What does it mean to be pro-choice? Many pro-lifers have twisted it’s definition. From a pro-lifers point of view, people that are pro-choice are some what “the scum of the earth”. According to the average pro-lifer, their opposite celebrates abortion. That is just not true. Being pro-choice means realizing the options available when in the situation of an unplanned pregnancy. Another reason why people might decide abortion is the way to go is because of the insufficient funds they might have to raise a child. And being a member of the pro-choice party myself (if you would like to call it that), I am literally disgusted by people who think the government should be able to restrict the public’s access to the future they “really” want to have.
         I like to think that being pro-choice is a fantastic exercise for the sake of freedom of speech. People seem to be so concerned with other people’s lives it is utterly ridiculous. Why should people care if other people are getting abortions? There are many ways to answer that question. One way is to say that pro-lifers feel that pro-choicers are committing murder. Newsflash . . . Not really! I’m sure that many of my pro-choice friends would agree with me when I say that a fetus does have the same rights as a human being (you and I). If I decided to say what I just said to an uneducated person they would probably say “Alex, you are a jerk. You are fiend.”. How would I respond to that? I would say “So are you telling me that a fetus has the right to bear arms? Are you telling me that a fetus is innocent until proven guilty?”. But then again, how could a fetus be guilty. (Sorry. I felt the need for a little comic relief.).
         So in conclusion, I would like to point out that everyone’s opinion should be equally respected. I would never disrespect anyone’s political views and/or morals. I just feel that whether one is for abortion or against it, is their own personal business and nobody should try to intervene with what he or she personally believes.
