(29,047 posts)I usually say I'm "pro choice," since many people seem to get offended when I use the term "pro abortion," but I think that's silly. I don't have to use the term "pro choice" for any other medical procedure, such as blood transfusions or flu shots. I can just say blood transfusions and flu shots are great and I'm glad they're available. "Blood transfusions should be safe, legal, and rare." Fuck all that.
That said, I think we do poorly when we use strawman arguments against anti-abortion/pro-life individuals. People who are against abortion usually hold that opinion because they view it as baby killing, and not because they want to control women or punish "sluts" or anything like that.
I'm a little bit drunk, so I hope this post makes sense.
