Pro-choice, what does it really mean

I first read about Sarah Palin talking at a pro-life (which I choose to call anti-choice) fundraiser from Liberal Mom, a blog I follow. I loved the way she said the fact that Sarah Palin even had the option to make a choice for having her child was what the abortion argument SHOULD be. It's so true.

I just read another great article with the exact same theory as to Sarah Palin actually being pro-choice, just from what her statements were. This article has the ENTIRE quote listed in it, and I think it's pretty hard to say you aren't pro-choice after saying those things you said.

I think sometimes we all get so caught up in the "killing" of a "life" that we forget that the argument is only about a CHOICE. The fact that Sarah Palin, or her daughter, or any other women in this world has the CHOICE to carry to term, to give up a child for adoption, to raise that child on their own, or whatever is what Roe v. Wade was/is all about. Liberal Mom says that many women who do have abortions struggle with that choice, and in the ideal world, they would all carry to term and raise their own children. The reality is, however, that life is never ideal...especially for a young teenage girl who has dreams of being a lawyer, or doctor, or any other profession where you need at least 10yrs. of schooling, and tons of money to succeed.

I loved how Liberal Mom says people can be pro-choice and anti-abortion. I think that's a very good thing to put out there...most women are not ecstatic about making this decision. But, isn't it better that we as a country support her to make her own decision, and if she chooses not to have that child, to provide her with a clean and legal opportunity to have that abortion? Because, let's face it, abortions were around before they were legal. They were done in alleys, and done by someone who may have never stepped foot into a Medical course.

Sarah Palin made a choice, and for pro-lifers, it was the right choice, and for her it was the right choice. She was lucky she had the chance to choose.
