Your best choice... is a choice.
A great many people equate "choice" and "reproductive healthcare" with abortion - and they are wrong. Reproductive healthcare includes pap smears, pelvics, birth control...and prostate exams. Reproductive healthcare is for everyone, even women in menopause. Did you know that HPV, the human pappillovirus that causes cervical cancer, can lay dormant for years and then activate itself and possibly become a pre-cancerous lesion? What would happen if a group of people decided that getting a pap smear (which can catch those pre-cancerous cells) is against their morals and they try to stop girls from getting checked?

Reproductive healthcare is for everyone. And everyone should have a choice.
