The right to choose and Freewill

Written as a result of being in and reading about the current Prop 8 and Pro life issues here in California/USA

--------------------

There's alot of things in life you can't choose that affect who you are. Who you grew up with and what kind of place you grew up in. But because of Freewill, you can choose what you believe in and what to do which defines who you are. That's why dissent exist and more importantly, necessary. Some people believe abortions are wrong. Ok. Some people believe Gay Marriage is wrong. Ok. Some people believe killing a person with extenuating conditions is not wrong. Ok.

But to remove choice - such that one can't abort if one choose to or get married to whoever they both choose to - is like trying to remove a God-given-right which makes it as 'wrong' as killing someone. You removed his power to choose by ending his life. One can't make choices if one's dead, can they?

In fact, anyone can kill a person if they wanted to. The tragic beauty is that no one can remove a person’s choice to kill another person. It’s just a matter of consequences. Because this God-given-right, Freewill, exist and is for everyone - including you. Your power to choose between just believing in the ‘right’ choice or acting to remove choice is a self-proven demonstration of Freewill. And that makes anyone or group that works towards removing choice a fucking hypocrite.

The redeeming beauty is that you can exercise your Freewill to remove my choice just like how someone can exercise his or her Freewill to kill another person, but I’m still here with my Freewill to make you suffer the consequences which is to fight like fuck to get back my right to choose.
