Her Body / Her Choice / Her problem
I´ve notice that some “pro-choice” arguments can be used by male jerks to avoid responsabilities, or to justify horrible crimes agaisnt a woman, I would like to ask pro choice people their opinion about these
Some examples:
Argumet: 1
Her Body / Her Choice
What a jerk might argue using that logic:
I jerk would add "Her Body / Her Choice / Her problem"
If one grants that the woman can do whatever she wants with her body including killing the fetus, then why should the man have any responsibility if the mother decides not to abort? If she has the right to abort and avoid the responsibility of being a mother why can’t the man also avoid such responsibility and avoid things like child support?........
After all she decided to have the child when she had the alternative to abort, and she knew that the man is not willing to pay for child support, why should the man have any responsabilities?
Argument 2
It’s not a human worthy of human rights, it´s just a tumor or a parasite, as valuable as an intestine worm.
If woman have the right to kill intestine worms in her body, why can´t she simply kill the embryo?
What a Jerk might argue using that logic
If the fetus is just an intestine worm, it´ shouldn’t be illegal to force a woman to abort, a father shouldn’t go to prison for forcing her 15yo daughter to abort , I force my 3yo daughter against her will to take antibiotics and kill parasites all the time, and as far as I can tell, I don’t deserve to go to prison for that……….. so why is forcing a woman to kill an embryo considered a serious crime.?........
Argument 3
All woman should have the right to abort, even if they are 12yo even without the consent of their parents, no question should be asked, no cops involved
What a jerk might say/do:
A rapist could rape his 12yo neighbor, and then send her to an abortion clinic, nobody would ask any questions, nobody would make any investigation and the rapist can repeat his crime over and over again.
From the point of view of a pro lifer it is very easy to refute the Jerk “it is not her body” (and therefore not just her problem) ……… it´s a human and therefore forcing a woman to kill a human should be a serious crime, and any 12yo girl that became pregnant was obviously the victim of sexual abuse, so yes we should tell her parents, and call the police and start an investigation.
My question for pro choicers is:
How would you refute a Jerk without denying or rejecting the original arguments?
It seems to me that by using these arguments you are opening the door to more injustice and violence against the woman, (which would be again the goal of any feminist movement)……
With Jerk I mean “any male that would do something against woman rights”
