For this piece I will be referring to "pro-life" as "anti-choice" because let's face it, none of us are against life, that's a fallacy that's used to manipulate people and make the pro-choice movement come off as immoral and "anti-life" which is bullshit.
The difference between the two views is this: No one is going to force someone who believes life begins at conception to get an abortion (or at this point even perform an abortion), but by trying to make their beliefs legislation they are literally forcing their beliefs on everyone, forcing their belief that life begins at conception and their religious values onto the rest of the country. So much so that they attempt legislation that would prevent a pro-choice doctor from performing abortions, even those that are medically necessary.
We hear so much about anti-choice doctor's rights, that they should be allowed to morally object to giving abortions, but yet these same people have zero problem trying to pass legislation that would prevent a pro-choice doctor from doing something he feels is morally just. So anti-choice doctors should get the choice whether or not to perform an abortion but a pro-choice doctor isn't given the same right. Fan fucking tastic.
Their morals mean more than our morals apparently, and it's that sort of hypocrisy that I can't stomach.
Want to add (thank you Katie :D):
Pro-Choice does not mean you are pro-abortion, or that you don't believe that life begins at conception, it means that you believe in the woman's right to choose.

ReplyDeleteWhere do I fit in?

That definitely makes you pro-choice!!! Pro-choice doesn't mean that you automatically agree with abortion, or that you don't believe that life begins at conception, it means that you support a woman's right to choose. And I LOVE this question!!! I should definitely have addressed that in the post!
