After to reading several articles about abortion..

.. I feel I should make my position clear.

I don't like abortion. I agree that every fertilized egg is a potential human life. I am opposed to abortion except in cases of rape, incest, or a threat to the woman's life or long-term health.

However, as I have a penis and testicles (true fact, I just checked) that decision is not mine to make. It is the decision of the woman, with advice from whoever she choses to trust on this matter.

This is the essence of being pro-choice. I want women, I want my nieces, to have options even if I disagree with those options. Freedom is not easy. Freedom means understanding that people will make choices that make your blood boil and accepting that this is their right.

I am actually a fairly conservative person. There are many things I just don't get. But I accept that people, including friends and family, have the right to make their own decisions for their own reasons and accept the consequences. That's what I want in my life, and I want nothing less for my fellow humans.
