Why I Am a Pro-Choice Conservative

I believe parents and students have a right to choose their own schools.

I believe I have a right to choose my own doctor and treatments. I believe I have a right to choose my own insurance coverage.

I believe I have a right to choose how I spend the fruit of my own labor.

I believe I have a right to choose to speak out against evil even when it is politically unpopular.

I believe I have a right to choose to own a firearm or not own a firearm.

I believe I have a right to choose the the best candidates for employment or promotion regardless of their melanin or chromosomes.

I believe I can choose to speak out against phony science and bad policies and not have political figures scold me by saying that “the debate is over” or “the time for talking has ended” (aka “sit down and shut up”).

I am a pro-choice conservative, but I believe no one has the right to choose which babies live and which babies die, nor (soon coming to a clinic near you) does the government have the right to decide which adults can live and which will be allowed to die.

I am pro-choice. Deal with it.
