Pro-Choice or Pro-Abortion?
Do you really support the right of women to choose what to do with their own bodies?
Published on April 4, 2004 By messybuu In Politics

When one speaks of abortion, the common argument from pro-choicers is that since the fetus is inside a woman's body, only she should decide whether or not she wants to keep it. After all, it would be wrong for us to tell a woman what to do with her own body. However, are pro-choicers really pro-choice or just pro-abortion? Find out if you're really pro-choice or willing to take away a woman's choice with this fancy quiz I designed!

Pro-Choice or Pro-Abortion?
Simply decide whether or not you agree with the following statements.

1. Women should have the right to have abortions if they so desire.
2. Women should have the right to have their brother's or father's child.
3. Women should have the right to genetically engineer the fetus inside them to their liking.
4. Women should have the right to take as many drugs as they desire while they are pregnant.
5. Women should have the right to stab the area in which the womb resides while they are pregnant. IGNORE THIS STATEMENT
6. Women should have the right to have an abortion performed by a shady unlicensed abortionist.
7. Women should have the right to drive an ice pick through the head of a fetus from her body.

Wasn't that easy? If you agreed with every statement, then congratulations! You do honestly believe that women should have sole control over their bodies, and for that, you earn my respect. However, if you disagreed with any statement, then you are a hypocrite that would happily steal a woman's right over her own body to promote your own agenda.

psychx: Well, it's one thing to support women's right to have an abortion, but for people to say that they are for women's choice and not to support women's choice no matter how insane it might seem, or how much it might be playing God, that's not pro-choice at all. What I'm saying is that women should be able to do with their bodies whatever they desire, even clone themselves or their fetus, do whatever they want with an aborted fetus, etc.

The thing is, the choice that "pro-choice" people support is the ability to choose about having an abortion.

So when they say that the government has no right telling women what to do with their own body, they're only talking about abortion, meaning it might be all right for the government to tell women what to do with their own body otherwise?

The interesting thing, stabbing oneself is considered Suicide, which is against the law because the state has the responsibility to protect it's citizens, if even from themselves.

But, and this is to forestall the next question, the state has determined that a fetus before a certain stage of development is not a person, therefore it's simply a surgical procedure, like removing an appendix.

Even if it's not meant to kill oneself though? Just self-mutilating?

Isn't the proper terminology: "pro-choice" and "anti-choice"?

And who is to say whether it is just "self-mutilation"? Stabbing oneself in the stomach, is not like getting a tatoo. If you stab yourself in the stomach you will bleed to death unless you get medical attention.

It's quite simple really. The first choice that needs to be made is: "Do I want this fetus to grow into a person". Pro-choice means giving women the right to make that decision.
The other questions you ask deal with: "If I chose that this fetus will become a baby, do I have the right to do things that will harm its' future well-being?" A very different matter altogether. I think one of the basics of our society is that we are all free do do as we please, as long as we don't harm someone elses interests. If a woman choses to have a baby, she is bound to take the wellbeing of that baby into consideration.

So in other words, your initial post is garbage.

Abortion is murder plain and simple. A recent article that was widely reported last week had one doctor who was complaining that the Unborn Victims of Violence Act could be used against abortion rights. He gave evidence including this statement:

"Carhart said at least once a month, an entire fetus is expelled from the mother during a D&E he is performing. "The fetuses are alive at the time of delivery," he said. There is a heartbeat "very frequently." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,115874,00.html

I find it pathetic that so many have embraced our throw away society to the point that someone else must die because of a mistake they made.

However, the passage of Laci and Connor's Law changes that across the nation.....which will, no doubt, open a whole OTHER can of worms.

No, it doesn't change it across the nation. A fetus is still not a person, the law simply states it is a more heinous crime to harm a pregnant woman.
