I Am Pro-Life and Pro-Choice
A woman owns her body
Every woman on this planet owns her body
Every woman on every planet
In every known and unknown galaxy
Owns her body.
If a woman becomes pregnant
And due to health and/or circumstances
Chooses to have an abortion,
I support her choice
And any resources she might need
Should be available.
If a woman has a miscarriage
She should be comforted,
Medically and emotionally
As she requests.
If a woman chooses to carry
A baby to term,
I support her
And back any medical and logistical help
Required
For the health and well being
Of both the baby
And the mother to be.
And once such a baby is breathing,
Outside of the womb,
I demand the use of social goods
To feed, shelter and educate the child
And to assist the mother as is needed.
