Somewhere in the middle of facebooking and blogging I realized that I am personally offended by the concept at which our society has arrived. "Choose Life." "Pro Choice." "Pro Life." "A woman's right to choose." These all imply that it a woman's responsibility to decide whether or not to carry a pregnancy to term. I don't believe that is a decision that belongs to any human being. I believe that pregnancy should be embraced as a reality of humanity. I believe that within this reality is the awareness that three lives are directly effected- a mother, a father, a child.
I hope in my conversation and communication to make it clear that although abortion is legal, it doesn't give anyone the right to impose upon a woman the need to choose. I choose not to choose.
Life from the moment of conception is a scientific reality. It should be acknowledged, respected and honored.
