They are on the side of pro-choice because they believe that each and every woman should be able to decide whether they want to be pregnant and have a baby. Woman should not be forced into doing something with their body just because it is what the government is saying. This kind of

The next ethical theory, utilitarianism, focuses on determining the choice for the actions and the choice made depends on the course of action that has the best consequences for that person.

J.F. Clark makes one realize that people who listen to their conscience in tough situations, instead of following the popular choice, are the bravest individuals of today's society.
