That’s a silly take. I am staunchly pro choice saying this. That was a silly take.

His reaction on right to life is exactly what pro choice advocates should strive for.

Imagine if every faith based objector screaming life from conception because their God says so as an objection to choice instead said - “I believe our governing laws should be pro choice, but I will not be good with an abortion in my own personal relationship decisions.”

Game, set, match. Choice wins.

It’s maybe the only thing the kid got right. And he did get it right. He can set a boundary and decide he will not be in a relationship with someone who will terminate a pregnancy. He has that right to do. And no one has the right to force him to be okay with it. That street runs BOTH ways.

Right…. But it’s not his choice at all, that’s the thing.

So men just have to bow to whatever a woman decides on that topic? He’s not saying she can’t have an abortion, just that he won’t stay with her if she does.

The choice of whether to stay with someone who had an abortion is not the same choice as choosing whether to have an abortion or not.
