i’m a PRO CHOICE LIFER
said it once.
saying it again.
i’m pro-choice. i’m all for people making choices in their lives.
and, you know, they don’t have to make the same choices as me.
they can have their OPINION.
i love that i have choices. i get to choose friends, and partners, and clothes, and food, and furniture, and politicians, and hair salons and doctors and restaurants and medication and pets and cars and all sorts of things, i get to choose where i live and what i say and who i love. my choice. and i just love that. and sometimes i make choices and wow oh fucking wow are they the wrong choices, so i get to make new choices, and hopefully i get to learn from my mistakes, and if not, well, then i get to make more choices.
and it seems to me that those who are so clearly pro-life get to choose too. boy oh boy do they choose. they get to choose who they love and what they wear and who they don’t like and what they say and who they vote for and where they eat and where they picket and what they burn and what kind of cars and houses they buy and what news and radio they listen to and the company they keep. and you bet a lot of their choices i don’t agree with. not my choices.
so, it looks like everyone is choosing. holy shit … everyone it seems is pro-choice.
and to clarify, i’m pretty pro-life also, i love (okay, maybe not every single day….) waking up in the morning, i love that i get to kiss my husband and friends (yes, on the lips, thank you very much!), that i get to watch the sun rise and set, that i get to write and speak and share my thoughts, visit my friends, go to the movies, and theater and laugh and cry and help someone else get through a day. i’m pretty found of life. i think life is extraordinary, even in the worst of times. i’m all for life.
yep, yep, that sounds pretty pro-life to me.
someone said to me yesterday that she was pro-life and … tada.. “didn’t think i was,” which by the way, i can understand, so, i kinda looked at her and asked, well, why, what makes you think that? and she said, well, because you’re clearly pro-choice, and i said to her, well yes, I am pro-choice, and she asked, well how can you be “pro-life and pro-choice” and i said:
well, you know, i’m also all for pro-bowling, and pro-tennis, and pro-golf, and all for pro-bono work (which is very different than sonny bono work), and pro-skating and pro-duce, and pro-phylactics, and pro-mo and pro-ton, and pro-baseball…
and she kinda looked at me and said, yeah, well, what about an abortion, you think that that’s okay? is that what you’re saying?
and i looked right at her and said, “you my dear are trying to kill my opinions, wouldn’t you call that an abortion?”
i left it at that.

If she wasnt smoking so much dope (yes I know-it’s her choice) She might (maybe ) be able to make sense.

Someone’s in denial. Are you pro-life or pro-choice, in the way that normal people mean it? Do you support abortion being legal? Would you ever have an abortion? Would you encourage a friend to have one?
Not that the whole thing isn’t absolute trash, but I find the second last paragraph particularly horrible and idiotic. Firstly, pro-life people do not try to kill anyone’s opinions. We know abortion is wrong. Therefore, we would like it to be illegal. We do not care if, afterwards, people still agree with it. We would like to change people’s opinions, just as if someone said the sky is green we would encourage them to change their mind. However, we do not try to “kill” opinions. Secondly, your immaturity is betrayed by this comment. With it you trivialize an extremely important matter. Thousands and thousands of babies are dying every day, and you see fit to make this horrible comment as a way of avoiding actually telling your friend whether or not you are pro-choice in the way that people mean it or pro-life in the way that people mean it.
You have to realize how immature this whole article seems. It’s like someone learning Latin for the first time treating their doctor as a teacher just because “doceo” means “I teach”. You have to look past the apparent meaning of the words and treat them as other people treat them: pro-life as anti-abortion, pro-choice as pro-abortion.
Otherwise, you don’t seem clever or innovative. You just seem 12 years old.

Michael, don’t try and push your agenda please, Amy is pro whatever anyone wants for themselves. First off you have no right to tell any woman what she can do with her body. Men need to use birth control as well if they want to be sure their partner doesn’t get pregnant. But if she does she has the right to do with her body as she wishes. Enought said.
