Anti-choice, Anti-women?

This post is not about parenting. It is simply about something I read and I felt I wanted to respond to what it said. It is still something that I think is related to motherhood, so I thought I would post it here. I recently saw something on Facebook about pledging support to Planned Parenthood.  Part of the description said, "this is for all those anti-choice, anti-women people out there."  So it got me thinking.  Am I really anti-choice and anti-women because I am pro-life?  This is what I concluded: I am definitely NOT anti-choice.  I believe that a fundamental part of being human is having free will, or the ability to choose.  We all have choice and I don't want to take any choice away.  I just want women to choose to value another life over their own.  That they would choose to protect a life that only they can protect.  Unfortunately, our society is not that selfless.  However, I am still for choice. Am I anti-women?  What about the millions of women who were never given a chance at life because they were aborted?  What about the countless baby girls whose choice was taken from them!  Who will stand for these women and their rights?  I will stand for these women.  In our culture, when a woman gets pregnant, if she wants the baby it is viewed as valuable and loved.  If she doesn't want the baby then things are viewed differently.  What is the hidden message behind abortion?  That a person only has value if they are wanted.  I on the other hand believe that all women (and men) have value regardless of their age and regardless if someone wants them or not. Worth is not determined by someone else's opinion of you.  I believe all women have worth and value.  I have worked as a post-abortion counselor and I have seen the emotional and physical scares that abortion can leave.  I never want any woman to have to face that kind of pain and trama.  I am for women, whether it is the women who had the abortions, or the women who were aborted.  I want all women to be happy and whole.  I believe that starts by making different choices than what our society is choosing today.  So therefore, I am pro-choice, and I am pro-women.
