Description
Being pro-choice doesn't mean pro-abortion. It means supporting the right to choose. To choose to have an abortion, to choose parenthood, to choose to bring a child into the world rather than dragging it in to a broken family.

People - both women and men - should have the right to choose whether or not they want to be parents. Forcing people who don't want to be parents to become parents puts children in danger of maltreatment, neglect, abuse, starvation, and more.

If a woman wants to keep a pregnancy and a man does not, it's her decision because it's her body, but the man shouldn't have to support a child he never wanted. If a man wants a woman to keep a pregnancy and the woman does not, again, it's her body and her choice, but the man has every right to leave her. If both parents want the pregnancy, congratulations! Now take some parenting courses. If both parents want to terminate the pregnancy, they should have every right to do so.

Whether or not you believe that life begins at conception, the fact of the matter is, a clump of cells is not a person, like an acorn isn't a tree. And it's not your choice what other people decide to do with those clumps of cells. Your religion doesn't get to dictate other people's lives. If you believe they will receive punishment in the afterlife for what they do, sure, fine, believe that, but leave the punishing to God, please.

Don't punish the innocent: the children you want to be born so badly into a home that doesn't want them. Don't force someone into this world only for them to be broken by it at every turn. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth, and nothing more.
