'''"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. It is considered easier to get support for something called this, as nobody would ever think about supporting "killing babies".
    
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 three human beings: the mother, the child (who may be a woman, who won't have the right to choose), and the father of the child, who is not given the right to choose.
