She is gutsy and keeps her cool the whole time--even when she is forcibly removed from the situation.
The war on Women's Reproductive Rights is an important one. What's happening in Texas could be just the beginning of a sweep of bills designed to restrict access to abortion clinics, limit birth control availability and other aspects of women's healthcare. Texas State Senators Wendy Davis and Leticia Van De Putte are becoming modern day heroines in the fight to stop those bills from passing. In honor of their persistence and dedication, I am going to post the reasons why you and everyone else should be pro-choice.
1. Pro-CHOICE. The terminology fights for all sides of the coin. You can choose to have an abortion or not to, it's that simple.
2. It puts women in control of their fertility. Bearing children should always be a choice, not a burden.
3. Making abortions illegal won't stop them from happening. Women will still have abortions; they will be by people who are not qualified for the procedure and they will be done in non-sterile environment. This puts the women at risk for infection, hemorrhaging and even death.
4. Even women who practice safe sex (use of condoms or birth control) can become pregnant since no method is 100% accurate. Why should they not have a choice when they were being responsible.
5. Because more babies will be born into poverty, broken and unloving homes. Please tell me how that is better than abortions? Anyway the Donohue-Levitt hypothesis contributes the reduction of crime in the early nineties as an attribute to Roe vs. Wade being passed in 1973.
6. If a woman is raped or a victim of incest, she should never be forced to carry out that pregnancy. Ever. Seriously, how cruel is that?
7. Because most Pro-Lifers based their viewpoints on religious ideology, which should never be the basis for a law. The first amendment guarantees all USA citizens freedom to practice religion and freedom from it.
8. Because the majority of people who are trying to make laws constricting abortion are people who can never have one, i.e. MEN. Apparently these "Gynoticians" know more about making decisions about women's bodies then they do.
9. Because if you truly don't like abortion, the best way to stop it is the promotion of safe sex practices (contraception) and mandatory sex education.
10. Because allowing the government to make decisions on what types of healthcare procedures you get is preposterous. Would you allow them to decide whether or not you needed a blood transfusion? I don't think so.
