When it comes to pro-choice slogans, we find that “my body, my choice,” is mainly known for women believing wholeheartedly that they are the masters of their own bodies and therefore, the choice of abortion is theirs to make, and should not be precluded by governmental interference, whatsoever. It should be added, that for all those who truly believe that their body, therefore provides them with the choice to do with their body what they so desire, that this then would obviously encompass many more choices than just abortion. For instance, those who claim self-ownership of their body would logically believe then that what we so choose to ingest into our body, that is either licit or illicit is our choice as well. So too, for those who determine that they no longer desire to be in this world, that choice would be theirs to own. Also, for those desiring to monetize their body by the presentation of such, or in consensual engagements with another for a monetary price or its equivalency, would own that right, too.
In other words, my body being my choice, must include the complete autonomy of that body, and the decisions that we make, good or bad, wise or unwise, that we thereupon decide to do with the body that we own is at our discretion. While society certainly has its role to play, and whereas that society is definitely entitled to weigh in as to what it believes is the best usage of our body, it does not though, trump our own individual decision-making as an adult, because as long as what we do with our body does not clearly interfere with or supersede another person’s unalienable right, then our ownership of our body trumps whatever society may seemingly prefer for us to do with it.
Indeed, this world would be better off if more people actually believed that their body was their choice, for to believe that it is not, reflects that our body is subservient to some other entity, such as the government or society, and therefore it is up to these entities to determine what we may or may not do with our body, which should clearly be seen as an infringement upon our sovereignty. That is to say, either we are the masters of our own bodies or else we are not, for there cannot be any in-between or equivocation upon this important issue.
It is vital to remember, that our existence did not come forth from our government, nor did it come forth from society, but rather all of us were created by the very same Creator, of which, that Creator has gifted each and every one of us with the free-will to be about our business, and therefore what we decide to do with our body, and the decisions that we make, is entirely within our domain and remains our lifetime responsibility. In life, people and societies are entitled to have their say, but at the end of the day, it is our body, and therefore our choice, what we will or will not do with such, and those that recognize this are the very same that understand that with this awesome freedom, comes consequences, that we are therefore the accountable owners of.
