supporters of abortion, which as we all know, is completely not even relevant to the idea that a woman deserves choice, which is basically what the side actually is. The pro-choice argument, from what I’m aware is that it matters very little what individuals think is right or wrong, but what the woman carrying the fetus decides must be respected. How do you feel about this mis guided view of pro-choice? Personally I find it completely frustrating that people think we’re these monsters who kill babies. And that pro-lifers are saving lives and making the world more humane. It enrages me that because of the false information people potentially see pro-choicers are murderers. (Also a lot of people who claim to be pro-choice aren’t even aware of the complete meaning of the term, which just makes it worse). I don’t know. What do you think? (Sorry bout the huge message)
I agree with you completely. It’s frustrating that people are so misinformed on an issue that can literally mean life or death for someone, not just the fetus. For them it’s a matter of life or death, but only for the fetus, they could careless about the host. For us on the pro-choice side, it’s a matter of life or death for not only the fetus, but especially for the host.
I have to admit, when I was in high school, I tried to convince a girl my age to get an abortion because she was so young. I realize now that was completely wrong of me and the decision, regardless of how I felt, was up to her and not me. So back then, I might have been more what they call pro-abortion, than pro-choice, especially in situations like hers. As I’ve grown up, experienced my own abortion, and became more educated on the subject, I realize the importance of choice. Now my stance is exactly what you said, that regardless if we agree or disagree with circumstances or choices, it doesn’t matter. What matters is that the impregnated person decides for themselves what’s right for them.
It scares me that republicans have not only convinced themselves that abortion is wrong under all circumstances, but they’ve convinced the masses as well. They’ve used propaganda to manipulate the ignorant, who were probably apathetic or complacent on the issue initially, but who’ve then turned to places like Operation Rescue and www.abortiondocs.com who have their fellow “pro-lifers” stalk abortion doctors, their families, their staff etc. It’s ironic the things they’ll do in the “name of life” yet, they don’t have lives of their own.
Everything republicans do frightens me. Whether it be issues with abortion or immigration or socialism or racism or homophobia etc. They legislate based on their “biblical values” but all that translates to me is fear. Not only fear from their end (fear of blacks, mexicans, muslims, gays, trans, people making decisions about their own bodies, poor people etc) but their legislation will put fear into the people who they’re afraid of themselves. Not just fear of a world that doesn’t correspond to their ideology (which is republicans #1 fear), but that because blacks, gays, trans, mexicans, muslims, women, poor people etc don’t fit into republican ideology, now those people fear for their lives.
Life is precious, unless you don’t fit into republican ideology, then they’ll legislate shit to make your life a living hell.
