🧵 A comparison of the differing approaches pro-choice and pro-life advocates take to supporting women.

It's a response to the common abortion stereotype that pro-lifers don't care about women or their born children, often used to avoid real conversation.

Abortion advocates offer networks to facilitate killing a woman's youngest child within her uterus & a return to her circumstances.

They offer a consistent message that some children are better off aborted & many women are better off avoiding motherhood. Abortion is cheaper.

That messaging extends to minors below the age of consent. In this thread abortion advocates promote abortion to minors without mentioning the risks, without assistance in holding abusers accountable, & without support for abuse related trauma.

Here abortion advocacy promotes abortion as an economic tool. It's cheaper than providing support. This common expression of abortion ideology usually targets & coerces poor women, even if it is dressed up in more compassionate language.
