im not pro-abortion. im not pro-death but i am pro-choice.

in this day and age people view sex as some sort of recreational activity. im not preaching any type of hardline-manifesto-sex-only-for-procreation deal. and i didnt write this article to criticize anyones sex life but i want to make people realize that the answer is not placing legal restrictions over womyns bodies but the answer is to teach children from day 1 that sex should only be an act of total love for someone and not to satisfy some physical need or desire.

ive been asked how i can possibly be pro-choice and vegan… dont i have a respect and commitment to save all innocent life? of course i do. i do acknowledge that a fetus is innocent and has no say in its future but i also recognize that a womyn (though she has made an unwise decision) is also a life that deserves the right to say whether or not she should carry this child.

people who are pro-life need to realize that in a perfect world people would only have sex in order to procreate, but that will never happen. whether or not abortions are legal there will still be coathanger abortions performed on kitchen tables. currently states are placing more and more restrictions on abortions like waiting periods and parental permission requirements. the availability of abortions is decreasing. i dont know, and hope to never know the mental affects an abortion has on a womyn. but im sure they are much much greater if she is forced to hide her pregnancy from her parents has performs an abortion on herself (yes it is possible - but very often lethal)

no womyn should be forced to bear a child she does not want. the mental and physical effects of an unwanted pregnancy are tremendous on the parent and the child. theres too many unwanted children in this world suffering in abusive homes or not knowing who their parents are. i agree that adoption is a better option than abortion but the adoption process is often too expensive or not an option considered by parents.

i dont agree with abortion being used as a form of birth control but i do recognize the fact that most abortions are performed as a form of birth control. but if you come to me with a pro-life argument i also want to hear your ideas on how to remedy overpopulation with which follows world hunger, poverty, homelessness, and environmental destruction also welfare, abusive parents and rape. until the pro-life argument has way to fix all of the above problems i believe abortion is a necessary evil.
