I’m pro-choice because the personhood of a embryo/fetus is irrelevant: no person has the right to impose themselves on another’s body.

I’m pro-choice because without the right and ability to say no, we lack the ability to say yes.

I’m pro-choice because every child should have the right to be a chosen child, whether or not their conception was intended.

I’m pro-choice because parenthood is way too damned hard for anyone to be forced into it.

I’m pro-choice because people with uteruses are, y’know, people, and capable of making their own decisions.

I’m pro-choice because there’s no way to ban abortion without upping the death rate of women.

I’m pro-choice because intended or not (and I’d argue it mostly is), the outcomes of abortion bans are misogynist and reify patriarchy.

I’m pro-choice because I refuse to tell you what to do with your body, and I wish the same right extended to me.

I’m pro-choice because banning abortion doesn’t help recognize the personhood of children, it removes the personhood of people with uteruses.

"When it comes to the thorny issue of abortion, a woman’s life IS the point. It’s time we reframed the debate to reflect that. By allowing anti-choicers to lay claim to the title of ‘pro-life’, we effectively concede that it’s okay to compare the already established life of a woman with the biological existence of an embryo. Unfortunately, anti-choice activism goes even further, seeking to elevate the status of a fetus to above that of a woman. Let’s just be very clear about this. When these people say pro-life, they’re not talking about the woman whose life will be permanently altered by being forced to parent a child she either cannot care for or simply doesn’t want."
