Blog for Choice

Today is national Blog for Choice Day.

I did not sign up because I was not sure whether I'd have the time, but I think it's really pretty important to get the word out anyway. The topic this time around is: Why is it important to vote pro-choice?

Here's why I think voting pro-choice is important: We're all going to be faced with tough choices at some point in our lives, and with a lot of those choices, we can never know how we'll react until it happens to us. It's easy to judge, and it's easy to rationalize and theorize, but ultimately all of that means very little when the situation arises. And when we're in those situations, it's always best to have as many options as possible, and to have information about all of them, and to then be able to make the decision that is best for us at the time.

Voting anti-choice means just that - it means eliminating an important option and taking the ability to make an informed choice away from those who really need it.

Whether or not abortion is 'right' or 'wrong' is based on an individual and the place in life that they're at and the sort of circumstances they find themselves in. Whether or not to have an abortion should be up to the women it concerns, and not to some politician they've never met.

So - go ahead, blog for choice and explain why you think it's important to vote pro-choice!
