Pro Choice? Choice? Really? Well, Here’s Your Chance To Prove it!

When Democrats say they are ‘Pro-Choice’ what they mean is defending a woman’s “right” to have an abortion.  That’s the choice.

They have no interest in funding abstinence programs, so sex seems inevitable.  Sex, no matter how much taxpayer funded contraception you provide, will always result in more unwanted or accidental pregnancies than not having sex.   And while these “mothers” could consider the adoption option this is not seriously considered as a choice when the word choice is exercised by Democrats.  That leaves abortion or motherhood but is motherhood really a choice?

I concede that I have a pre-conceived notion about the Democrats Orwellian redefinition of the word ‘choice.’  I am also willing to entertain the idea that my “notion” might be ill conceived.  All New Hampshire Democrats would need do is to prove  that a woman’s right to choose to have her baby is worthy of the same legal protection as the so-called right to abortion that they demand.

As it turns out, the 2014 New Hampshire legislative session will give them a chance to prove me wrong.

New Hampshire house rep Leon Rideout has introduced a bill that would recognize a woman’s choice to have her baby as a legal choice worthy of protection by the state.  HB1503-FN would provide that a fetus shall be included in the definition of “another” for the purpose of first and second degree murder, manslaughter, negligent homicide, and causing or aiding suicide.

Now, before you lefties get your forceps in an uproar…

Nothing in this section or RSA 630:1-b, RSA 630:2, RSA 630:3, or RSA 630:4 shall apply to any act committed by the woman pregnant with the fetus, to any medical procedure, including abortion, performed by a physician or other licensed medical professional at the request of the pregnant woman or her legal guardian, or to the lawful dispensation or administration of lawfully prescribed medication.

Abortion, medical or chemical, is not addressed here.  This bill would acknowledge that if a woman chooses to have her baby and that baby is killed at the result of an act of murder, negligent homicide, or the causing or aiding in suicide, that the baby is entitled to the same rights as the mother in regard to legal action.

I know.  Democrats wont like it.  Governor Hassan is already tip-toeing around it with great caution.  The Democrat controlled New Hampshire House, first in committee and then on the floor, may contort itself into any number of positions to keep this form reaching her desk.  But to do that, they must vote and to vote against it sends the message the only choice they are willing to legally defend is the one where the woman kills the baby through a medical or chemical abortion.  If they choose to keep the child and the baby dies as a result of an “unlawful” act, that death is nothing more than a statutory abortion against the mothers will.

Democrats would be clarifying that “Choice” is abortion by any means, even against the mothers will, up until she has the baby in her arms (and there is even debate on the left that suggests that this is not too late to end that life.)

I’d like to think that New Hampshire Democrats are not that crass or narrow minded. It would be refreshing to see them stand up for women who choose to to keep their children. I’m just not sure if they have it in them.
