I need to speak up to defend the many precious lives that have been taken. What is appalling is the innocent lives that are taken because women fail to choose abstaining or using adequate birth control to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

What is appalling is the selfish desire for one’s own best interest over the life of a human being.

Personal choice should never involve taking the life of another except when one’s own life is threatened.

We all need to be wiser and responsible for personal choices, but never replace a life using personal choice as a right.
