You say you’re Pro-Choice, do you? What exactly does that mean? That you have a right to choose what happens to your body? Of course you do. It is your body after all.
I’d like to look at those choices that you have, that you work so hard to protect, and rightly so. When other people have power over your body, that is yourself they are manipulating. Your mind may run free, but if your body is controlled your mind will be right there with it trying to survive. Your right to make choices for your own body is an integral part of Freedom.
Your first choice will be – are you going to hit the sack with this guy? Of course, if he’s your husband you probably will. Whether he’s a husband, lover, or someone you just met that rings all your bells, this is where you make your first choice. Right? Let’s continue.
In case you’ve decided to mingle your energies and bodily fluids, your next choice will be – which one of you will provide the protection? Will he or will you do the honors? This is an important choice that you should consider carefully. If he’s a husband or old lover that choice may have been made long ago, but it is still a choice that had to be made. If he’s a stranger that you met on the train, then who will you trust to make that decision? This is where you make your second choice.
Let’s say you have decided to be responsible for yourself. You’ve made two choices and now another one looms before you – what kind of contraceptive will you use? Thanks to modern science you have several products from which to choose. All to help you prevent pregnancy. That, you don’t want so you make your choice and hit the sack. It all worked out rather well; you made the choices you needed to make to achieve your goal of getting laid but not getting pregnant. Congratulations!
But what if….What if you got careless, or you don’t want him to think you’re that kind of woman – as though he would care! – or some other tipsy reason, what if you find yourself in the position of having thrown all caution, and choices, to the wind? Without exercising any of your choices you allow the Law of Procreation to fulfill it’s natural function. This, too, is a choice. You leave yourself open to the Law that has kept humanity going for a million years. You have chosen to become part of that Law. With that act you became Pro-Life!
You carry inside you a new body. Are you again saying you have a right to decide what happens to your body? Of course you do, that hasn’t changed. We’ve examined the choices you had before you; they are all valid choices. The problem here was your choice to overlook any protection for yourself against the Law of the Universe – Life itself. Your choice made it possible for the Law to do exactly what the Law does – begin a new person with a new body. Do you really want a law that says you have the right to harm the tiny defenseless body that belongs to someone else? Yes, that’s right. That is not your body growing inside you; it’s the one you and your friend have given permission to come forth. Through your choice and your act the two of you invited it. It’s body belongs to itself. It has the same Freedom you have.
Being too small to make it’s own decisions you and papa share the responsibility of protecting it’s life and it’s rights. You gave it Life, can you now give it Love?
Moving in tune with the Universal Principle you became Pro-Life. You allowed another life to begin, as it was allowed for you. Congratulations!
