		<description><![CDATA[Great post.
Being pro choice does not mean that you&#039;re not pro life..it just means that you&#039;re not.....
anti choice.
Trusting women means accepting that a woman&#039;s right to her own autonomy should be a given. Any woman...human or non human. 
Trusting women means ending eroticized violence.
Trusting women means allowing women to be educated.
Trusting women means allowing women the choice of pregnancy or not pregnancy.
Trusting women means breaking free from the cultural, societal and patriarchal pressure to abstain from compassion.
Trusting women means we are one blink of an eye away from our next positive selective trait in evolution.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Personally, I&#039;m very pro-life, but I feel making abortion illegal wouldn&#039;t help the situation. I feel, if the government would put more money out there to educate men and women on pregnancy, and  sexuality, as well as providing cheaper and more effective means of contraception, would reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies that would end up as abortions. Of course, making abortion illegal can only result in bad, namely because a woman desperate enough to kill their unborn baby could go to a shady &quot;doctor&quot; whom could agree to perform the operation, and could potentially kill the woman as a result. It is much safer to get the abortion by a doctor whom is legit, and can face penalties if something went wrong and hurt the woman.

If a person gets pregnant, that&#039;s their business, but killing it with no risk to their well-being is wrong, in my opinion. Especially when adoption is always an option.

But if the child was no harm to the woman&#039;s well-being, I feel the government should pay for the medical bills. A woman should not have to pay for a child she doesn&#039;t want.

I wouldn&#039;t mind my tax-dollars going towards methods to prevent unplanned pregnancies, but no matter what, there will still be rape, sadly. A woman should be able to get rid of the child, even if I don&#039;t agree with killing it, and would prefer a woman to put the child up for adoption, they should still be able to choose what&#039;s right for themselves, after all, I wouldn&#039;t know what it would be like unless I was in her place.

I guess my opinion is based on the situation. I feel a woman should be capable of affordably preventing an unwanted pregnancy, and even if that were to fail, or if they were raped, to be able to be rid of the child within a reasonable time of finding out. If they were to wait until, say, the second/thrid trimester, that, I feel, is unacceptable, because adoption is always there as an option.
Meh, the ramblings of me. [o.O;&quot;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think it sucks, and in an ideal world, we&#039;d have a much more hands-off approach when it comes to the lives and bodies of nonhuman animals. Until we reach that utopia, whatever it looks like, sterilization is a lesser evil / &quot;welfare reform&quot; I can live with, given the alternatives. (Though I think we should possibly move towards less invasive methods, i.e., those which prevent reproduction w/out stripping animals of their sexuality.)

Of course, it&#039;s easy for &lt;i&gt;me&lt;/i&gt; to say that, since it&#039;s not my body being mutilated.]]></description>
