Where Are My Rights Going?

Okay, so I have some issues with some stuff I have seen on Facebook recently.

I keep seeing posts about how we must abolish the right a woman has to an abortion.
Everyone posting this has been female!
I cannot wrap my mind around this!

Did anyone else learn in history class about suffrage or Women's Lib?

Here is my issue. First please do not think I even like the idea of abortion. Personally, it isn't an option for me, nor has it ever been. In fact when I was pregnant with my youngest, I had stage three cancer, and my doctor urged me to have an abortion, to save my own life. I chose not to. My stand point was that at that point I had had twenty four years to live, why shouldn't my child have the same opportunity?

I knew I couldn't live with myself if I did it. We both lived, so it was a happy ending, but there was a good chance that wouldn't have been the case.

Let me say that I DO NOT agree with women using abortion as a form of birth control! If you can't use protection, and you want to get laid, you can deal with the consequences. I have known of many women that get knocked up, and just run to a clinic and have an abortion because "they weren't ready to be a mom". Well, if you aren't ready to take care of a child, then stitch your damn vagina up, close up shop! Or, here is a bright idea... take a tiny pill once a day, or, make the guy wrap it up! There are countless forms of birth control!

There are some instances where I feel abortion is a valid option. When the mother is a victim of rape, and the fetus is the product of that rape. When the mother and or child is in medical danger, or when you know far ahead of time that when that baby is born it will only live in pain and never really live.

I know of someone who gave birth to a child who has never been more than a vegetable, and has suffered in pain and misery their entire life, the doctors knew this would be the case and urged the parents to terminate the pregnancy. They felt they were already "to attached" and refused. Now they have been waiting for their young child to die the child's entire life.

When it comes down to it, we as citizens of the United States Of America we have rights.

I believe in the right to choose!

My mother taught me growing up that with everything in life, there is a choice! Which choice you make depends on you, and affects, you!

Don't take that option away, because you feel some people abuse it, or because your bible tells you it is wrong!

If you don't that there is that option out there, make the choice to not choose that for yourself, but DO NOT tell others that they can't make that choice!

Maybe I should start being ridiculous on my facebook page and say that I feel it should be illegal to take over the counter medication, because there are holistic options that are better for you. IF YOU USE TYLENOL YOU SHOULD GO TO JAIL!!!!!

How well do you think that will go over???
