Today is Blog for choice day, so I thought I'd do my part. I think the other blogs have done a great job of covering some of the more feminist aspects of the pro-choice debate. I don't think can add anything to the point that women should have control over their own healthcare decisions.
Freedom of choice is more than just what is morally right, It's actually also a good idea. I'm a huge proponent of what works, regardless of the ideological basis for it. Making abortions illegal doesn't make them less common, it just makes them less safe. There are studies showing the abortion rates for countries with legal and illegal abortion are about the same*, but in countries without legal abortion women have to turn to "back-alley" providers, or they try local remedies that may endanger their health.
Pro-choice, not just a good idea - one that actually saves lives.
(sorry, I'm too lazy to actually cite sources, but the interested reader can find the studies with little effort via google)
W00t.
