(36,186 posts)If one thinks abortion should be rare because it traumatizes women, it's an invasive procedure, women regret it, we need to control how women practice any form of birth control, it's a right wing argument. That is how right wingers feel about it.
It goes beyond just rephrasing, imho. It's a discussion about the culture and why some feel the need to judge in this way, even if they say they are pro-choice. Because the judgment isn't being made just for themselves (which is ok imho) but extends to other women as well. I do believe that these persons wouldn't advocate for any law that limits the choice, however they are stigmatizing it and are lending their voice to the opposition who would advocate for less access. If one is pro choice, all their opinions regarding trauma, procedures, they have a right to feel that way for themselves. Not for other women. That is what choice is. I think it's gettiing lost in the discussion.
One's morality needs to be left out of the discussion regarding choice, unless you are speaking for yourself, imho. It's an interesting discussion and one I am happy to have even if people accuse me of being the word police or forcing my opinion others. That is just derailment.
