Today is the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade. As they did last year, NARAL Pro-Choice America is calling it "Blog for Choice Day" and asking pro choice bloggers to post.


This year's topic:


why it's important to vote pro-choice.




why? because i remember what it was like before roe.
why? because a woman/girl's, YOUR grandma's, mom's ,sister's
daughter's, granddaughter, best friend's, worst enemy's life
is worth so much more than a potential life.

i'm not just talking their physical life, but their life in general.
yes, their health, their emotional health, their ability to have children later instead of becoming infertile from back alley procedures. it's their LIFE.

i'm talking too, about the old "wages of sin is death." attitudes.
that was a national shame back then. it's just beyond belief now and yet, i've heard it, just not in those words.

why? because it's my body, not yours.
it's they only thing that truly belongs to me
just as your body is the ONLY thing that truly belongs to you.

why? because dividing cells do not equal a life to me.
if it does to you. that is your choice. i respect that.


please respect mine.


i tend to ramble, but i am sure you know that by now.
but, it's a heartfelt and personal blog.
