Pro-Possibility? Pro-life sounds nice and snuggly on the outside, but it fails when met with some basic constitutional rights that equal one thing: you can't tell someone what they can or cannot do with their body..., well, sort of. We tell people daily that they cannot use their body to kill another person.....Loophole #1. Next, you can tell minors not to consume dangerous or debilitating products (tobacco, alchohol) or that nearly no body can consume illegal drugsLoophole #2. Really, we should have the right do as we please with all these things, as long as our use of them doesn't harm other people.
So, the question really comes down to, can we or can we not tell women what to do with their bodies? Are fetuses separate from their mothers? Are fetuses living beings?
And what of fathers' rights? a baby is literally comprised of half mother's genes, half a father's.
Pro-choice, part of me thinks, allows for too much freedom....what if a group of young women got pregnant merely to exercise their right to abort? I hope it never happens....but the equivalent of that happens across the country daily.
And pure Pro-life is oppression of some basic human rights installed within the constitution.....but possibly the preservation of a fetus's questionable human rights.
So, is the only real solution to be Pro-Possibility?
