The abortion movement has only provided her with the option of having a dead rather than a live baby. However, once a woman is pregnant, the undeniable fact is, she is going to have a baby. In other words, she has the admitted Constitutional right not to become pregnant by whatever means she chooses whether it be abstinence, the use of contraception or through sterilization. The supporters of life believe that a woman’s “right to control her body” exists before she becomes pregnant.
However, those in the pro-life movement make no moral judgments in this matter since there always exists the possibility that the pregnancy was due to an external force over which she had no control. There are those who have said that, had she exercised “control” in the first place, she would not be pregnant. To being with, the very fact that a woman has a “crisis pregnancy” demonstrates that she, for whatever reason, lost “control” over her body. However, a critical analysis of their argument reveals several inconsistencies: In order to efface that difference, they believe that women should have the political and legal power to decide whether or not they want to be pregnant at any given time. It presents the contention by radical feminists that abortion is an essential part of their struggle for power that power being equated as the ability to control in the most basic way, a woman’s reproductive functions.įeminists recognize that the most obvious and telling difference between men and women is a woman’s ability to bear life. This is the primary feminist premise for abortion rights. A women has the right to control her own body Let us examine the most important and prevalent of these premises and refute their intentional deception. Abortion propaganda has been presented as fact by, among others, the media and the medical and legal professions for so many years that the public, including many of those who support life, have come to believe this rhetoric and consider these premises as fundamental realities in the abortion situation. Nowhere is this more evident than in the critical issue of abortion.
It has been said that those who define an issue, own that issue.
