Vote Pro - Choice - Blogging For Choice
On the 35th anniversary of Roe v. Wade I once again blog for choice. This year hoping to encourage you to vote pro-choice.
You’ve worked hard, saved a little money; enough to help your daughter attend the college of her choice. It’s possible she is the first potential college graduate in your family, maybe she’s third generation. Maybe she’s not graduating high school for another year and her plans are still not cemented in stone, but the future looks bright. None of this will matter much if she gets pregnant and has a child. Statistically she will be much less likely to complete those educational milestones. Not only that, but should she marry she is more likely to experience marital instability.
The male on the other hand, despite the increase in female high school and college graduation rates overall, in the case of unplanned fatherhood, is much more likely to return and complete his education. That is if he is even has to put his education on hold to begin with.
It is the female who, when stripped of her chance of completing her education, losing the degree of economic gain, personal satisfaction and success which follows, will forever live with the consequences of a choice she wasn’t allowed to make.
Vote for a candidate who knows that, someone who understands the right of a woman to choose is a basic human right.
Choose your candidate from among those who understand a decision like this should be left up to the individual who will incur the physical, emotional, psychological and socioeconomic affects of the situation. Choose a candidate who appreciates the consequences which correspond with taking away the right to choose can be dire, and such a choice, tough for sure, is best left in the hands of those who will suffer the repercussions.
Think about your daughter, paying with her future for one mistake with the pimpled faced boyfriend from down the road, or the sleazy math genius from her university. A broken condom or a missed birth control pill?
Vote pro choice for you daughters.
Choose a candidate who will run the country while letting your daughter, the one raised with your values, morals, and with reasoning skills of her own, run her life.
Choose a pro-choice candidate.
