“Even when a person is dead, bodily autonomy trumps right to life. After all, they still need permission to harvest organs from a corpse to save other lives. I just think that women should at least have the same right to bodily autonomy as a corpse.”
—A quote I just read in relation to abortion. Very well put.
“Body Autonomy” or “Bodily integrity” is self-determination of human beings over their own bodies. You can’t be forced to give blood, bone marrow, or any part of you to another. You can’t even have them taken from you after you die without permission. The fact that you can save a life is irrelevant, nobody can forcefully take something from you.
Yet, there are people out there who believe 50% of the population *must* give up their body for 9 months, even if there’s risk of it killing them.
This is my new favourite “anti-choice folk are ignorant, sexist, idiots” argument.
pro choice
this is a hugely controversial topic I know, but for my English exam I need to collect poll opinions on controversial subjects.
so, if you are PRO CHOICE with your view on abortion, please reblog/like/
pro-life post here x
I'm pro-choice
But that being said, this does not mean that I:
- will want or have an abortion
- don’t like you if you choose to carry out your pregnancy
- hate you if you’re pro-life
- hate children
- am a liberal
- don’t value life
All it means, for me personally, is that I don’t believe the government should tell any woman what she can or cannot do with her body.
