These types of ads are made because the lies within them are difficult for people to understand. Let me try to break it down for you.

1) Treatment for miscarriage is NOT an elective abortion. /1 2) The vast majority of miscarriages are managed by a wait and see approach.

3) The vast majority of the time women's bodies will manage miscarriage without the need for any medical intervention. /2

Thoughts of a prolife woman who has had an abortion. (Redt assured I will irritate everyone. Read at your own risk.) The majority of people who are pro-choice truly think the choice to abort their child is an option women need to have in order to control their lives and future. They do not hate children. They do not love abortion. They identify crises women actually face and care about women.

Laws against rape don't force celibacy.

Laws against auto theft don't force walking.

Laws against child abuse don't force parenting.

Laws against abortion don't force pregnancy.

The restriction of one action doesn't force another action. The opposite choice of rape is to not rape. Restricting rape doesn't demand celibacy or sex.

The opposite choice of theft is to not steal. Restricting auto theft doesn't require walking or purchasing a vehicle.

My teen, who is part of the LGB community, is rightfully weirded out by any adult she hasn't confided in wanting to talk about sexuality with her. My teen, who is not a part of the LGB community, feels the same. I, an adult who has had quite the sexual journey, feel the same. Why does anyone feel it is appropriate to even embark upon an inquiry about someone else's sexuality without knowing them unless the reason is an interest in a sexual relationship?

This always bothered me on a personally as well as philosophically. I've been raped. That was force. Denying someone sex isn't forcing celibacy. Denying someone abortion isn't forcing pregnancy. We've no right to commit violence other than self-defense. blog.equalrightsinstitute.com/pro-lifers-not… My abortion was far more traumatic than the rapes I experienced. I took a human life. My son never had the opportunity to experience autonomy outside my womb. I robbed him of it. The rapes took my autonomy, for a moment. I have my agency back. I get to live.
