Why do they call abortion rights "reproductive rights"? Only one thing is being contended!

I am all for anyone's right to reproduce. Go nuts!

I'm just not particularly cool with abortion.

Freedom to reproduce is legal in all 50 states, with no restrictions. . .if I'm not mistaken.

It's about framing the narrative. If they called it "baby killing" it wouldn't be as palatable as "reproductive rights".

It amazes me that reproductive rights only comes up for women. Notice they never talk about abortion in other instances.

1. If a father wants to opt out and give up his paternity rights/obligation, he is denied. But if a woman wants abortion, its acceptable. Why is that fair.

2. If the father wants the baby but the mom doesn't, the mom will win out if she wants abortion, why?

Wouldn't it be more fair in either scenario to just ban abortion and make everyone involved responsible.

They have to use more neutral terms so that the general populace won’t realize how much of a blight on humanity these people are.

You have freedom to choose who you associate with.....choice

You have freedom to choose who you sleep with.....choice

Once you decide to bang someone you have all kinds of birth control to choose from(free if like).....choice

Don't fall for the rape/incest canard......I'm just discussing 99% of abortions.

I'd be thrilled to exchange rape/incest exceptions for an end to murder on demand.

For the same reason they it's called the Dept of Defense instead of the more accurate name: War Dept.

Because it turns a losing argument into a winning one. Here:


Q: Do you support the right of a person to kill a baby?
A: HELL NO


Q: Do you support the rights of women to chose their own timing and process when they can get pregnant and have children?
A: HELL YES


Lying is the only way the eviltards on the left can win this

Abortion has nothing to do with reproductive rights. Reproduction has already occurred at conception. It’s about opposing the murder of human organisms, not opposing the right to create them.

It’s a proven scientific fact that human organisms are created at conception.

Either you believe all human organisms are created with equal inherent/natural rights,

or,

you believe we merely have privileges that are arbitrarily granted by whoever happens to be ruling over us at the moment that can discriminate however they feel like.

The woman’s body plays a significant role in creating new life too, regardless of her knowing or intending it to happen. She forces her offspring into a temporary situation of life dependency and therefore she is responsible for safely getting her offspring through it.

Abortion rights are a subset of the broader set of reproductive rights. Yes, some people choose to use the latter term when discussing abortion entirely for rhetorical purposes. Exactly the same reason that some people say “pro-life“ rather than “anti-abortion.“

When I hear "Reproductive Rights" I start thinking about free IVF procedures and such, not abortion.

That's actually where I think the GOP could outflank Democrats on the issue and could help themselves with the Suburban mothers that help swing women. Advocate that corporations & health care providers should be more concerned about helping women who actually want to have babies but can't due to the high cost of fertility.

If the GOP started pushing forward on that issue, liberals' heads would explode.
