It cedes ground to them.
They're not chipping away at abortion, they're chipping away at autonomy, basic human rights, a woman's ownership of her own body, a doctor's duty and ability to treat her patient.
All because they're pointing to the procedure itself and what it looks like. Take some gory pictures of knee surgery (or pregnancy for that matter) and people will be grossed out.
I'm tired of how they get to ignore what they're actually doing because we get distracted by having to defend the "icky sounding procedure".
I'm looking at what they're doing, and I understand the actual shit they want to put people through, and I'm saying don't concede ANY ground to them.
Don't let them make it about the procedure, that's what they want. What they're doing is more vile than that it, it's the the concession that women are not worthy of the basic human rights that we don't violate on the worst criminal, AFTER they've been executed, even that cadaver has more rights than these terrorists are grant a living woman.
It's not about the mastectomy or the D&C, it's about the fact that women are not considered human beings. Don't let them have a nanometer on THAT front, it doesn't even go into what the procedure is, it should stop at the question of autonomy that they keep insisting that girls and women do not have the basic right to.
So hell yes, be Pro-Autonomy, pro-choice, pro-bodily integrity, pro-human rights don't even get to the point where you need to specify which procedures we need to be thankful for! That's too much concession.
