Statement of Principles
This web site is Pro-Choice, Pro-Life and Pro-Reproductive Restraint.
Pro-Choice: Every woman deserves the right to control her own body. No woman should be forced to bear a child she does not want. No woman should be sterilized against her will. The right to a safe, legal abortion is a basic human right.
Pro-Life: Our capacity for reproduction must be respected. While there is no right to life for fetuses that cannot survive on their own outside a woman's womb, their lives must be honored in some way when taken out of necessity. Death is a part of life and the truly Pro-Life position on abortion recognizes that birth control and abortion are far more ethical than the war, extinction and starvation that result from too many people.
Pro-Restraint: Reproductive Restraint is an absolute necessity for humankind. We are so successful as a species that we have nearly eliminated the larger animals that were our natural predators. Even the worst germs and viruses are not stopping population growth. The only way to keep our numbers down is through Reproductive Restraint. It is either that or war and starvation. Reproductive Restraint should not involve physical coercion but rather moral persuasion.
This quote from Margaret Sanger reminds us of the inhumanity and horror of the consequences of the so-called "pro-life" position that forces women to bear unwanted children:
Upon woman the burden and the horrors of war are heaviest. Her heart is the hardest wrung when the husband or the son comes home to be buried or to live a shattered wreck. Upon her devolve the extra tasks of filling out the ranks of workers in the war industries, in addition to caring for the children and replenishing the war-diminished population. Hers is the crushing weight and the sickening of soul. And it is out of her womb that those things proceed. When she sees what lies behind the glory and the horror, the boasting and the burden, and gets the vision, the human perspective, she will end war. She will kill war by the simple process of starving it to death. For she will refuse longer to produce the human food upon which the monster feeds.
-- Margaret Sanger
