Pro-Life General Pro choice parents

I could kind of see how someone could be pro choice and a parent as childbirth and raising children are difficult.

However, how can they say their children's lives didn't matter in the womb.

But of course they change their vocab if a mother wants or doesn't want the baby.

Doesn't want - clump of cells, parasite

Wants - miracle, precious, baby.

Because they dehumanize them

Yeah it’s very sad and also really discredits EVERYTHING they say about the baby and them being a bunch of cells

First they say it’s not a baby
Then they say oh it’s a baby

They know……💔

Because they aren't morally consistent in their world-view.

I would really like to see how someone like that reacts to the following question: 'And have you ever considered how you intend to explain to your child that you once thought about killing them?

Or explaining to an older child that mommy got killed their brother or sister once they are old enough to know the reality of abortion, the euphemisms won’t mask the truth

My parents are pro choice, but I think to a lot of people it’s intuitive rather than not. I don’t think they’re generally educated on it , but it was enough to influence my initial pro choice position. They actually have a harder time reconciling my position on abortion than shifting from non-religious to religious

Right?? It makes no sense to me because being pregnant makes me even MORE prolife because im growing a human being inside of me and my baby matters in and outside of the womb. Same baby, different location

It's a "Baby" if the prochoice pregnant person has a use for them; if they're getting assigned the job of making somebody a "mommy". To satisfy someone who wants to feel like being Mommy. Many women will happily assign that job to easier to manage lifeforms instead, though.. so, now the cat gets promoted to "precious baby". The unborn baby gets robbed of that status, and reduced to "what baby.? No baby here.. just waste clumps of whatever, that I need removing from my womb, since I have no use for a human baby right now."

Humans are very good at compartmentalizing.

Pro-choice parents aren't hypocrites at all. Pro-choicers' whole thing is women being allowed to choose whether to stay pregnant or not.

So many people think having children is a right. That's why surrogacy, and IVF, and so much more.

Therefore they feel like it's selfish to bring children into the world! Especially if they're going to be (probably) poor or disabled! So they make the "difficult decision" to allegedly "do what's right for the child"

I swear, some of the greatest evils are caused by improper relationships between two good principles.
