A pro-choicer being against sex selective abortions is a hell of an oxymoron
Not if women's rights is more important to you than cultural relativism.
The whole idea behind people being "pro-choice" is that no one should be able to influence what a women decides to do with own her own body. It doesn't matter if what her motivation is convince, rape or incest so why is sex selective different? Or is it only a Women's choice when it's not inconvenient for the pro choice argument?
It's hardly a woman's free choice to abort her baby for whatever reason when she's been effectively brainwashed by her culture into believing that sons are far more valuable than daughters, and that therefore the latter should be aborted if at all possible. That is where I draw the line in the sand.
You draw the line in the sand because if a women finds it more convenient for HER Situation to have a son than a daughter she's being brainwashed and it's not her choice?
Brainwashed? Please. Is it not brainwashing when there's hundreds of sites on the internet that "persuade you" that it's better to abort a baby than raise them in a low income situation? But it's brainwashing if people feel that having a boy is more benifical to their situation?
So it's a women's choice until her motivations for having an abortion doesn't benefit the female population?
So the line in the sand is basiclly if a Women wants an abortion because it's her body fine, If a women wants an abortion because she was raped fine, If a women wants an abortion because it hurts her health fine, If a women wants an abortion because it's convenient for her fine, BUT GOD FORBID If a women wants an abortion because she doesn't favor the sex of the child the LINE HAS BEEN CROSSED.
Every part of a pro-choicer being against Sex-selective abortions goes against the very concept of Women having the choice because what you're basiclly advocating for is limiting the motivations women can have for their abortions. If women have to justify to you guys why they're having an abortion than it's not their choice.
As a Pro-life advocate(Who's an atheist) it seems weird to see pro-choicers argue against legal abortions when they don't agree with the motivation Or more specifically when the motivation doesn't benifit the pro-female argue feminist try to make.
Why should the sex "of a blob of cells" even matter to pro-choicers?
I don't usally argue about social issues but something about this obvious contradiction infuriates me.
