What I see again and again are pro-abortion columns based on women "needing" abortions because of age, economic or health reasons, and I suspect this is an attempt to show that we need to preserve the right to end a pregnancy that cannot continue. OK, most of us are fine with that.
But wait...what about a woman's right to control what happens to her body and her life? Back in the 70s I had 2 abortions. And I had them because I did not want to be pregnant, nor did I want a baby. That is what we need to fight for - abortion on demand. Because otherwise, we're going to be fighting for permission to end pregnancies. Asking permission is not addressing a right, it is a form of misogyny we should be fighting.
Totally agree. The question is whether women control their bodies or if the state controls womens reproduction. If it is the state then women will never have full citizenship or equal protection under the law.
