Abortion

The only thing we really own is our bodies. My body is mine. What I choose to do with it is no one's business if I don't inflict harm on other people*. Anti-choice people feel that they can impose their will, their beliefs, and their hatred on women and force them to give birth every time they are pregnant. The basic anti-choice position could be:

I believe life begins at conception.
I believe abortion is murder.
Therefore, I will never choose to have an abortion.

Well, that would be fine. I have no problem with that belief system. But the quote above is not representative of anti-choice people. Instead their basic position is:

I believe abortion is murder.
I believe I have the right to impose my beliefs on everyone else.
Therefore, I will control every pregnant woman.

I do not want children. I am obsessively careful with birth control. But should I become pregnant, I have the right to have an abortion. We're talking about MY BODY, remember? My decisions are none of your business.

You don't have to agree with my opinions. You don't have to like what I say. Feel free to hate me and curse me to hell. (False bravado: I'm an atheist). The one thing you *have* to do is stop trying to control MY BODY. Butt out.
