After Roe v Wade was decided, the anti-abortion leagues went to a “marketing firm”, to rebrand themselves and sell American on the idea that abortion was wrong.
First they rebranded themselves as “Pro-Life”, which is the first lie. Being anti-abortion made them sound “anti-freedom”, which of course is what they are. From a marketing standpoint, it is better to be for something. People like to be associated with something positive.
As an added bonus, you can relabel the pro-choice movement as the “pro-abortion movement”.
But the anti-abortion movement isn’t prol-life at all. They don’t oppose war, or the death penalty. Nor are the pro-choice people “pro-abortion” at all.
We are pro choice, and many people who are pro choice are anti-abortion. They would never have an abortion under any circumstance. That is a choice for many of us.
I’ve never had to make a choice, but I sweated out the results of an amniocentesis until I was 23 weeks pregnant at age 40. 4 weeks of terror there would be something wrong and sobbing with relief when I got the results.
The late term abortions are always the ones no one ever wanted to have. These children were wanted and mourned.
American women will refuse to have babies. Period. The risk to your own life is too much.
