Takes on pro-choice

I've seen bumper stickers on cars that say "You can't be Catholic and pro-choice."

I'm sorry. I think I can.

First of all, though I am Catholic, not everyone is. America is a melting pot of people and religions and thoughts. I think that the government should promote healthy births, and adoptions. However, whether or not the government supports it, makes it legal, or makes it illegal, there are women out there that will have an abortion. The question then becomes: do we want women to kill themselves in the process of abortion or do we want to protect them?

Also, how is it right for a government to make a woman who has been raped to carry that child when it could put awful psychological strain on the woman. Or what if the woman has complications and may die in childbirth? How can the government not help her by offering an abortion.

There are people who say that if abortions are legalized, woman will be more promiscuous and have more abortions. I don't think this will happen. Maybe just because I have faith in humanity. But I'm not sure. I'd like to see studies from other countries that have legalized abortion and the rates that change.

But that's just my opinion. My Catholic, pro-choice opinions.
