elynne talked briefly about why she's pro-choice, as in "pro-reproductive choice". I commented on my reasons, and figured I should put them up here as well.
I'm pro-choice because I believe that sex is not sinful, and pregnancy should not be a punishment.
The only reason I can figure for denial/non-coverage of simple contraceptives is in a misguided effort to create "consequences" which punish innocent (including newborn) bystanders, as a result of a perfectly natural and healthy activity.
Say what you want about the moral position of abortion itself. I'm pro-contraceptive, and that makes me pro-choice by definition.
