Planned Parenthood Drops Failing “Choice” Rhetoric on Abortion
Feminist blog Jezebel reports that, in an advanced press briefing yesterday, Planned Parenthood revealed a new strategy for how it will talk about abortion.
After polling Americans on how they feel about abortion and about the terms “pro-life,” “pro-choice,” and other language surrounding the abortion debate, the nation’s largest abortion chain is moving away from talking about abortion in the decades-old language of “choice” in favor of language that emphasizes the “difficulty” of the abortion decision.
Planned Parenthood has realized that the demographic they have to pursue and persuade is the majority of Americans who are somewhere in the middle on abortion....
The word choice never belonged. The father of the baby could not chose for the baby to live. The grandparents have no say, those who would love to adopt the baby could not chose, those who were against abortion have no voice in the matter, and obviously the unborn infant was not given a vote. It was one person enforcing their will on all other parties involved. Where I come from they call that a DICTATORSHIP, not choice. Over 99% of abortions have nothing to do with rape or incest (not saying that is a reason for abortion, why punish the child for the sins of the father?)so apparently the woman's right to choose came at the time she became pregnant. Abstinence would have been a great choice, it works every time it is tried.
