Pro-Choice or Pro-Abortion?

When did pro-choice become pro-abortion? And why? Isn't touting pro abortion akin to touting pro-amputation? Wherever you stand, the personal choice is heart wrenching and it is a sad day for all. Why have we elevated this heartbreaking medical procedure to a celebration? I even heard that there were abortion doctors stationed in medical vehicles at the DNC. Is it really necessary to celebrate this procedure as though it were Christmas?

 

It's become too politicized. Abortions should be rare, but liberals have morphed it into a political sword.

 

I'm really at odds with the selfish attitude that puts the "right to not be inconvenienced by a baby's life" ahead of the baby's "right to life".

 

I just seriously would like someone to explain to me how this has become such a celebrated event in the last year or so….. Celebrating abortion has a very dark morbidity to it that has no place in civilized society. None at all.

 

Oh, that’s easy, MD.

This is an election year, and the political power of the Democrat Party is once again in jeopardy.

Funny, how this isn’t an every day issue, and it is an every election issue. The women don’t realize they’re being worked into a frothy, unsustainable boil by the DNC . . . Just in time to cast their vote . . . and then be forgotten again.

 

I think it's because about more than just abortion, it's about women's autonomy. Their right to healthcare, privacy, and gender equality. As you say, it's a heart wrenching personal choice for all involved. Women have a right to have a say in that "personal" choice though, not the state. which is why it's such a powerful issue.

 

Yeah, we all have a right to choose what affects us and not others.

Choosing abortion affects another . . .

 

So does choosing not abortion. Why does the state get to mandate that choice. Even MD in the op called abortion a "personal choice"

How is it a personal choice when that autonomy is ripped away by the state?

 

You’re completely missing the point. Simply because it is a choice affecting another, IT IS NOT A PERSONAL CHOICE!

 

As I'm sure you know, you're operating from an assumption that there is 'another' in the equation. Which I recognize as your personal belief. So could I then assume you're advocating for outlawing all abortion no matter what?

 

We’ve covered that ground before, and you know I don’t take the same stand in cases of incest, rape or when the mother’s survival is jeopardized by the pregnancy.

Abortions of convenience are an entirely different story. Let’s stay on subject.

 

Mother's survival I understand in your worldview, but if you truly believe abortion is taking of a human life (a murder) how can you justify that in cases of rape and incest?

 

You are correct, it is about morals, selfishness, and indulgence. It's inconvenient to carry a baby to birth and giving it away - better to kill it. After all, it's only a bunch of cells and there is no such thing as a soul for liberal Atheists.' Am I right Gene?

BTW, have you cancelled my vote yet?

 

That would be the right thing to do however extreme it is.

 

Again, you re-tread a tired path . . . The circumstances in those cases were thrust upon the mother, and not of her own volition. Like the puns?

 

Why does that mean she gets to do a murder? If that's actually how you view it.

 

Tough question, but let's not drift from my first post . . . Did I specifically call abortion murder, or did I call it a selfish act?

 

So this is the next iteration of the burn your bra movement? As I understand it, there has been an increase in the number of abortions since the repeal of Roe V. Wade. I cannot verify that. Just what I have heard the pundits say. This isn't a make or break issue to me. I was in favor of the appeal simply because abortion has no place in federal legislation. It is a decision for a woman, her God and her doctor. Not the Fed. And that decision still exists..... So why the glorification of the procedure as though it were anything other than a trumped up political non-issue?

 

I assumed, correct me if I'm wrong, you might call it a murder because you keep referring to "another" involved and how it's not a personal choice.

Essentially, yeah.

I agree, but that is exactly what Roe did. Repealing it allowed the government to have a say.

 

BS....BS....BS....BS.....ad infinitum.
