Is Pro Choice always the Right Choice?

In a world where issues divide societies and plague our moral conscience, many seek to try and decide how to enact mutually acceptable compromises that will satisfy both parties.  In many instances, when an issue divides a society, the compromise that many propose is the "Pro-Choice" compromise.  In this, they simply assert that every individual has the right to make their own conscience decision on what they should do, and it's best to just leave it at that.  However, is that always the right choice?  Let us take the issue of slavery as an example.  



In the mid 19th century, the issue of slavery was coming to the forefront of America politics.  This issue was being debated over by states, Congress, even the Supreme Court.  Many of those in the Democratic Party supported what we would call the "Pro Choice" compromise, in which each state or even community makes their own decision over whether or not to have slaves.  However, one must ask, would our society today agree with this viewpoint?  The answer is no.  There are some issues in our world that should not be settled with the "Pro-Choice" compromise.  There are some moral absolutes in our world.  Atrocities like rape, murder, and kidnapping must be made illegal, regardless of what area of the country we live in for a simple reason, it's wrong.  

Now in the 19th century, many protested abolishing slavery, using arguments like "It's an economic necessity, it will do more harm than good to abolish it, they're not fully human anyway, it's too difficult to initiate such a drastic change."  Well, when you use points like this to defend an inhumane practice, maybe you need to take a long look at your society and start accepting that fact that we need to start changing the way we act, and the way we think.  Sometimes it's easier to be "Pro Choice," but there are times when we need to stop being "Pro Choice," and start being "Right Choice."
