Thank you. Exactly. I made several free choices: I could choose whether or not to be married, and if so, to whom and when. I chose not to. I could then choose whether or not to have sex. I chose not to have sex. Had I chosen sex, I could have chosen to use a barrier (i.e. nonlethal) birth control method, or NFP, or a combination of the two, or to become pregnant. Had I chosen to become pregnant, I could then choose to give birth at home or in a hospital, in a wide range of different ways:underwater, with a doula, all kind of choices abound. Then, I could choose whether to give my child up for full closed adoption, full open adoption, or semi-open adoption, in a fantastic variety of possible arrangements; to give her/him up for foster care, again with infinite kinds of arrangements; to raise her/him alone; with friends; with family; in a communal situation; with a roommate; with a boyfriend.... So many choices. There is just ONE choice NO ONE, male or female, has the right to: murder. That's because a wrong isn't a right. As it happens, I chose chastity. I'm pleased with my choice. As a chaste person, I have the choice to adopt or foster children, or to live childless. The choices just go on and on. And so does life. Life is the inclusive position. It allows every choice that doesn't kill. Someone who gives life continues to make choices. Someone who has been killed will not live again. We need to remind people of that. It isn't life that restricts and narrows the choices, it's the choice of death that does so, by ending someone's very life. The ad is disingenuoous about the words "free" and "will"; it's just sophistic about "power", using the word in a way other than they hope it will be taken. NARAL's position is that abortion safeguerds a woman's capacity to participate in society. Yet, what occupations does pregnancy allow? Pregnant women can and do run billion-dollar companies, countries, empires (in the past), universities; invent world-changing goods; design buildings, interiors, parks and cities; runt he world alongside the nonpregnant. What occupations does it hamper? Pregnant women are advised not to handle dangerous chemicals; lift heavy weights; test drugs on themselves; engage in active combat. It's the occupations we are least likely to want, the lowest paid, the most deadly to us, that we shouldn't "participate in" while with child. Pregnancy doesn't impede us from reaching our goals, it just causes us some time off at the weedkiller plant. So what is NARAL's real goal? Perhaps some members of that organization seriously doubt the humanity of the unborn, but with what science knows now, probably not all do. Perhaps some really worry that women will be enslaved if we have to choose from our thousands of other choices rather than choosing abortion. But probably not all do. Perhaps some fear that abortion clinics are women's only protection from deadly pregnancies-gone-wrong. But with the other ways of treating dangerous pregancies so widely available now, probably not all do. Perhaps, therefore, some are really in tune with Margaret Sanger's anti-poor-people polemics of the early 20th Century. Sanger was known for her racial theories, which should be republicized so women considering abortion will know whose idea it originally was to encourage such a grim "choice". Meanwhile, we need to keep putting successful independent pregnant women in the public eye. Thank you, Suzy B., for what you're doing.
