The problem pointed to in the comic, seems to be that they are making choices about the lives of other bodies, but refusing to acknowledge these lives.Most people I know are pro-life/pro-choice. In other words, they hope for life, but think women need to have the right to make their own choice about their bodies and life

I don’t know, it might be funny to some people. What made it unique was that it sounded very similar to the rhetoric I often hear by people who try to justify abortion by claiming that the human being inside the young lady doesn’t have human rights.Was that comic strip meant to be funny?
Well, contrary to you, I know plenty of people who are “pro-abortion”. They are also very commonly interviewed in news outlets across the country. We’re talking about people who believe the child in the womb is not a human, or not deserving of human rights, in contradiction to the well-established science that proves that that child is, in fact, a human being.I don’t really know anyone who is pro-abortion.
I know people who are pro-choice and people who are anti-choice…but never met anyone who is pro-abortion.

It is hard for all of us to avoid giving in to popular thinking even when it doesn’t really make sense.Funny and trueCan’t believe I used to think like this.
This position makes the least sense to me. It is the idea abortions should be ‘safe, legal, and rare’. If something is good why should it be rare? If it is morally neutral why should it be rare? The only reason people think it should be rare is it is bad. If it is bad why allow it at all? Especially when it isn’t bad like not paying your taxes. It is bad by ending an innocent human life.I know people who are pro-choice and people who are anti-choice…but never met anyone who is pro-abortion.

That comic is pretty funny, and it does make a good point about how “pro-choice” people support the “right” to abortion but when they *want *to have a baby then suddenly the thing in their belly is a living person worth celebrating.
“Used to”. But you don’t nowFunny and trueCan’t believe I used to think like this.
I keep hearing the safe legal and rare rhetoric but abortion is not safe it is legal and it certainly isn’t rare. I don’t know about you but the fact there is huge amounts of money to that industry and yes it is a business I don’t know what people are thinking otherwise, is not going to make abortion rare and having it legal certainly didn’t make it rare. I think the fact that the woman who was used to make abortion-on-demand legal here in the United States was basically lied to to do so really speaks volumes about the abortion industry. I don’t understand why people that are on the left complain about big business yet want to fund abortion which is a big business. I of course have problems with right-wing politics. I do but I think this is really ridiculous.It is hard for all of us to avoid giving in to popular thinking even when it doesn’t really make sense.
