Freeom of Choice

I was watching Entertainment Tonight recently. They were featuring starlets in Hollywood who may have possibly had plastic surgery done.   They weren't necessarily criticizing them or condoning it, but drawing attention to it.  They were in a sense "calling out" a woman's choice.

North Dakota has just passed some of the nations toughest anti-abortion laws in the country, essentially taking away a woman's choice.

It's no secret that I'm independent and a liberal thinker. I follow no one political party.  I don't want anyone deciding for me what is best for me.   I believe in the right to have the freedom of choice, in all things, but especially what happens with my own body.

I will always listen to opinions and concerns. I will even ask you what you are thinking when I have a decision to make.  Ultimately it is my choice.

That choice extends to whether I color my hair five shades of red or shave my head, pierce my nose, belly button, get a tattoo redone or get 10 of them, exercise (or don't), teach yoga (or don't), diet (or don't), have an abortion (or don't), work (or don't), drink (or don't), have a medical procedure (or don't),...and the list goes on and on.

It's MY body, it's MY choice.  If I make a decision that angers you, I'm sorry.  Not for angering you, but that you don't have enough respect for me to trust that I'm making the best decision for me.  If you know me, you know I give thought to what I'm doing.  I

I respect the freedom choice...mine and yours.
