Pro-Choice Means You Can Choose To Stay Pregnant

Everyone who is "pro-choice" does not believe in abortion. They believe that it is each person's private choice to decide how it goes.

Everyone has different circumstances to deal with. Sometimes a woman is too poor, or ill, or abandoned, or on the edge of mental collapse, to cope with another child. Not everyone in the world lives in a nice place, or has an income, or a husband, or any family to support her through a pregnancy or after. Perhaps she loves this child but feels she is backed into a corner and will not survive. The people who told her that "if she ever really needed help, they would be there for her" have backed away.
What they had really meant was, that if they ever saw her run past their house, while being chased by a man with a hatchet, they would call 911 or yell for help from the neighbors.

It is a heart breaking choice to make, and I don't think it is done lightly by very many people. Many times a girl has been victimized into becoming pregnant.

I knew a woman who had an abortion when she was young. She was a person who was pro-choice. But personally, for herself, she would never resort to an abortion. However, she lived in very bad circumstances, was victimized. She had never imagined being in this situation and felt she would not survive.

When it was done, she was not prepared for what the doctor did. It was a pregnancy that was only a couple of weeks along, probably not much past the blastocyst stage. After the contents of her uterus had been emptied into a jar, the doctor dumped the jar into a colander in the sink and dug through it with his hands. He then turned on the water, dumped out the colander, turned on the garbage disposal and began to rinse off his gloved hands. A situation that should have been solemn turned gruesome. Her mind shrieked but she was too frozen with shock, to make a noise with her mouth.

She suffered tearful, heart breaking anguish, and was crushed by the memory of it, for the rest of her life. She remained pro-choice though. Knowing that no one would have helped her. And knowing that other women feel they have no other choice, because they will not live through it, and no one will help them. Taking the choice away will result in deaths too: they will be young helpless women.
