'Persons' can overturn Roe v Wade
1 comment:
I just posted a response to "'Persons' Can Overturn Roe v. Wade", although the blog is moderated and there's a chance they won't let it through (not because of any profanity, etc. but because of my pro-choice argument).
Here's what I said:
The choice to to frame the anti-abortion movement as a "right-to-life" cause is very paradoxical, because the life that anti-abortionists choose to protect is that of the fetus, although the point when life begins in the womb is an uncertainty to the majority of people.
However, a woman old enough to reproduce is, very clearly, an autonomous, independent being with a life she is currently living. What about her "right-to-life"? Would not an unwanted pregnancy she was forced to carry to term greatly alter her life and the goals, dreams, and desires she has made for herself? Or what if she, having no safe and legal recourse, chooses to undergo a clandestine abortion, and suffers severe injuries or death as a result? Either way, her life would be negatively altered in a fundamental way. Strange that the anti-abortionists value her life so much less than the one that has yet to become part of the world.
