Abortion insanity

[maquiscat]

It is when it is expected that a woman gestate and place for adoption that (some) people want to make her into a broodmare. Like when people say "just give it up for adoption (if you don't want it)".

I'm going to have to disagree with you here, but of course these are both opinions. But to me to be a "broodmare" would entail being told she has to repeatedly get pregnant and give up the child. Simply encouraging adoption over abortion simply doesn't rise to that level.

That's the thing though... for a woman to make a truly informed choice, none of the options, (aborting, parenting, relinquishing) should be encouraged for anyone's benefit but for her own.

We could apply this to pretty much anything including politics. By the logic presented, no one other than the candidate should be doing any encouraging. Sorry, but encouraging any given option is part of the freedom of speech we all enjoy.

My response above was regarding this part of your post. (bolded)

I am an adoptee. My POV comes a lot from that, of how it was growing up not knowing who you are or where you came from.

Ok, but I didn't understand your response.

If you have a better word for it, I'm all ears. Seriously.

Do you now? If so, we're good then?

You were right to call women broodmares if they are encouraged to choose adoption over parenting.

Why should there be a compromise? Is a compromise needed on a man's right to a vasectomy?

I agree. Moral crusaders are not interested in compromise anyway.
