A week or two ago I was browsing through a textbook called Contemporary (I think that's how it's spelled) living and a page catches my eye. Why? Cause it says abortion. I wrote down two quotes from it just for the sake of it and I wanted to know what everyone thought of it.
"Abortion is a choice that should be made by an individual only after seeking the best counsel available from religious leaders, parents, doctors, and counselors."
And this is how Pro-choicers are described:
"Those in favor of the right to choose abortion say that an embryo is not yet a human life."
Eh.
Your thoughts?
I don't find either quote to be entirely accurate; an individual does not have to speak with all those other people to make such a decision; it is theirs to make, and no one elses. If they wish to seek someone's opinion, that's fine, but being forced to? No way.
As for the definition of pro-choicers? Still wrong. Pro-abortionists are "in favour" of abortion. Pro-choicers are in favour "of choosing" one way or the other; whether keeping it, aborting it, or giving it up. Good gravy, it sounds like whoever wrote the textbook was somewhat biased, and put too much importance into discussing it with people who have no right to make judgements one way or another.
Nor did I see my aborted embryo as lifeless; it was a choice I had to make, albeit painful. It was for the better; my health was terrible, and because he worried, my fiance's health suffered as well.
