anti-abortionists and pro choicers like me can agree on one thing: whoever creates the life can destroy the life. only the former have the male-self-insert god character who metaphysically acts as the one "knitting" the fetus in the womb, while those who observe the world as-is without invoking yahwhist lore rightfully attribute that ability to the woman.

#as with all things some clarifications #i and other pro-choicers do not personally believe that mothers have an unconditional right like the god in the abrahamic religions to kill #anti abortionists are not as extreme in this belief #we maintain that a woman deserves full unconditional sovereignty of her body and matters concerning it #she is the one to dictate what grows and lives within herself #for only then does the female individual completely own herself #the state should have no claim on her or she is not an autonomous individual or “complete” individual within the state #right to autonomy is the precipice for right to life #autonomy is fundamental to the idea of “rights” in the first place #right to life is secondary because it is meaningfully dependent on right to autonomy #you cannot defend the fetus' right to life if “defense” is not already a universal right of an individual #radblr #reproductive rights #radical feminism #abortion #pro abortion #anti abortion
