They want to make contraception illegal as well. Why do we need to concede all these things?
Being pro-choice is not being "pro-abortion". That's the terminology they use to demonize us, and attack us. Do we really care that much WHAT procedure or medication they wish to decide to make illegal, or are we about destroying the basis of their argument: that women are not human beings worthy of basic human rights?
I'm saying do not give them the ground at all. I don't care what these terrorists want to be illegal, since that's a huge list, from comprehensive sex education, to effective contraception to affordable care.
These are not reasonable people, reject the basis of their argument, that they have the right to violate the basic human rights of women for whatever reason or fairy tale they concoct.
It isn't about a D&C or an abortifacient, or contraceptive, or whatever it is they wish to attack on, it's about reject as a whole that it's even up for debate that a woman has basic rights to her bodily integrity, to autonomy or to access to medical care, no matter what that specific care is.
I'm tired of them spelling out all the positions and the terminology, when while pretending they're not anti-life, anti-choice, and not terribly pro-fetus, pro-pregnancy or even anti-abortion, since their policies do not in anyway reduce abortion.
The way we do that is to make every pregnancy a WANTED one, and to address all the reasons that make abortion a painful decision for women (the health reasons, the job reasons, the financial reasons etc. etc. etc.)
It should be no more anyone's business than any other medical procedure, be it elective or emergent.
