A vent.

And possibly a controversial one at that - you've been forewarned.

So as many of you may have noticed the anniversary of Roe v. Wade is upon us which brings the abortion rights debate to the forefront.  I have very strong opinions on the matter, but I will leave my vent at this: WHY DO PEOPLE USE THE PHRASE PRO-ABORTION??? That's just awful. No one is "pro-abortion". No one thinks abortion is awesome (well some people probably do, but they are the few evil in the world). Many people are pro-CHOICE which simply means leaving it up to a woman who may have found herself in an unexpected and bad circumstance to determine what is best for her in that particular situation.

Pro-Choice does not = Pro-Abortion. That's all, had to let it out here before I embarrassed myself on facebook. Thanks, bye.

  • I definitely agree th phrase pro abortion is ridiculous!

  • I have not heard that term used. I feel like it was something coined because pro-choice does sound very I guess tame? and they wanted to make it out that the people who are actually pro-choice are horrible horrible people. Gotta love the "spinners" of the world. I agree though terrible phrase and so incorrect (for the most part)
  • You are so right, and I actually never thought of it like that.  It sounds so insensitive. 

  • Agreed!  You are not alone!

  • I agree 100%...just because someone is pro-CHOICE does not make them pro-ABORTION!

    This.  I've never heard the term "pro-abortion" before, but it does sound pretty demented.
