Today is the 35th anniversary of Roe v Wade. 35 years ago abortion was made legal for all women and now, 35 years later, it is important to celebrate this day in history as well as continue to educate ourselves and each other about safe sex and contraception and the right to safe and legal health care.
Celebrating Roe this year is extremely important, especially since 2007 initiated quite a few new abortion bans and even more that are on their way to passing. These points have marked the undeniable war that politicians, anti-abortion and religious organizations, and extremists have declared on women’s rights.
With the elections coming up and the possible overturn of Roe v Wade due to the Republican side of the presidential candidates, all of whom who vote to overturn legislature that gives women the right and control over their own bodies, it is very important to take a closer look at these candidates and choose to vote pro-choice.
I vote pro-choice because I believe in women and I believe that women are capable of making their own informed decisions about what they can and cannot do to their own bodies. I vote pro-choice because women are smart and educated and they deserve to choose for themselves whether or not to go through a pregnancy. I vote pro-choice because no other person–women, and definitely not men, have the right to tell me what I can and cannot do with my body. I vote pro-choice because I believe that every child should be wanted.
It is important to vote for the candidate who will protect the rights of women because no matter what the laws say, women will continue to have abortions. Before Roe v Wade was passed women had abortions and women died in tremendous and tragic numbers. It is important to realize that abortions will always occur and it is imperative to protect the lives of the people of this country. It is imperative to ensure that all women will have access to safe health care and not doing so is simply turning your back on the people who live in this country and saying that you do not care and that your religious views mean more than their lives.
It is ridiculous to assume that because of your personal morals, that you and your opinions hold more weight than 35 years of helping women live the lives that they want for themselves. That your opinions mean more than the rape and incest survivors who sought abortions and not being able to receive that health care would in turn jeopardize their lives and overall well-being. The outright arrogance that goes on in this country and in the minds of extremists who are willing to jeopardize the lives of so many women to “save” an unborn fetus is absolutely disgusting. By voting for a candidate who will do what it takes to save Roe v Wade and save the lives of so many women, you will be saying that no, women will not go back 35 years in time and that no, women do not deserve to die in the streets after receiving a botched abortion because they were that desperate not to go through 9 months of pregnancy and birth a child that is not wanted. Each and every single child should be a wanted child and by voting for a candidate who supports that, that is exactly how it will continue to be in America.
So on this 35th anniversary of Roe v Wade, we must ask ourselves, how important are the lives of women? What will we do to ensure that women will not have to resort back to back-alley abortion days?

Happy 35th year of freedom everyone!
Very good post, I am impressed! Abortion has become one of the necessities nowadays for most of the families. I am completely at your side.
This is an article from Canada's second national newspaper, the National Post. It is an article that supports using guilt and intimidation to restrict women's a pro-choice rights in Canada. It sites varies efforts in the USA by certain states where doctors are using pictures and other methods to discourage women from going through abortions.
A member of Canada's government in power – the Conservative Party of Canada – was so impressed by the article that he sent it to all the 307 other members in Canada's parliament (it is similar to the congress in the USA). The Member of Parliament (MP for short) was thanked by the newspaper two days later. The MP's name is Maurice Vellacott.
Canada's Conservative party is almost a carbon copy of the GOP. They support almost all the policies of Bush including invasion of Iraq and are anti-abortion but most Canadians are supportive of pro-choice so the Conservatives have been silent about their plans on that subject until this news article seemed to encourage them to finally reveal their plans for our country by using the efforts in the USA as examples to follow against our women's rights.
These are the links to the article and MP Vellacott's web site.
