I don't always click on FB posts that take me to blogs, especially if they're hot button topics. I know that many people choose to use FB to share the things they feel strongly and deeply about, and if that works for them then that's ok with me. Many people want to share things they feel strongly about in the widest way possible. I've chosen to take a different approach and (in my opinion) that's ok too!
I chose to click on this one because the title made me curious. Why would miscarriage matter more or less to a pro-life person or pro-choice person? I've heard a lot of arguments for both pro-life and pro-choice in my lifetime, and I don't think I've ever heard a pro-choice person that is anti-babies or anti-humans.
At a CCD class in middle school, the parent who was teaching the class read us a VERY graphic medical description of an abortion. When I had my first miscarriage, the same procedure had to be done to me. All I could think about was that awful thing she read to us. That made me keep thinking for a long time how even though some people choose that procedure and some people have bodies that make the choice for them, it has the same ending.
This person puts it more eloquently. I would have put less religion in mine, but it's true. EVERY SINGLE ONE of the examples she gives of how people treat miscarriages was said to me. All in loving, caring, ways, but still. It's interesting to look at the thoughts side by side because it really is how people act.
