Pro-Choice is a sexist concept. It only applies to women.
Pro-Choice doesn't give you much of a choice.
Sugar coating it doesn't change the fact that the sexist term, "Pro-Choice" should be abolished and it should be replaced with what it really is, "Pro-Abortion." ;)
What you've done here is taken a side, and labeled it. You labeled your side anti-abortion. Then everyone not on your side was forced into a category of your choosing, the category you chose was pro-abortion. Look at it this way, "those are not good, must be evil" that is what you've done. Not calling abortion good or evil, just using an analogy. The problem with saying anyone not good is evil, is that it either makes neutral people evil, or it leaves them out. Well you chose not to leave the people that are for the woman's choice out, instead you lumped them into the category of pro-abortion.
This does not work logically because that then leaves the opposition to do what you did. Take a side, label it, then lump anyone not on their side into the other side. The side in opposition to the anti-abortion people named their side pro-choice. They then labeled everyone not pro-choice, pro-life. Yet you disagree to being pro-life, so something has gone wrong. Either you've been left out, or you've been lumped into a wrong category.
When we step back from the whole thing we realize there were not only two groups, there was a minimum of four.
The anti-abortion people. (let's say they were first) then there was the pro-abortion people. Then from them sprung people who had specific ties to the rights of the women and they were named the pro-life people. and the pro-choice people.
Pro-Choice is a view point saying it could go either way. Pro-Abortion or Pro-life are one-sided viewpoints, having Pro-choice lets people have 'middle-ground'. Even many 'pro-life' people have switched to 'pro-choice' after happenings like 'rape'.
I'm anti-pro-life, but not pro-abortion. Although I personally am against abortion, I don't think it's right to not allow others to have abortion. If one can't support or love their child, why bring them into a world like that? A world of hate and poverty is not a good place to be in. - This is pro-choise.
That is a typical pro-abortion response and attitude.
You have not only defended abortion by giving justifications for it.... you have also announced your opposition to anyone who wants to make abortions illegal.
You are pro-abortion.
Accept it, embrace it... look at it from another's perspective for once.
That's ironic because you're not doing that. From the perspective of a person only fighting for the woman's right to choose, whatever she may choose, we understand our side. We are pro-choice, because whether or not her means of not keeping the child is abortion we support her choice. If we look at it from your perspective we see ourselves as pro-abortion because your side has no insight into our reasoning.
Yeah, dictionaries have it right, but you don't, apparently. The definition many dictionaries give define Pro-abortion as "Wanting the legalization of abortion". In that sence I am pro-choice. Pro-choice though is stating "advocating a woman's right to control her own body (especially her right to an induced abortion)." This debate is saying "There is no such thing as Pro-Choice. There is ONLY Pro-Abortion." Pro choice is not equal to Pro-abortion.
And also, there definitions are ONLY correct when referring to the 'pro-life, pro-abortion' debate. They are not their actually definitions. The actual definitions are Pro-life: For life. All life should have the right to live and exist.
Pro-abortion: For abortion. All pregnant women should abort their children.
Not all dictionary's say this, but many do point out that the definitions are used in reference to this pro-life, pro-abortion debate. Such as thefreedictionary.com although it doesn't say it with the definition, it does go into it if you're to go into the 'references'.
So, you admit to using the dictionary definitions (for Pro & abortion) out of context to poke holes in the definitions it has for the word pro-abortion that are in the proper context.
90%+ of all words in the English dictionary is just putting together 'root' words. That said, yes, it's quite 'realistic'. Not credible. I never said it was credible.
I've already submitted saying your definition is right. -_- I don't 'fool' myself, I'm no where near that stupid. Now how about you gain some maturity? This debate isn't about me, who I am, or what applies to me, so there is no point in discussing it.
Pro-choice is a viewpoint, it doesn't matter if they have a baby inside them or not. The view is "It's up to the woman to decide what she want's to do with the baby" Or more accuretly "In some cases, depending on the situation, I think it's okay to have abortions"
I even explained in my argument pro-choice is advocating for the woman's choice, not any men sorry.
Men don't have to carry it, men don't have to let it feed of of them, they just provide half of the dna, a half that in a normal case they probably waste at least once a day, but that last bit is beside the point.
It's her body, I am for her choice to control what to do with it, not for any laws on abortion.
WHAT!?!?! Half the DNA?!?!? That's it???? How about child support until that child is 18? Yup..., a man is responsible for 18 years and women are complaining about 9 months?!?!?! Please!!!! ;)
Men should have a choice too. 50% of the DNA entitles him to 50% of the decision making. ;)
I agree with you. if a man does not want to father the child he should not have to pay. I am for the woman's right to keep the child or abort the child if she wants, just as I'm for the father's right to not pay. yet Only her right to choose is legal. It's totally unfair that he may be put into debt all of his life because a condom broke, or because he was part of a mutual agreement to have unprotected sex.
I told you my view. Maybe that's not the views of all of the pro-choice people, but I guess those people are not fully pro-choice, they may just be pro-abortion.
Again you have tried to lump me into a category. Because 80% of black people want to call themselves african american does not make me an african american, if I know what I am.
The terms pro-choice and pro-life were supposed to be political correct masks for the terms pro and anti-abortion, yet as apparently everyone's changing the political correct attitude is dying down. yet that does not mean that there are not people that exist who are not in that pro-abortion category. I'm fine with pro-abortionists, make that stuff legal so that while pro-choice people get the woman's right to choose to be legal abortion can be one of those choices.
If a woman wanted to giver her unborn fetus up for stem cell research, you'd better believe I, a pro-choice person, would be 100% behind that choice.
Well you may be ready to jump onto the pro-life paddy wagon to support your argument, I'm not.
I am not pro-life, I believe people should always have the right to choose. I believe one should be allowed to die if they want to, because it's their life they are affecting, I am also for (repeat mode) the woman's right to choose what to do with her own body.
Pro-abortion is practically like saying "I want to kill children before they're born!" Most people that get abortions are accept people getting abortions would call themselves pro-choice, since that's more like saying "Depending on the situation, it's okay to abbort your child."
