Line 1:
Line 1: − '''"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. + − − 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 unique DNA. In reality, a woman's "right to choose" significantly affects at least three human beings: the mother, the child, and the father of the child, who is not given the right to choose. − − ==Politics== − − The position is pro-abortion (or "[[pro-choice]]"). − − The argument expressed by the phrase is that the decision to have an elective [[abortion]] is always and necessarily a private matter between a woman and her doctor. It implies that the decision is simply "a matter of choice", and that no one else has a high enough stake in the matter to overrule her choice. − − This position is also called [[pro-choice]] and generally is favored by social [[liberals]]. − It is opposed by social [[conservatives]] who regard themselves as [[pro-life]]. − − It is one of the few sayings in English where a sentence is incomplete: "a woman's right to choose." Choose what? The answer, of course, being the death of a child in the womb. − − ==See also== − *[[Pro-life]] − − [[Category:Abortion]] − [[Category:United States Political Terms]]
