In reply to the discussion: I am pro-abortion, not just pro-choice: 10 reasons why we must support the procedure and the choice [View all]enlightenment
(8,830 posts)I've never understood why we need to dance around this issue, as if we are afraid of the word abortion. Frankly, it comes down to a very simple idea. You either agree or disagree with the deliberate termination of a pregnancy.
You are either for it or against it. All of the nuance and parsing and "well, but" or "yes, until" addenda in the world are meaningless. You support abortion or you don't. Full stop.
Why and when a woman chooses to abort is irrelevant to the position someone else takes. The moment someone who claims to be "pro-choice" says that limits aren't wrong, they move to the other side of the line, whether they think so or not.
The only choice is between a woman and her medical provider. If she includes someone else in that process, that's part of her choice.
That woman's choice is not for me to decide. My only choice is to support abortion or not.
I support abortion.
