Pro-abortion because it's an abortion, not a "choice".It is a choice— the choice of whether or not to reproduce. The pro-choice movement started as a coalition of white women who wanted the right to an abortion and black women who wanted the right to not have abortions or sterilisations performed on them against their will. The entire basis of the pro-choice position is that the right to bodily autonomy is absolute and applies to women as well as men— women own their bodies, and therefore have the right to choose what happens to and in them. How is it sexist to support abortion? I just think the man deserves some say in the matter too. Your sexist lack of self-awareness is so glaring I think I'm going to be blinded. OK, let's see if I can explain this in terms simple enough for you to comprehend. On the abortion "issue," there are two sides. The pro-choice side believes that women are people who have a right to control their own bodies, and therefore should have the right to decide whether or not to have an abortion. The anti-choice side (which calls itself the "pro-life" side) believes that women are property and that men have the right to control their bodies, and therefore men should have the right to decide whether or not the women they "own" will have an abortion. Your position appears to line up with the latter side. The only distinction is that you're willing to state your actual belief out loud— most anti-choicers pretend they actually think abortion is inherently bad in and of itself because they know explicitly advocating male ownership of female bodies is not going to win them a lot of support. |
