For Trust Women Week

I had to join the online march for Trust Women Week (best explained here: http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2012/01/20/trust-women-online-march/), as I figure I can put my pro-choice attitude and words where it matters.

I trust women, and I vote.

I trust women, and I believe that no one should be forced to or not to have a child.

I trust women as I would want to be trusted with decisions about my own life.

I trust women, as I know I could never, ever understand what led someone to their decision and that my choice might not necessarily be the same as theirs.

I trust women because likewise, I would never impose my own lifestyle on others.

I trust women because I don't ever want anyone to feel as though they can no longer control their own bodies.

I trust women because I believe as Beverly Smith said, "The right to choose can be a woman's right to life."

I will always and forever trust women.

And as a woman, I demand to be trusted as well.
