Subject: I would like to adopt, myself.
In reply to: niki 's message, "No one says they have to raise the child.." on 11:21:35 09/12/08 Fri

But does that mean that I want a woman to endure nine months of what is equivalent to torture in my estimation, simply because I would like a baby? No.

Still, this is not my primary motivation for my pro-choice viewpoint. I was only responding to the post about rape and incest.

has the right to self-determination including being able to decide who enters or exits her vijayjay. Of course in the case of rape one of those decisions is taken away. I'm lucky enough that if I found out I was pregnant by some act of violence, drugging or just failed birth control, I have the means to avoid being forced to give birth against my will. My concern is for those who don't have the means. I would prefer that morning after pills were more readily available, but all options for girls and women should be available and legal.

should be freely available and easy to get.

Yet have you noticed that the politial groups who are anti-abortion are also usually anti-abortion-prevention?

If birth control, the morning after pill, and sex education were everywhere perhaps the majority of abortions could be prevented.

it PREVENTS a pregnancy from happening at all. i just finished a continuing education on it and it alters the endometrium so egg implantation cannot occur. so, imo, if they say they are against abortion, they can't lump the morning after pill in along with it. i know that is such a touchy topic and personally, i could never go through with it but i admire that MOST women are intelligent and make /made a well thought out decision and CHOICE to go through with it. i would think it would be a tremendously difficult decision to make. you could argue this that and the other for days on end but i wouldn't want someone else telling me what i could and could not do to my body and the impact it would have on my OWN life.

I'm upset that "pro-choice" is always misinterpreted, as if on purpose.
