They want us to believe we should be happy with a decision like this, because we're for a woman's right to choose.
If you believe a woman's right to bodily integrity dictates her body is her own and that no one, including fetuses, may use it or continue to use it after an initial use without ongoing consent, then what she did is morally acceptable.
Honestly, I see nothing wrong with what she did. Her body, her choice to use it as she pleases and deny it's use to whomever she wants. I think it is unwise to intentionally put your body at risk and do what she did, but I don't think it should be in any way prohibited (I mean I think it is stupid to get tatoos and to perform extreme body mutilations, but I won't try to stop others from doing it to themselves either).
While you may feel that way, why should people be necessarily HAPPY she made that choice, because they're accepting?
I'll give you an example. I don't give a flying ******** if you abort or stay pregnant, nor can I. I am not gladdened by abortion, nor childbirth. I am not happy about this "choice," assuming the story is real. Doesn't mean I have a problem with her inducing a miscarriage, I have an issue with desecrating the tissue/remains by using it for art. Health issue, safety for her or others, and it seems very disrespectful to me.
Yet I should be happy? I'm happy she has a choice. Doesn't mean I support nor against THE choice, just that she can make one.
Pro-choice is not pro-abortion, and I think that's what you argued, Talon.
