I am anti-choice

 I am against the choice of a man to drink and drive.

I am against the choice of anybody to take illicit substances.

As a man who has experienced the temptation of suicide, I'm damned glad that it was illegal at the time, and I'm against the choice for euthanasia.

I'm against the choice for war.

I'm against the choice to sit in a hotel room and spray bullets down at random at a crowd at a jazz festival.

I am indeed against choice for abortion.

I am not against using a caesarian when a woman can no longer medically maintain a pregnancy, as long as *every effort is made to also save the child*, EVEN WHEN all current science says the child can't be saved. But that operation is NEVER by choice- only by triage. A pregnant woman is TWO patients, not one, and both need to be respected, and that is what a personhood amendment correctly written, will bring about.

So yes, I am anti-choice.

But it goes further than that.

I'm against the choice to underpay a worker.

I'm against the choice to fail to feed somebody when you could make a difference.

I'm against the choice to have a 2nd vacation home while there is still somebody sleeping in the street.

I'm against the choice to charge high interest rates because you don't like the color of a person's skin, or fail to extend credit for home ownership because too many of the neighbors are dark.

I'm against a lot of choices. And I think the history of these untied states, has proven beyond any shadow of doubt that when you give a human being the capability to be immoral and harm their neighbor, they will.

And that is why we need a Personhood Amendment, regardless of the outcome of this election.
