Abortion Rights Are Women's Rights! PROCHOICE AMERICA

Abortion Rights are Women's Rights

There is probably no more consequential suspension of rights in America today than that of women to control our own bodies, sex lives, uteruses, reproduction, pregnancies and terminations / abortions. Everyone is "prolife"; those against others having an abortion are really anti-choice.

Anyone willing to make any sort of exception on abortion (including for IVF!) just wants to infantilize women and substitute their personal judgment about what choices should be made, and when, for the woman who is pregnant. This site is firmly prochoice - on everything. Every competent woman capable of becoming pregnant is capable of making her own decisions on whether and when she would like to carry or terminate her pregnancy based on her own situation, circumstances, beliefs and opinions.

Reasonable American women are caught in the middle - with one 'side' being dominated by rightwing republicans that seek to enforce their (usually patriarchal and male-dominated) religious opinions and punishment on women for being sexual beings. On the other it's by gender ideology obsessed democrats that will not even call 'the people who need abortions' "women".

This is seen currently in the state organized ballot questions and petitions using sexless language, and also giving doctors far too much power and control over women's decisions. Planned parenthood is behind a lot of the current gender pushing garbage. It was also clear democrats have no interest in actually protecting abortion or Obama would have kept his promise on FOCA, or dems could have codified Roe with the willing Republican women when Roe was overturned by theocrats on SCOTUS. Democrats refused by forcing poison pill trans ideology into the potential legislation rather than just protecting women's rights. They would rather beat us about the head with abortion as a cudgel at the ballot box than offer a real shield expressly protecting women's rights.

Women are the ones who should be in the driver's seat of our lives and bodies. The vast majority of discrimination and oppression women face in our lives is based on our sex, not our so-called gender. Everybody knows who the women are when they are making laws to trying to punish us for having sex and keep us from having an abortion. Women who do not want to be pregnant should not be referred to as "mothers". Forced pregnancy is literal slavery. Abortion rights are women's rights.
