You have a choice. Don’t get pregnant.
“You have a choice. Don’t get pregnant.”
______________________________
You are correct, of course. Women have choices at multiple stages or milestones in the acts preceding the birth of a child. But getting pregnant is not even the first decision point. Odd as it sounds . . .
The harpies on “The View” are correctly identifying a prior choice. Don’t have sex with men. Choose the sex strike that Joy Behar(py) recommends.
Before that you can choose to use effective birth control, free in many places.
I’m a great fan of choices in my own (male) life. Advocates on this site could easily list a dozen choices for women, all short of abortion. For those who defend abortion as “a right,” no matter what the ruling of the SCOTUS, they will still have choices galore because the decision if it stands as reported in draft, will not—NOT—ban abortion.
Seems to me that advocates are radical and irrational in fighting for the most radical and irrational choice to avoid an unwanted birth. Not to diminish an unborn life but certainly to diminish the illogic of abortion advocates, it’s the equivalent of removing a splinter from your right hand via an invasive surgery that begins with entering the body from the left hand and extracting through the width of the body. In short, there exist dozens of choices short of ending an unborn life.
