Reply #45: Why I am pro-choice:

[KitSileya]

Because in some instances, abortions are a medical necessity.

Because the government has no business making medical decisions.

Because I do not believe my religion, or any religion, should limit the choices of those who do not believe the same as I.

Because I find biblical support for it - which will only help determine *my* decision should I ever decide to have an abortion, because even if the Bible openly stated "abortion is ok" it should not be used as a basis for any laws.

Because I do not believe a fetus is a human being - as long as it cannot survive outside the womb, it's part of the woman's body.

Because I believe a fully grown woman is more important than an unborn embryo/fetus/child.

Because children should not be forced to destroy their bodies to bring forth any child.

Because women who are raped should not be forced to bear their rapist's child.

But most importantly, I am pro-choice because women have the right to decide over their own bodies.
