I see what you are doing here. And I believe you are on the side of women having autonomy over their own bodies.
However, I would not want there to be any confusion about which side I'm on. I think a day in front of an abortion clinic with an active group of Pro-lifers would make you wish to keep those words out of your mouth.
Is there anyone left who doesn't know how far the pro-lifers are willing to go? They put their money into CPCs that trick women into believing they are receiving reproductive health care when their goal is to prey on a woman's vulnerability. They use dishonest tactics to delay a woman's path towards abortion in hopes they can stall the process until it is problematical Or until it is so expensive it's not an option. Or until the state laws will mean it's not an option.
Here is an op-ed concerning the Pro-Life Movement's attempts to confuse by linking abortion rights to eugenics:
I wouldn't want the words pro-life to come out of my mouth for fear that there be any mistake of my alignment. We need to come to terms with the truth that women have abortions for all kinds of reasons. What should be normative and personal is now something we are having to fight about. Again!
I think we are better off following a path of destigmatizing abortion by putting the word abortion into our vocabularies. Choice is choice and it is the recognized verbiage of the movement because right now our rights are being compromised. Our choice is being compromised.
If you want to help, the single best way is to fund abortion. There are abortion funds in most states.
