Help settle an argument. Am I "Pro-Choice" or not?
I got into an interesting debate with a friend last night. She is pretty smart, and this one made me think.
I said that I do not care if women get abortions or not. I said that it is not my business and the Political State should not make it their business either.
Therefore, that makes me “Pro-Choice”
I also said that taxpayer money should NOT be used to pay for it, since some people have a serious objection to practice.
According to her, I am not “Pro-Choice”.
My friend says that “Pro-Choice” is not a metaphysical term, it is a political term. Being “Pro-Choice” means that you permit the practice, PLUS taxpayers money is available.
In other words “Pro-Choice” is a package deal.
She said the reason for this is that the whole basic issue behind legalizing abortion came not from women’s rights, but from a social engineering concern that without it there would be too many children born from poor or non productive parents.
So am I “Pro-Choice” or not?
