19. Exactly this: the inalienable right to privacy
Fri May 6, 2022, 01:26 PM
May 2022

The pro-choice position does not impose its will on those who do not "believe" in abortion, or do not want to terminate a pregnancy. Women, under this system, are free to gestate, labor, and bear as many children as they like. No one is losing any freedom. No one is stripped of their rights.

Under the strictly religious objection of the forced birth agenda, held by approximately 30% of Americans, the anti-abortion position forces its *belief system* on others, and women lose their right to privacy, autonomy, and self determination. They want to impose their will on others and limit their freedom. This is tyranny.

I can't do it because my religion says so ( it doesn't, but that's adifferent post) is not the same as YOU can't do it because MY religion says so.

Women have elective abortions because 1) they do not want to be pregnant. 2) None of anyone else's business.
