The only factual freedom one has in life is the ability to choose. In life you come across many defining moments, to have someone else make one of these fundamental decision for you; a decision which has nothing to do with them, but only with you is the definition of incarceration . Pro-choice hits the aforementioned statement at its most fitting and philosophical core, the right for a woman to choose what’s right for her body is her decision and hers alone.
Pro- life disregards this modern inevitability of instinctual desire to make decisions regarding one’s own well being. Since the beginning of time man has always had a choice and whenever man makes that choice they always take some things into consideration. Will the decision I make effect others and if it doesn’t, than the choice one makes is predicated on how the decision will benefit the chooser. Pro-life tells a woman what to do with their own body. I am putting an emphasizes on the word “own” because that’s who needs to be making the choice, not some 60-year-old MALE senator, who knows absolutely nothing about child-birth or carrying a fetus around for nine months!
In addition to this, in order for one to completely be for or against a certain subject matter they must understand the rebuttal. Those that are Pro-life will perpetually argue, “Who will be the voice of the unborn?” and/or “Who gave you the right to decide who lives and who dies?” Both of these points are beyond convincing, they do have some unconcealed holes. One; who really knows when life starts? As of right now there is no scientific fact or certain time table that states when the unborn fetus becomes a full neurological and sentient being. Two; the argument of who gives and who takes life is based solely on religion, but once again, religion isn’t necessarily based on anything worldly. Yes I said worldly, people bring their religion into things that doesn’t relate to the situation. Yes religion has a lot to do with a person’s moral make-up but in order for one to truly be whole they must relinquish some part of themselves to understand another perspective other than their own.
Finally, women are the key to the future, if we don’t allow them to feel responsible for their own well being we will concede the future. If the mother- which is the backbone of the household- is soulless and battered than what can we expect from the offspring?
In conclusion, women, men, and children all make decisions in their life. If someone started making choices for you, how would that make u feel? What’s the first thing you do every morning? I will answer that for you. The first thing you do when you wake up every morning is make a decision, you choose what you want do for that day. My point of this essay is for the common everyday person and the Rhodes Scholar to realize that we all have something in common, Choices. Now I hope you choose to not take the choice from a woman.
