This made me laugh


I should try this next time I talk to someone who's anti-choice.

You may notice I use the term 'anti-choice' and not 'pro-life'. That's because I am pro-life, pro-choice -- it's possible to be both. These people are pro-life, anti-choice. The members of CF_hardcore are probably pro-choice, anti-life. But I digress. 

Personally I think abortion is wrong -- no, I don't have a real reason for feeling that way, I just do -- it's an emotional thing for me. But when it comes to legalizing it/keeping it legal, I support legal abortions, because it comes down to choice and rights. If women are legal people then they should have control over their reproductive systems. Simple as that. 

To use an analogy, I support legalizing marijuana -- I don't smoke it, don't particularly like it, but I support the right for people to smoke it, whether for religious or recreational reasons. Because equality under the law is just that -- equality. You can't pick and choose who gets what rights.
