Inspired by the Wendy Davis threads and something being discussed on those, so please forgive the repetition.
I am sick of the anti-abortion debate hogging the term pro-life and making me out, by implication, to be anti-life.
I am pro-life.
I am pro-women's, men's and children's lives. I am pro-medical advances that extend lives and cure diseases. I am pro-healthcare programmes designed to improve public health and extend lives. I am pro-care for the elderly. I am pro-feeding the hungry and helping the poor. I am pro-advances which allow more women to successfully carry a pregnancy. I am pro- supporting those with mental illnesses.
Thinking specifically of the developing world, I am pro-safe drinking water. I am pro-sanitation. I am pro-medication and malaria nets and my wonderful friend who researches in the area of malaria. I am pro-education and and I am pro-those seeking to wipe out FGM.
That's just a few of the ways I am pro-life. I am going to stand up and say it loudly. I am pro life.
I am also pro-a woman's right to access a safe and legal abortion if she wants to or needs to.
