After spending five years at U of C, I've gotten used to the annual Pro-Life shock displays. It's easy to sit back and come up with arguments on how they're wrong, but that's not why I'm writing this. My beef today is with the Pro-Choicers. The ones who hold up signs and get in to arguments with the Pro-Lifers. Why? You have won the battle. Canada is a Pro-Choice country. What the Pro-Lifers are doing is nothing short of beating a dead horse. Most of us are with you guys so why waste your energy arguing with delusional people who have to resort to shock displays to get attention. If you're really passionate about women's right to choose then there are much greater battles to fight. Stop arguing inane nut jobs in the cold. even though we live in a country where women can exercise their right to choose, not all of them have access to facilities and the information needed to do so. Helping women in small towns and rural areas should be the Pro-Choicer front. If anyone really wants to make a difference there are Pro-Choice organizations in Canada who would love your support. If you have time, you can volunteer for them, if not you can donate to them. Get involved cause that's a battle worth fighting. Check out the following sites for more information:
