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!

I'm evidence of this. Both of my parents are anti-choice, and look at me now. :)
I came across your blog on FB. I'm pro-choice and pregnant with number six. I'm also daughter to two staunch pro-lifers.
I love the way if you don't support abortion, then you are anti-choice. But being pro-choice somehow doesn't mean pro-abortion. Love the semantics there. My parents respect life as do I. I am proud to say that. And guess what!? I think for myself. Did it ever occur to you that YOU are the brain-washed one? Of course not!!! In your opinion, being pro-choice is just being open minded. If my opinion doesn't agree with yours, I MUST be brainwashed because no one can be as enlightened as someone who WANTS women to be able to have abortions. Someone who doesn't want a woman to go through the nightmare of an abortion because she "can't afford the kid, her SO/parent is pushing it on her, etc" cannot possible enlightened or *gasp* pro-woman.
Dear nameless poster,
Thanks for stopping by first of all, and second, I do not want women to go out and have abortions but the option of a safe and legal abortion needs to remain legal. I am not out there rallying to have adoption or gestation banned because I don't agree with them, but the anti choice movement is.
But one thing you fail to address is the women who are traumatized by birth, parenting, or live with life long regret because they had a child they couldn't afford or really didn't want. Women may not scream about this from the roof tops because it isn't socially acceptable to resent your children but to think it doesn't happen is silly.
Next time feel free to leave a name.
Being prochoice IS being open minded. It means you recognize that the world is not about YOU and YOUR opinions. It means recognizing that there are people in this world who shouldn't have their lives dictated by a stranger's morals.

I'm always glad to see pro-choice moms raising socially conscious children. Thanks for your hard work!
