Reply #42: I'm pro-choice because .....

[patomime]

I truly feel it is a civil right of every woman to have rights over her own body. I also feel that no one in government, church or other person should have the final say-so, only the woman involved. It is between her, her doctor and if she believes in God, her God.

To deny a woman freedom of choice is like telling her she is a second class citizen, unable to have the choices that her very life has given her.

I want to also say, finally, I struggled with this for many years as a person of faith, however, someone made the greatest sense to me by saying I had no right to make a choice for others because that would be judgmental and Christian teaching also tells us that he who is without sin, let him/her cast the first stone. So, on the final issue, I cannot condemn or judge a person because she might make that decision. I think pro-lifers forget sometimes they are not the only ones in the world. Sometimes, they just want to control the world. That's the irony to me, that other women would treat their own species like second class citizenry.
