Pro-Choice in the Military

Message June Werdlow Rogers

She is a soldier.

She took an oath to serve her country in the finest military force in the world.

Her commitment to defend means she must be physically and mentally strong.

She denies herself.

She eats the right food.

She exercises intensely.

She is a good soldier, now carrying a new life.

She can no longer deny herself.

Her unborn baby dictates what she eats, and how she exercises.

She can be an active soldier. She can be pregnant.

Just not at the same time.

She has regrets, not anguish, for she has already chosen.

When she volunteered, she knew of the obligation to be physically able for missions.

Alas, her choice to be pregnant countermands her choice to be a solder.

No need for a court-martial.
