Pro-choice; what's going on and why you should support it

Pro-choice; what's going on and why you should support it

It’s official: The Supreme Court has issued a decision that overturned Roe v. Wade as the law of the landFollowing decades of attacks from conservatives, it may seem like anti-abortion movements have won. But even as Roe falls, the fact that it ever existed serves as a powerful reminder that Supreme Court precedents come and go. Movements to protect abortion, however, are forever. - Vanessa Taylor

Some readings:

Reasons - pro-choice "I am pro-choice because I don't think there is any reason why a woman should have to face all the consequences from something she did not do alone. If a guy can get a woman pregnant and then run away, there is no reason why she should be the one responsible for everything."

Abortion facts "An abortion is a medical procedure that ends a pregnancy. It is a basic healthcare need for millions of women, girls and others who can become pregnant. Worldwide, an estimated 1 in 4 pregnancies end in an abortion every year."

Pro-life vs. Pro-choice "The two chief positions on the morality of abortion can be called the “pro-life” position and the “pro-choice” position. The basic pro-life position holds that induced abortions are morally impermissible (morally wrong, morally prohibited). The basic pro-choice position holds that induced abortions are morally permissible (morally allowable, not morally wrong)."

Arguments in favor of abortion "women have a moral right to decide what to do with their bodies"
