(33,982 posts)you fucking bet I identify as pro-abortion, because it needs to be actively defended if it is to remain a safe legal option for any variety of reasons a woman might choose it.
If they weren't pushing to strip it from society, to outlaw it, then I wouldn't have to be 'pro' anything, and it would just be a thing that people may choose if it fits their circumstance.
Not only that, but most pro-lifers ALSO work to instill abstinence only education, which has about the same failure rate as prayer. They work to restrict contraceptives. No plan B. Work to promulgate this ridiculous social stigma on sex outside the archetype of marriage they personally approve of and nothing else, etc. They actually work to make the need for abortion, to address expanded circumstances, more likely.
Until they back off, I'm pro-abortion.
When the war is over, I'll just be me and that's fine.
