'''"A woman's right to choose"''' is a deliberately confusing slogan used by liberals to justify [[elective abortion]]. It combines in a tricky way the concept of choice as a "women's prerogative" with the general idea that adults should be free to make their own private medical decisions.

'''"A woman's right to choose"''' is a deliberately confusing slogan used by liberals to justify [[elective abortion]]. It combines in a tricky way the concept of choice as a "women's prerogative" with the general idea that ADULTS should be free to make their own private medical decisions (only adults however, not babies, who do not even get to choose whether they live or die).  
    
Both of these concepts assume that abortion is not a decision that affects the fate of another [[human being]]. One flaw with this argument is that the fetus is a human being with its own soul and (barring a situation where a woman aborts one of two identical twins) unique DNA. In reality, a woman's "right to choose" significantly affects at least two human beings in addition to the mother; the child and the father of the child, neither of whom are given the right to choose.
