What is the real truth about and meaning of Pro Choice and Pro Life? One would think that at the least all or most Americans would agree that Pro Choice is part of our legacy of freedom rights. That goes hand and hand with the privileges that Democracy give us. Unfortunately, there are many that do not agree that everyone is entitle to decide when is the best time to raise or not a family. As we have decided to build this blog is to educate the public about what really Pro Choice is referred to. With that said, the Pro Choice umbrella is not all about abortion, but also about prevention. Preventive measures for women to get pregnant have been around for a quite a while. But in 1916, when Margaret Sanger opened the first Birth Control Clinic in the U.S. in Brooklyn, it was shut down in 10 days. She didn't give up so in 1921she
founds the American Birth Control League, which later became the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. She understood the necessity for women to be able to take care of themselves when it came to such delicate matter as having a baby. Especially because in those days women only relayed on the men to withdraw on time not to get them pregnant. Birth control gave women the power to choose when to get pregnant. Of course the religious society didn't take it that well, in their male eyes, women just wanted to have something not to get pregnant so they could go around and have as much sex as they wanted...Like the men have already been doing for centuries? Wait a minute, what's wrong with this picture? It certainly looks like a double standard for me... Well, women disadvantages in that area began to banish and men had and still have a hard time accepting that women are not just an acquisition but a person with a brain that is capable of thinking and making smart choices. In many cultures women are the target of society that looks down on them if they get pregnant before marriage, but the guy is never at fault. He is a man, he has nothing to loose, in fact the more women he sleeps with, the more man he is. So, why not give the women some protection against those kind of jerks? Because on top of everything, these women, in some cases, are forced to marry these fools, just to keep the appearances, to save the family name, etc... These women could have been saved from a life of misery if birth control was available at the time. Keep posted, next time will talk about the sadly unwanted babies...
