What being Pro- Anything REALLY means.

I may be young, and REALLY have only about 2 years of actual interest in politics and the goings on there under my belt, but I like to believe I have a pretty good understanding of what democracy is all about. It's about freedom; having the ability to be able to decide for yourself. That said, there should be limits. Too much of a good thing can turn into a bad thing.

Pro-Choice, to me, is not the same thing as Pro- Abortion. It summarizes, in this label,exactly what our Founding Fathers built this country on. It is about having the CHOICE to choose whether or not to keep the fetus. (I call it a baby, but apparently it is WRONG for Pro-Choicers to call it that. Apparently, it's hypocritical.) Back to my point: Pro-Choice is letting a WOMAN decide what to do with HER OWN BODY!
Also, in a side note, just because a person in PRO-CHOICE doesn't mean they will not grieve for their loss. They will. It doesn't mean they hate babies. The thought of abortion isn't something to be taken lightly. It's serious. There are cases, such as Rape, where the mother is emotionally unstable or can be emotionally unstable.
Pregnancy is expensive, so financial situations can also lead to this decision. Medical decisions can also. The system of Adoption and such isn't the best, so that can be a factor in the mother's decision.
I don't think it should be done because the father wishes it. It should be done if the mother AND, not OR, the father cannot RESPONSIBLY take care of the growing baby, if that makes sense.
In my point of view, Passing laws concerning a Woman's body is unconstitutional, although it did take years and years for us to get the right to vote, so...

Men, especially those in POLITICS, need not concern themselves with this. Unless they are the father of the unborn or of the mother, or somehow related in another way, it doesn't involve them.
You can have your opinions, but FORCING someone not to do something is just as bad as forcing someone to do something.

This leads me to Pro-Gun. You don't have to carry a gun, or even own one. I realize that there have been situations where guns have hurt more than they have helped, but there have also been cases where being able to carry a gun would have saved lives.
EXAMPLE: The Luby's Shooting in Killeen, Texas, where Suzanna Hupp saw her parents be killed. Had she been able to carry her handgun into the Luby's restaurant, she could have injured the killer and saved lives.
MODERATION! LIMITS!
Yes, they are necessary, but going extremely against or extremely for is not!

Being Pro-Gay Marriage doesn't mean you are gay. In my opinion, it means you view a HUMAN couple as just that and nothing more or nothing less.
There are those who bring their faith into the argument, but a Gay or Lesbian is a person. Does their being in love harm you? If so, I can see why you would object. Myself, I don't see the harm in true love.


And that is what being PRO- Anything REALLY means.
