heard people state time and again that they are pro-choice and that the government has no right telling them what to do with their bodies.

Well, folks, it happens every day. As I pointed out in my tongue-in-cheek examples.

You see the only thing that separates me from you pro-choice people is that I choose to protect our unborn children. I believe the government should have the right to protect the unborn child. The government should be as pro-choice as I am.

If they can tell me and you that you must wear seat belts and helmets and smoke out-of-doors, then why should they not be able tell us we cannot use our unborn babies as medical guinea pigs? If they can place all sorts of restrictions on us pertaining to our homes, where we can and cannot live, hunt and fish, and fly our planes, then why can't they have the right to say NO to Roe vs Wade? So I am pro-choice, I just choose to let our babies live

" And the reason I fight for the unborn is because of people like you who place no value on the life of an unborn child. The individuals who bomb facilities like you stated are no different than the people who kill the baby they carry inside their wombs. Life is sacred. No matter what. As for the examples you gave, right now I know an individual who is the product of rape. This person is a strong advocate of pro-life. Thank the Lord her mother valued her life above that of the terrible crime that was committed against her. Now this woman goes to schools and talks about her personal experiences. God Bless! "

" If you take away the right to choose to have an abortion, by making abortions legal, then you are not given a choice anymore, are you? So, yes, it is your right to choose to keep your baby. That is your right. Just as it is the right of the girl or woman who chooses to terminate a pregnancy. And the to the teenager: you do not die from the legal abortions. You die from the illegal ones. You are too young to remember the days of the illegal abortions. Before abortions were legal, women still had abortions. Only unqualified people performed them. Never in a sterile and safe environment. Yes, people make mistakes, and the greatest mistake would be to give birth to an unwanted child. If every pro-lifer would adopt each unwanted pregnancy, perhaps we would not need abortions. No, you prolifers just try to make the pro-choicers feel guilty for their decisions to abort, and offer no money or counseling to keep their pregnancy and child. Or those pro-choicers that bomb the planned parenthood clinics in the name of preserving lives?! What of the lives they end in the bombings?! The main reason I vote democrat is to keep the pro-choice law in place. So women keep having a choice. "

" Wow! What a great letter! It does make sense to me. As for the CNYer, maybe YOU should stop preaching since you don't have anything nice or smart to say. You don't know that the baby will have a bad life. People make mistakes, but they don't need to make the worst of all mistakes by having an abortion that will scar them for life or kill them. 93% of all women who have had an abortion regret it, and so do many men as well. "

" That was the worst letter that i have ever read in this paper. It doesn't make a bit of sense. You can't compare the two at all like Jerry did. It's just dumb. So let our rape victims have a rape child? Let our teens raise a child that they are not mature enough to do? People make mistakes, so lets not punish a child by giving it a bad life. Learn reproductive anatomy before you go on preaching your pro-life crap. With the Dems taking over the house and senate, abortions are here to stay, and for good reason..Sorry Jerry. "
