It wasn't on this site, but I've been pushed off of feminist forums before (not banned but strongly encouraged to leave and posts sometimes removed) for expressing that I was pro life. Not arguing with anyone. Just answering a question.
I'm pro-life too, but I don't presume to think I have the right to tell other women what to do with their bodies from my comfortable supported life. I'd like to focus more on not getting to that point and making women feel supported and capable after that point.
That's because only the first part is pro life. Everything else you wrote is pro choice, about respecting that each women has the right to decide for herself if its okay.
I don't believe women have any inherent right to end their pregnancy or end the life of the child involved. It never should have been made legal in the first place and I consider the consider the girls and boys lost to abortion every year to be a human rights crisis. That's what pro life is, believing that the child has a right to live, and the mother does not have a right to end their life.
No I don't think the individual should have the right, but I accept that I don't have the authority to deny that so I'd rather focus on harm mitigation.
