(90,762 posts)Yes. I get what you're trying to say.
But it's wrong on all levels. Labeling women as a survivor of abortion plays right into the hands of those who like to claim abortion is somehow a bad thing. Something to be ashamed of and something horrible that happens to women.
Women want and need abortions for all kinds of reasons - to include because they can. Because they can and because they want it is ALL the reason a woman needs.
But the why of a woman's abortion is none of anyone's business. None. Not even a little. No need to come up with a series of horrible events in an attempt to justify why a woman has an abortion.
We know the various reasons without relying on a crime or other unfortunate issue in hopes of softening the anti-woman stance toward abortion. That plays into their hands and their framing, and gives them the power.
The anti-woman crowd don't give a fuck if a woman is the victim of anything - all they care about is punishing the woman and controlling the woman.
So, no.
No.No.No.
