What better way to celebrate the anniversary of Roe v. Wade than with a look at a few of the pro-choice voices out there. To see all of the bloggers who have signed up to Blog for Choice today, click here.

Meli's Diner:

I believe that women are smart, beautiful, and capable of whatever they want. I believe a woman’s choices are difficult, heartbreaking, but they must be their own. I believe we must protect women’s choices and women’s rights.

Put on your Big Girl Panites and Deal with it...

That is how I can sit at this computer 7 months pregnant with a child I consider to be a medical miracle and tell you that I am, in fact, pro choice. I have faced the very real possibility of having to make that choice. I recognize and am thankful every day for the incredible luxury life affords me, and that so many of us take for granted.

Blue Door:

Here's the thing about the whole abortion thing: it's nobody's business but the woman's. My opinion on the "issue" matters exactly zip-point-nothing, and neither does anyone else's who's not in the crisis of an unintended or unwanted pregnancy.

Too bad the government doesn't realize this.

A Girl's Guide to the Universe & Other Misadventures:

I have never known life without Roe V. Wade. I and never want to...
To me the right to choose has to do with a GREAT DEAL more than just abortion. It goes to the very core of women's rights and on a larger scale personal freedoms for everyone.

Mamazine:

Blogging for Choice might seem like an odd thing for a mama of three kids to do, at least to some. But it's not, really. I had the right to choose not to have a baby at eighteen. That choice allowed me to be the mother I am to my children. For me, delaying motherhood until I was 28, in a committed relationship, and in a relatively secure place financially was the right choice.

ThreadingWater:

A woman facing a decision that is more self-preservation than a matter of ‘choice’ is entitled to receive health information from her physician, drug information from her local pharmacy and spiritual counseling from her church. 

This isn’t a choice, it’s a right.     

Shel's Pond:

Even now, my available choices depend what state I live in. There's apparently no correlation between my available choices in a particular state and the amount resources that state devotes to pre-natal care, housing support, health insurance, food stamps, school funding, or quality child care.

Various and Random:

My wish today is that whatever you think about abortion and all of the many aspects of that issue and the many more related issues, is that no one would ever trample upon or take away your right to make your own decisions about your body, your life, and your destiny. My thoughts today are with the people who worked to ensure this right in the past, the people who continue that work today, and the women who died from illegal abortions.

Mad Melancholic Feminista:

My mother's commitment to women's health and her compassion for all women's stories has inspired me to write this blog entry on the 33rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. I am thankful that my mom was given a safe and legal abortion so that she could be the inspring mother towards my brother and I that she was.

Lauriemk:

I started actively supporting pro-choice organizations when I was at home in Missouri one summer, and due to some court cases presented by anti-abortion groups, all abortion clinics in Missouri shut down for a few days.  It all of a sudden hit me that this option I had had my whole life, of the possibility of having an abortion if I needed it, was gone.  It was a strange feeling.  I think in a way I took legal abortion for granted, as it has been around my whole life.  This experience, though, gave me a small glimpse into what it would be like to not have that option and it was scary.
