Is a Woman's Right to Choose Absolute and Unconditional?
Advertisements [?]
As a pro-choice woman, I say yes it is. It is either a woman's choice as to if/when/how many children she chooses to have or it's not. It's one of the few areas in life that truly is black and white.

Let me offer an example: I know a woman who has had 9 children with 8 different fathers. She's a crack addict and so is the last baby daddy. The fate of these children have been nothing less than horrendous. Do I have an opinion as to whether or not she should have had 9 children? Yes. Should my opinion affect whether or not she has dominion over her own reproductive organs? No.

May I just say that I'm amazed that I'm actually having to argue this on a so-called "liberal" board.
