This is one of those issues that can not be fixed. cause it is not really broken, you are either Pro Choice or Pro Life. There is no middle ground here, there is no way to please everyone. You can not move money around and solve this issue. This is an issue that effects only those involved, the mom, dad and unborn child. We do not become parents the day a child is born, we become parents the moment the child is conceived. If the world wants to hold us responsible for making the right decisions for our children as they grow and hold us accountable for their actions until they turn 18 that is fine, but the truth is the moment we conceive we are making choices and decisions for that child. A mother decides to eat better, stop drinking and or smoking. The father makes some of the same choices as parents we are charged with deciding what is best for our children this does not start when they are born. So having said that my stance on this is my stance like it or not it is what I believe to be right. Each of us must decide what is best for the child those who oppose abortion would not like those of us who do to step into their lives and tell them what is best for their children so they should not do that to us.

Everyday we go through life making decisions that will impact our lives forever. We are not judged on all of these choices by the public or the media. I will say I am pro choice I will not try to convince anyone that my stance is the right one, I will not try to convert the pro lifers to my side. All I have to say really about this issue is we are all free men and woman who have the right to decide what is best for ourselves and that of our children. Everything we do in life we do for a reason it is not always the most popular reason but to each of us what we decide to do is very important to us.

As a society all we can do is express our opinions and offer advise, but we do not have the right to tell others how to live their own lives. That is all I will say on that issue for now. I know many of you will not agree and many will. That is what makes being an American so great we are free to choose, free to decide, free to express our selves, but most of all we are free to decide what is best for our own children born or unborn. I agree with the choice anyone makes that is in the best interest of the child. I have three children and would not like anyone to come to my house and tell me how to raise them so why would I want anyone to come and tell me if I could have one or not?
