as small as a world and as large as alone

Pro-life is…

Pro-choice is…

Pro-life isn’t — it’s anti-choice. You are anti me having the choice to manage my own reproductive health. Pro-lifers are that way ‘til the birth canal ends. After that, pull yourself up by your umbilical cord because it’s a harsh world, kid.

When a person is pregnant it’s all about the desperate need to protect a maybe baby. Complete disinterest afterwards. Need some WIC to help pay for food and formula? Cash-strapped for diapers? Unable to afford daycare either?

About that. Shouldn’t have gotten pregnant, you hussy.

The term pro-life is wholly inaccurate. It’s anti-choice, spurred by the desire to fetishize a fetus while telling those already here to piss up a rope.

Pro-choice, too many times in practice, is:

“You know what’s best for you, UNLESS your baby is likely to be disabled, or you are disabled, or you are someone else that I don’t think should be having children, in which case I know what’s best for you and you shouldn’t have that baby and it’s okay that there are practices in place to keep you from having that baby even if you have thought it over and really really want to have that baby.”

Which I hate, because I'm actually pro-choice.  And that attitude is almost as anti-choice as pro-lifers are.
