The left keep calling abortion a “reproductive right”, and any restriction on abortion an attack on “reproductive rights”.
The definition of reproduction is as follows:
1: the act or process of reproducingspecifically : the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring and which fundamentally consists of the segregation of a portion of the parental body by a sexual or an asexual process and its subsequent growth and differentiation into a new individual
2: something reproduced : COPY
3: young seedling trees in a forest
So as you can clearly see, reproduction is the act of making offspring.
Conception of a new human is reproduction, the creation of life is reproduction.
Abortion is the exact opposite of that. It is the intentional killing of the life that has already been created. Ending life is not reproduction. Thus, abortion is not a “reproductive right”.
No one is disputing that women have a “reproductive rights”. In other words, no one is outlawing or persecuting women for creating life. But abortion is not a reproductive act, thus it is not a “reproductive right”.
A woman who has gotten pregnant has already exercised her “reproductive rights”. She does not have “the right” to end that life.
