Choice or Life?

Recently I read about a campaign about handing out red envelopes to mail to President Obama. The envelopes are supposed represent your stance against abortion and the eternal Pro-Life versus Pro-Choice debate. What irritates me is the extreme people who assume you couldn't possibly be a Christian or serving God if you are Pro-Choice.

Let me say for the record, I am indeed Pro-Choice. However, I don't necessarily support abortion. My take on the matter comes from the steadfast belief that it is not my right to tell someone else what to do with their body. I don't think abortion should be the answer for someone who was irresponsible. However, it gets a little fuzzy when someone's life is in danger. You can constantly state that you would never have an abortion. But, can you really say for sure that you wouldn't if your life was in danger? What about if you were raped and that resulted in pregnancy? Until you are put in that situation, it is impossible to say what you would do. It is easy to have an answer or solution to someone else's problem. But, what about if that problem was yours. Would you think the same way?

I am not bashing those who are Pro-Life. That is your stance on the issue and your right to take that viewpoint. However, don't look down on those of us who might be Pro-Choice. How dare you question someone else's religion based on one issue. Not only is it judgemental, it's just plain rude. Next time you take a stance on an issue, please consider someone else's viewpoint. Remember, it could be that neither side is right.
