Liberals proudly wave the “Pro-Choice” banner, mainly to tout their “I’m for the right to choose” rhetoric, which is odd to me because in reality most liberals are anti-choice in many ways.

Let’s examine a few areas that I’m pro-choice, whereas liberals (mostly) are not:

  • The right to own a gun, carry it concealed, and across state borders, to defend my family and those around me
  • The right to decide my own health care provider, not be forced to pay for health care I don’t want, or for my smoking, drinking, obese neighbor’s health care
  • The right to wear a seat belt in the car when I’m driving alone (I think you’re an idiot if you don’t wear a seat belt, but it should be by choice)
  • The right to wear no helmet on a motorcycle
  • The right to eat Trans fats if I really want to
  • The right to pay fewer taxes and give my money to charity instead of being forced to pay for social things in ways I disagree
  • The right to drive a Hummer or Suburban or Escalade if I want to
  • The right to opt-out of Social Security and save my own money for my family; not only will I not have a negative rate of return like SSA will give me, I’ll be relatively wealthy and able to share more blessings with the poor than the SSA would have done
  • The right to choose which school I send my kids, without needing to be wealthy enough to send them to private school

I do not believe, however, that a woman has the right to abort a pregnancy because in doing so she is killing an unborn baby. It is simply wrong.
