Women free to choose

“No woman can call herself free who does not own and control her body. No woman can call herself free until she can choose consciously whether she will or will not be a mother.” This quote from Margaret Sanger perfectly explains my perspective on abortion.

We are a free society and we are capable of making our own decisions. We don’t need the government to make our choices for us. Freedom of religion is promised to every U.S. citizen, so why should it be acceptable for one religion to have power to influence the laws? Why should we allow men to make a law that could never, under any occurrence, apply to a man? It’s unethical.

Some women aren’t even physically capable of having a child, and those women have the right to make the choice to live. Consider the fact that 70,000 girls between the ages 15 and 19 die each year due to pregnancy and childbirth. If you can’t trust somebody with a choice, how could you trust them with a child?

I am pro-choice, not pro-abortion. If you’re against abortion, then don’t have one.
