Fine, if you want to use the term "pro-choice" (which is false, what about the choice of the unborn baby?) then there is a lot of "pro-choice" violence too.
There are a few things one needs in order to make a choice. That is that they need the logical side of the brain in order to weigh the decisions, and they also need the right side of the brain for the sense of self. Without these two things interacting, nothing has made a choice. You can't ask an embryo to make a choice because
it has neither (depending on the stage). You're also forgetting that you're also never giving the embryo a choice, too. You're
forcing it to live.
Really, all this stupid argument is doing is appealing to the emotions of everyone around. "Oh my," they think, "that baby didn't get to choose!" Stop burying the truth. The baby
can't choose, so drop this argument. You're effectively personified something with less ability to choose than a dog or a cat! Stupid sites and things like the one where they go through the stages of development and have the baby explain what's happening are just laughable. Once again, this is just emotionally charged BS.
This also applies to the term "pro-life," a term which I find to be really stupid, because no one really likes to kill something, and so this term is just crazy propaganda in order to sway people emotionally to it
An unborn child is not a parasite. It is a human being. It is a person with rights!
Hmm... "An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host." Yeah, sounds like a growing embryo to me. Whether that really means anything
bad or not is up to interpretation, along with whether something like that deserves rights. What gives anything rights, really? Usually it's the ability to give back rights. Can an embryo give back rights? Nope. We hardly give children any rights in society. A parent pretty much gets to choose everything for them.
I'm not trying to devalue the embryo here, either. I'm just trying to show the other side. Things aren't black and white, guys. Both sides need to remember this. What we have is a sort of growing organism with no sense of self or really anything that could compare it to an adult, right-giving human, but this something has the
potential to become the kind of human we know and love. What it comes down to is how much you value potential. Everyone values it in varying degrees. Even the pro-life side has a line. That sperm every guy has in him is a potential. That means every wet dream you have or every time you touch, you've effectively killed a potential human. Guess what! Not many have a problem with this. This is because they weigh potential heavier later than this. So, not everyone that gets an abortion is a murduring mongrel. Stop being so absolute with everything!
