Chelsea Clinton is pregnant, and some anti-abortion activists responded to the news Thursday by showing they don't understand what being "pro-choice" means: being able to choose to have a baby, or not.

(snip)

LifeNews didn't seem to understand Thursday how a woman who supports a person's decision to not have children could be excited about her pregnancy:

Abortion supporter Chelsea Clinton announced today that she’s pregnant — not with a fetus or clump of cells but with a “child.”

This is the same Chelsea Clinton who lamented last year that her grandmother didn’t have access to Planned Parenthood.

1. Pro-Choice is exactly pro choice, to have the opportunity to choose, to choose

The time to plan your family. I am happy for her, she seems prepared, ready and happy she is with child, I wish her the best.

2. It seems that these days

angry ignorance rules on all issues.

3. Congrats Chelsea! Don't let the haters get to you.

I hope all goes well with your pregnancy.

4. LOL these right wing assholes are so out of touch they don't understand what choice is!

I just cannot IMAGINE how it is living as a right winger believing in such ignorant POV's, with regards to: abortion, Cliven Bundy, minimum wage workers, labor unions, where Obama was born, you fucking name it!

5. They can't afford to acknowledge what choice is.

It's much easier to whip up hatred against "baby killers" than it is against "women who believe they should be able to choose when and whether to have a baby".

6. I have a planned family.

I used to wear a button that said, "Another Mother for Choice."

I had to explain that button to all kinds of dumb asses.

7. ALL women are allowed to have babies or not have babies as they see fit.

13. allowed? by whom? They have the authority and, the autonomy to do with their body

what they think is best. There is NO allowing to it. Good grief. What terminology is this.

allowed ... omg ... LOL ...

15. I did. My question remains. The terminiology is laughably offensive. n/t

16. The whole article title didn't fit well

17. My response was a comment on the terminology. You are blocked.

18. whatevs. ciao, baby!

you also said ;;;allowed;;; as if ... as if ... oh lord. allowed.

[etherealtruth]

8. Thats what choice is all about

A woman's right to self determination .... the right to choose if and/ or when to reproduce.

I love how the idiots on the right try to portray it as anything less than a woman controlling her own body in whatever way SHE chooses

[okaawhatever]

9. I had a friend who was 8 mos pregnant when we picketed/demonstrated against the anti-choice

picketers who were rallying against our local abortion provider. Her sign said "My Body, My Choice". She didn't make the best picketer though, because she had to go for a bathroom break about every 20 mins. During that time a friend of ours, a man named Steve, would hold her sign until she got back. The reporters from the local paper came out to do a story on the protesters, and the people protesting the protesters (us). You can imagine our collective surprise when we saw the photo on the front page of the paper. It was Steve holding my friends sign that read "My Body, My Choice". Even worse, Steve was a local second-grade teacher. (at least he wasn't a biology teacher).

10. "... allowed ..."

cracks me up "... allowed ..."

12. Makes you wonder how many of them would like to see the "Clinton dynasty" end.

11. These idiots can only present things in binary as a TACTIC....

Either you are a 1 or a 0. Then they take it from there. They figure since they are against "the murder of babies" we must be FOR "the murder of babies" which makes us outright EVIL.

So remember when you get into it with one of these people.

The LEADERS are doing this as a strategy. They KNOW their followers are sheep and they KNOW how to fine tune their outrage to 11.

19. Pro-choice means pro-choice, not anti-parenthood

Forced abortion or even forced childlessness is as anti-choice as forced birth. So it's not 'pro-choice = anti-birth".

Some people seem unable to understand the whole concept of people, especially women, having choices.

Plus the fact that the Right seem to have a particular phobia of anyone with the name of Clinton.
