I believe it's either anti-choice or pro-choice.

Remember: Not everyone that's pro-choice hopes the choice will be abortion. Most hope, as I do, that the choice will be to not abort.

I have no problem with being labeled anti-abortion because I am. You can call yourself pro-choice but just remember what that choice is.

Nope: the CHOICE is up to the woman who is pregnant.

He said it was about choice. I said remember what that choice is. It's the pregnant woman's choice to abort her baby but it's your (general you) choice to think that's ok.

No one celebrates when a woman decides to have an abortion. On the other hand, a woman should not be shamed for her choice.

Who said anything about celebrating? A woman should not be shamed for her decision but that doesn't mean I can't think it's wrong.

Some women ARE shamed, though.

If someone chooses to have an abortion, they really shouldn't be talking about it. It's one of those very private things. If they are dumb enough to tell people knowing that the MAJORITY of this country despises abortion, then that is on them.

I don't think it's "dumb" to tell their family and/or friends. Every woman is different.

And if those people are staunchly against abortion, they don't have to change their opinion because she decides to have one and then share.

Making murder "legal" does not somehow make it moral or right. And, people are going to stand up and fight against what is morally wrong regardless of what is "legal".

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I think it's shameful.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Well, if we want to talk about gross human rights violations we are leading the way.

But they should be able to separate their opinion from their feeling for a person who has been through an emotional experience.

Tinydancer · Guru

What does that even mean? We should just pretend it's all good because she just aborted her baby? Maybe if she wasn't having an abortion it wouldn't be so emotional for her. If I think somethings morally wrong I think it's morally wrong for a friend as well as a stranger.

Why on earth should someone have to bury their opinon b/c their friend or family member chose to do something they consider morally wrong? The "emotional experience" they just had was their own choice and doing.

Where did I say they had to "bury" their opinion? They can make their views known and still interact or even ~shudder~ comfort someone who CHOSE an abortion.

Tinydancer · Guru

That's not what you said. No one said anything about not interacting or ~shudder~ comforting someone. If choosing abortion is so heartbreaking for them maybe they know they shouldn't be doing it but don't blame that on us.

________________________________

Thinking a woman should have the right to choose what happens to and with her own body is not the same as thinking abortion is "ok". Personally I detest abortion and wish it wasn't necessary. I wish women could 100% choose when to get pregnant and when not to. I wish those ignorant Republicans were right with their idiotic assertions of "A woman has a way to shut it down if she doesn't want to get pregnant" a few years ago. But that's not the world we live in and that's not how women's bodies work.

Is abortion "ok"? No. It's not.
Is it "ok" for a woman's rights to be trampled on because I don't like them? No. It's not.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

I don't think anyone wins when someone has an abortion.
