(146,254 posts)You cannot believe that for other people, though. You cannot make abortion a crime and claim to be any sort of progressive or feminist. You may make whatever choice you wish to make for your own life. If you wish to dictate the choice of others, based on your personal choices, then you are in another category.
Reproductive choice is just that. It is a choice for each individual to make. Your wishes and beliefs apply only to you, and to you alone. Nobody will tell you that you must abort any fetus you carry in your own uterus. By the same token, you may not tell others what to believe or what they may or may not do with regard to their own reproductive capacity.
If you wish to do that, you've chosen the wrong political party and the wrong discussion forum, I think.
