(4 posts)Conservatives would reply that 'they haven't TOUCHED women's right to cross their legs!'
But you're right that the name's wrong ... They not concerned about 'quality' life, just 'quantity' (no matter how much of it is "suffering."

(22,796 posts)I have always found the term "pro-life" to be offensive, because it implies that anyone who doesn't want abortion outlawed is "pro-death." That is just plain untrue, in addition to being sanctimonious af.
I will always believe that that term was purposely coined to make the pro-choice side look bad. That's dirty pool, and I refuse to play. I always refer to those people as anti-choice or forced birthers. Maybe I'll start calling them reproductive enslavers, because that fits, too.

(41,052 posts)As soon as you put life in a hierarchy & say one life has more value than another, all the sanctity-of-life arguments lose their validity. And we put life in a hierarchy all the time. Humans at the top, white men at the top of that group, then other men, then fetuses, & finally breathing, living women & children. We're down there with the animals.
They aren't arguing pro-life or right-to-life. They're demanding that we accept their religious-based hierarchy of life over our reason-based hierarchy of life. Fuck 'em. Every single GD one of them.
