America Goes Pro-Choice

I think almost everyone has heard or made some form of the following argument: "I would never personally get an abortion, but that doesn't mean that we should stop women who want to get an abortion from being allowed to get one." It's a staple for so many Americans today to cheat their way out of any abortion argument. (It's second only to "no/ my uterus, no/my opinion") So, in an effort to show both the hypocrisy and the levity that is possible in politics I present to you the top 20 arguments of Pro-Choice America!

"I would never personally own a firearm, but that doesn't mean that we should stop other people who want to own a firearm from owning one."

"I would never personally be for the death penalty, but that doesn't mean we should stop lethal injection or firing squads if other people want it."

"I would never personally want to be without government control on Wall Street, but that doesn't mean we should stop the free market and capitalism from having its place too."

"I would never personally want my child to go to a private school or be enrolled in a voucher system, but that doesn't mean we should stop other parents from having that option."

"I would never personally want to use a non-green energy car, but that doesn't mean we should stop other people from being allowed to own gas powered automobiles."

"I would never personally take down my windmill that powers my house one day every two weeks, but that doesn't mean that we should force everyone to have a windmill in their front lawn."

"I would never personally eat meat or any other animal product, but that doesn't mean we should stop other people from having chili and hamburgers at their cookouts."

"I would never personally administer euthanasia drugs to my grandma, but that doesn't mean other people shouldn't have the option to do just that."

"I would never personally stop my crusade to stop global warming, but that doesn't mean other people should have to listen to my ravings about global warming 'climate change'."

"I would never personally want the government to stop covering my healthcare, but that doesn't mean we should stop other people from getting insurance from any company they want or none at all."

"I would never personally deport or report an illegal immigrant, but that doesn't mean that we should stop other people from reporting/ deporting them."

"I would never personally use an incandescent lightbulb, but that doesn't mean we should stop other people from buying and using those."

"I would never personally stop the government from taking my land for the public good, but that doesn't mean we should stop other people from fighting for their private property."

"I would never personally pray to God in a courthouse, school or post office, but that doesn't mean we should stop other people from doing so."

"I would never personally want to keep my money that goes to Social Security, but that doesn't mean other people should have to lose that money."

"I would never personally want my tax dollars going back into my pocket so I can spend my money, but that doesn't mean we should stop my co-workers from having control of where their money goes."

"I would never personally send any tax dollars to fund a war, but that doesn't mean we should stop other people's tax dollars from going to support the military."

"I would never personally want to be cut off from the government's teat, but that doesn't mean everyone should have to live on the government safety net."

"I would never personally be against two men getting married, but that doesn't mean we should force churches to perform that ceremony."

"I would never personally leave my union, but that doesn't mean we should force everyone to join unions and pay the dues if they don't want to be in the union."
