Why I Am Pro-Life

[wwjs]

I'm amazed that there are any Republican women at all, never mind anti-choice women.

Just goes to show you that you can always find collaborators no matter what group you target for oppression.

Collaborator is not fair way to describe them IMO. Some may oppose it only for (what they consider them to be) moral reasons.

I'm sure there are also non-religious women (although probably not Republican) who oppose abortion.

People are free to oppose anything they like. Simply understand that you are little more than a busy body trying to tell someone else how to run their life. Their decisions do not impact you in any way.

Which is what this issue about abortion is about Evangelican conservative Christians trying for force their religious views on the rest of the country

Pro-life women exist because internalised misogyny exists. Simplez.

[Something completely different]

The term "pro life" doesn`t exist here.

We refer to these people as "Abtreibungsgegner" "Opponents to abortion".

And protesting against something like this is hard here, because this society takes privacy as serious as Texans do the second amendment and harasing people at clinics is considered by most to be a violation of privacy.

I'm amazed that there are any non-religious people who are anti-choice, at least any who stay that way for long.

I was for a short time. Then I learned some basic things about fetal development and realized there's no there, there. It's only with religious indoctrination and a belief that there's a mystical soul that occupies that collection of cells that you can believe that's a person with rights to life. Without the supernatural crap, that center can't hold.

My opinion is completely based upon science. A human being exists from conception, and moral choices apply.

And who is to decide what those choices are? You? Or the women most affected by them?

[fr0d0]

I would say that the woman is best placed.

Are you saying that science would say that isn't her decision?

I'm saying that it is her decision and ONLY her decision. And, whatever you may think of the science, it doesn't say what you apparently think it says. Science and your opinion aren't necessarily the same thing.

IMO, logically speaking, regardless of what you think of abortion, you should still be pro-abortion when it comes to the law, because abortion goes on whether you like it or not, except now less people die for it. Unless you think people should risk death if they attempt abortion. In which case I think you're rather sick.
