I am becoming so ashamed of some members of my sex. I support women’s rights. I am pro choice in that I believe women do have the right to choice but in that right comes responsibility and the taking of an infant’s life should not be a trip to the grocery store and stopping by an abortion clinic. The right of choice also means control of your body by taking measures to PREVENT pregnancy, not the free use of sex without protection and then destroying the resulting baby because you were too inconsiderate of yourself, your life and the life of another. I do not want to see women returned to the clotheshanger days of old but I do want women to teach responsibility of actions to their daughters so we don’t continue chopping up babies at a whim. There certainly are extenuating circumstances that may result in a needed abortion but abortion should never be used as a means of birth control. Those are my personal feelings. I believe in equal rights, equal pay, equal opportunities for all women. However, I also believe that these belligerant, hostile women who have sprung up saying they represent all women is a direct insult to me and those like me. These women have lost the softness of a woman, the class of a woman, the beauty of a woman. I don’t want them saying anything in the name of womanhood that is offensive, mean, nasty, immoral, classless and attribute it to ‘the women’s cause’. They, quite frankly, are embarrasing and, in NO WAY, represent me.

I would say that these females have lost the strength of a woman. My five-foot two-and-one-quarter-inch mother was able to influence (some might say control) two six-foot-plus boys and a six-two husband without resorting to intimidation and verbal ugliness. She did so because she was certain of herself - sure in her femininity and understanding of right-versus-wrong.
I'd better stop ranting - I think I may be slipping into incoherence!! LOL Thank you, at any rate, for expressing your viewpoint without the hatred that so often accompanies pro-choice.
You actually present your views in a thoughtful manner, and are willing to consider opposing viewpoints. You will be respected because of your presentation.
At one time, back in the days of Kennedy versus Nixon, one could make a choice for president that didn’t involve hysteria. By the end of Watergate, the liberals believed they were not only right and moral, but entitled to power, and further believed that using whatever means necessary to win or destroy their opponents was justified by their proper and moral ideology.
That’s what we see today.
