Pro Choice Means Exactly That!

I came across this blog recently titled RealChoice though some right wing nutjob I have on my facebook friends. Needless to say, after said friend became a fan of this blog, and I read a post on RealChoice, they ended up in my friend trash can.

But that bothered me about the whole concept of the post I read entitled Newsweek author asks wrong question is that the thinking behind the post implies all pro choice people are basically killing an entire generation because of course being pro choice means we kill all our baybeeees and have no desire to be a mother. Which in reality could not be further from the truth, especially with over 4 million babies being born annually and we know they aren't all part of the Duggar Cult.

Unfortunately for said pro life author this could not be any farther from the reality of the women who are giving birth in our country. While us crazy liberal mothers aren't cranking them out like the Duggars, we certainly are actively having children, and sometimes stopping short of any children we could not afford. GASP! Isn't that a conservative quality??

The fact is, the anti choice breeders may be cranking them out, but there aren't enough of them birthing like rabbits to actually out number the amount of pro choice actively birthing wanted children.

Another fact of life these brainwashed breeders are forgetting is they may pop them out like pez dispensers, but that doesn't mean their children are going to turn out to be perfect Christian pro life breeders like mommy.

The teen pregnancy and purity balls may be up right now, but they are certainly coming to a quick end, just like the crisis pregnancy center shams.

I am a pro choice mother, and I plan on popping out as many as my husband and I can afford... so boo ya RealChoice!

Feminism Doesn't End at Choice....

Meaning, in so many words, our pro choice goals as feminists, should not stop once a woman has made the choice to continue her pregnancy to term.

We are seeing a current epidemic of women who are losing their own reproductive freedom's during pregnancy and at the time of birth. There is a large epidemic of court ordered cesarean sections, which can and has already been compared to rape.
We have seen this currently in the case of Joy Szabo who was told if she showed up at her local hospital to give birth (VBAC) she would be court ordered to have a cesarean section against her will. Which in turn completely violates the laws regarding informed consent.
Then we move on to the case of Amber Marlowe who was told after a routine late term ultrasound her baby was 13+ pounds and she needed a cesarean, after giving birth vaginally to her previous 6 children with no issue. Hospital staff went to the court, and they were granted a court order to perform a "medically necessary" cesarean and petitioned to become the "guardian" of the unborn child. Talk about out of a movie huh? She went to a different hospital and delivered, vaginally, a healthy 11 pound baby with no complications.
Now had the first hospital got their hands on this woman, she would have been subject to serious unnecessary major surgery.
Hear Laura Pemberton speak about her experience....

Then the case of Laura Pemberton in Florida. Refused a c-section and signed herself out of the hospital AMA, and went home to continue to labor on her own. While in labor, she was met with a knock on her door, and handcuffed, and returned to the hospital for a court ordered c-section after the hospital told a judge that the risk to the baby from uterine rupture was significant. I am sorry, but a less than 1% chance, is not significant when the risk of the child actually DYING is three times greater with an elective c-section.
The cases go on and on. But why is there such a problem?
Well, for one we are not living in the Orwell Novel 1984. Our government should not be making medical decision for us, nor should Doctors solely be making these choices. We are constantly hearing the Pro Choice crowd picketing and arguing about the rights of the pregnant women when it comes to abortion, but what about those SAME pro choice women that make a decision to keep their baby, or plan to get pregnant. Of Course they should still get the same kind of treatment regarding the medical decisions they make during their pregnancy and birth.

It is a truly scary day in America when women lose their rights simply because they are pregnant.

Women's Rights?

Do we need to go back to back alley abortions and fighting for everyday rights?

Of course not! Which is why we shouldn't vote for anyone affiliated with Sarah Palin!
