40. Being pro choice means just that--the right to make a moral decision.
Being pro choice does not automatically mean that one will decide to have an abortion. Being pro choice simply means that the right to decide to end a pregnancy belongs to the person most involved--the pregnant woman.

Mary was asked by God to bear the Savior of the world. She said yes, knowing that the people around her might never accept a child born out of wedlock. It was a profoundly moral decision.

What these people are really saying is that ordinary women are not capable of making the same sort of moral decision that Mary made.
